Morning run: 45 minutes (a new record). Shower. Usual oatmeal breakfast. Tidied and cleaned the apartment. After reading about Marlon Brando on imdb, I am amazed at his intelligence, wit, candor, and life story. More house chores: folded laundry, washed dishes. Mid-morning snack: a plum. Joel recently sent me a link to the phallic logo awards on b3ta.com, and I got time to view it today. It had me laughing so hard it was painful. I wish I had known about the nominations—I would have hunted down the old alistapart.org logo and nominated it. (It was the letters A-L-A all in lowercase with round counters for the As.) Lunch at home by myself: black peppered turkey sandwich with "cheese" and green leaf lettuce, tortilla chips, hot water. Met Drew and Phil at the Asian Art Museum. They had never been before. Afterwards we got drinks and a snack at Harvey's: Jack neat for Drew, long island iced tea for Phil, grapefruit juice for me. Onion rings, nachos. Aaron and Sanjay happened by on the sidewalk and we chatted for a minute and they went on their way. Patrick met us after he got off from work. We drove to their place and had dinner. Phil had prepared egg rolls over rice noodles with fish sauce. (I don't remember the Vietnamese name he told us for the dish.) We chatted in the living room afterwards sharing orange sherbet.
