This morning I awoke recalling a dream I just had: The lines at Trader Joe's were so long that I fell asleep in line standing up and that no one had bothered to wake me when it was my turn so when I woke up (still in the dream) I had to look around for my groceries which had disappeared but I walked up and down all the registers and could not find them. I haven't recalled a dream that vividly in a long time. I later realized how Inceptionesque it was to recall sleeping and awakening within a dream (though it wasn't quite recalling a dream within a dream). Breakfast at home: cream of wheat with fresh diced granny smith apple, City Bees McLaren Park honey, cinnamon, nonfat milk; hot water. Linkchecking. Finished coding the new update from the dean, sent it to Susie for review. Conference call with Susie and Eric D: FKH/Roy animation/video. Lunch: 3 small tacos, hot water. Coded a new policy page for Cindy and Don. Snack: one slice of mini-loaf banana-coconut bread. Kiosk management. Flickr management. Short notice dinner with JY at Katana-Ya: gyoza, Katana-Ya ramen, tea. We talked about Industry power outage, Shangri La, Folsom Street Fair, Real Bad, Australia, Dolores Park. Drove with JY back to his place for cookies and cream ice cream. Hung out watching television while he got some tasks done like buying tickets. Went to A-List at Amber India, my first time to both. Encountered John B, Alex C. I ordered a drink but the bartender gave me the drink without letting me pay. I eventually paid; maybe she presumed I was starting a tab? Met Antonio (UCSF med student), Nick (NJ, Castro), Jeff, Antoine. We talked about UCSF, medical school, who was single versus who was a couple, yoga. Some politicians gave a few speeches. A writer named David Jedeikin handed out postcard ads for his book Wander the Rainbow. He talked a little about his book and then his scooter (because I asked about his Dainese jacket). Late meal: 2 slices of leftover pizza.
