Breakfast with Patrick and Tina at The Mission North Park. Stopped at Simon's Asian imports store where Tina bought some gifts. Walked to Heaven Sent Desserts (619-793-4758, 3001 University Avenue, San Diego) where Tina dropped off a layer of Aztec chocolate cake for Luz. Back to the bake shop at the Art Institute. We continue working on the cake. Daniel arrives. Patrick and I made fondant fishies and an octopus, and we painted fondant and pastillage. Daniel took me and Patrick to a strip mall to pick up dinner to go. I also stopped at Long's Drugs. Back to the Art Institute. I had Chinese food. My fortune: The greater part of inspiration is perspiration, lucky numbers 5, 31, 44, 2, 18, 30. Tina finished the cake, and we took lots of photos. Daniel dropped us off at Doubletree then returned to the Art Institute to help Tina deliver the cake. Yesterday and today while hanging out at Tina's place I helped her with her computer. I helped her free up some disk space (it was dangerously low) and defrag and optimize for speed. I made a checklist of more computer things to do for her:
- how to manage digital music
- install Firefox and Sage
- how to leave AOL
- how to use remote assistance
- new computer
- IM
- why is Firefox better than IE?
We didn't get any of the checklist items done.
