Did some house chores. Added some notes to April 25. Affixed the last board in the second bedroom shelving project. Ensured that all (well, mostly all) light switch and outlet faceplate screws were horizontal. Patched holes in the wall with spackling. Uploaded photos from Patrick's trip with Sam to Vienna, Salzburg, and Melk beginning May 27, 2005. Went with Phil and Drew to a friend's BBQ at 24th and Hoffman. I met Jose and Keith and several others. The back yard had beautiful gardens which looked to me professionally maintained. There was a small stream and waterfall, too. The party food was delicious, and Riyahl (sp?) brought a lemon cake from Delissio which was delissio. Afterwards, Drew drove us downtown. I took photos of downtown San Francisco from the back seat of the car. We went to the Cartoon Art Museum. The current exhibits on rotation were: Earthquake!, No Straight Lines: Queer Culture and the Comics, and the small press spotlight was Gene Yang. Fun! Patrick and I had dinner at So Restaurant (415-731-3143, 2240 Irving) with Jesse and Remi. So Fish, spinach and garlic, shredded pork, fried rice. Afterwards: Double Rainbow for ice cream. I had cherry vanilla, Patrick and Jesse had golden gate fudge caramel ripple something, Remi had lychee nut ice cream. I watched a new Simpsons episode while we were there. Afterward, we listened to Vangelis, Mike Oldman, and selections from Patrick's new album of original music, which is still in production, but nearly finished. I am very much enjoying Dan Savage's The Commitment. It's a quick read, most especially because I waited for 40 minutes for a bus today. Our PGandE (one month) and water bill (two months) came out to $246. I chatted with L about this and other things. I notice Travis has over 10,000 photos in his Flickr account now (!).
