Breakfast: pumpkin pie spice French toast, sliced strawberries, fruit smoothies (strawberry and banana). Cleaned and tidied the apartment. Dishes, laundry. Sam let Patrick borrow an Edirol PCR-30 MIDI keyboard controller, so I completed configuration to hook it to one of our computers so that he can create music with it. Took apart the Cobalt Qube 3 and pulled out the hard drive to see if I could salvage data from it. Lunch: leftover pizza. Read "ONJ.com," Vestal McIntyre's story from Fresh Men: New Voices in Gay Fiction. Nap. Dinner at Xiao Loong with Steve, Travis, and Patrick: prawns and Chinese chive dumplings, Pan-Pacific wontons, black bean chicken, Xiao Loong beef, combination chow mein, steamed rice, two kinds of tea: one oolong, one green. Fortunes: Travis's says The dragon of desire is on your heels, pushing you into adventure. Enjoy! Steve's says Your ability to believe has created an upcoming dream - come - true. Patrick's said Confucius says your eyes have magnetized a secret admirer. Mine says You will be singled out for promotion. After dinner Patrick left to meet up with Aaron, and the rest of us browsed in A Different Light bookstore and a gifts store before drinks and dancing at The Cafe.
