Slept in. Very late breakfast by myself at home: oatmeal. Grocery shopping at Safeway. It's been a long time since I went to Safeway. Patrick had been doing all the grocery shopping for a while now since it's not something I enjoy very much. Safeway remodeled their produce section and improved some of their display cases, rearranged some other parts of the store. I noticed they are cautiously trying to go upscale by introducing a small organic produce section and organic brands throughout. I appreciate the changes, but I agree with Patrick that the quality of their organic produce is still not as high as at other places. I think I spent 2 hours shopping for food, and part of it was just getting reacquainted with so many choices and part of it was taking in the things about the store which were new to me. Of course in the checkout line I realized I had forgotten some things (e.g., lunch meat). Home. Chatted with Patrick online. Prepared dinner: shake and bake chicken tenders, curly fries, steamed carrots, fried brown rice with mushrooms. Dinner prep took just under an hour, and I got everything timed to finish correctly. While preparing dinner, I cut and separated meat packages I bought into single-serving portions and put them in the freezer. Worked on print materials and website for Recharge Spa. Added a link to Yelp on the website, added a privacy policy page. Arranged with psychobauble/Chris to see Starman (I have never seen it) and Brainstorm (I saw it once a long time ago) tomorrow night at the Castro Theatre. Call me or send me mail at work if you want to go with us. Weight training. Chatted briefly with Drew on the phone. Dessert: Breyers blueberry lemon ice bar—delicous! I forgot to mention that sneeper explained on Friday what interregnum means, in the context of the two reigns of Steve Jobs. I had never known that word before and found it interesting and useful.
