Weight training: arms. Oatmeal with banana. Set up recent grads listserv, started preparing rotation of the listservs. Electronic forms for James. Chatted with Melissa about PharmCAS sudden changes. Updated graduation e-mail page and sent out an announcement to grads regarding the forthcoming closure of their accounts. Lunch with Melissa and Ena: We walked to Yummy Yummy but there was a long wait for a table. San Tung had an open spot, but I refused to eat there because of last time. We finally decided upon Mae Thip. I forgot what everyone ate but we talked about clothes shopping, topsecretrecipes.com. Dinner at home with Patrick: frozen pizza. Patrick met with Aaron in the evening. Good news: I didn't get called in for jury duty! Hooray! My badge number was 568624. I'm free from jury duty until at least June 21, 2005! Patrick had to go in to jury duty today. They chose 26 people for initial jury selection, but since the process isn't completed, Patrick has to return tomorrow. After dinner I dusted and vacuumed and tidied while listening to John Williams scores. Archived photos from Angel Island and the Cherry Blossom Festival. (Thanks, Travis!) Watched an old Simpsons episode live: Homer Loves Flanders. Reviewed keyboard shortcuts for Firefox again. Researched backup solutions (again). The last time I did this I thought DIBS was cool but it didn't seem very easy to implement, so I never tried it out. Now I'm not sure what I'd like to do. I'd like to stay away from tape if I can. The Onstream DI30 drive I've had for years has worked pretty well, but support for it essentially disappeared and I'd rather not deal with media if I can avoid it.
