Usual oatmeal breakfast. Stopped at Mom Ryan's, saw the new bedspread and matching draperies we bought her for Christmas, helped her figure out some settings with her Toshiba (not Panasonic) TV and VCR, taught her how to program it. Patrick and I ran errands in the Castro. We got a snack at Escape From New York, a box of facial tissue for the car at Walgreen's (I didn't hear any ads this time), an almond latte at Spike's. We took photos of the shop window at That Underwear Store and did grocery shopping at Safevay. Home. I washed the car and did some autodetailingesque cleaning. I found a 10 cent euro coin in the back seat of our car—I wonder from where that came. I helped Patrick make wontons. Dinner at home with Patrick. This is the first time Patrick made a variation of wor won ton soup—it's delicious and it included pork wontons, Chinese bbq pork, mushrooms, spinach, fish cake, chicken broth. I recently discovered that our coat closet contains someone's black leather jacket—we don't know who the owner is, so if you know please let us know. Worked on Corinna's website. I realized today that what I said two days ago about IE7 is not entirely correct. Alt+F didn't work for me on a page that had an accesskey set for F, so it appeared that Alt+F didn't work. On pages that don't have an accesskey set for F, Alt+F does bring up the File menu in IE7. Watched Princess Mononoke on DVD with Patrick. I so did not understand it, so I'll have to get someone to explain everything in it to me. Patrick went to bed, and I researched online backup solutions: mozy, mozypro, carbonite, drivehq, and more.
