Breakfast at home: 2-egg veggie scramble, 2 hash browns, 2 slices of wheat toast with spreadable butter. To work, observed a stalled N-Judah train at 9th and Judah. A bystander said that the train had hit a car, but by the time I arrived the car must have been taken away. Lots of email followup. PID online payments and Sencha work. Lunch: takeaway from Panda Express: fried rice, honey walnut shrimp, veggie spring rolls, water. My fortune: Don't let unexpected situations "throw" you. FERPA training with Doug C. PID online payments and Sencha work. Visited Dr. Natasha Lee for a dental checkup. All is well. Tina did a textbook-perfect job of cleaning my teeth. Dinner with Chris and Nate at Kasa using a Groupon. My first time dining here; I liked it. Dessert: Chris and Nate's first not-soft-serve ice cream at Bi-Rite Creamery. Hopped back and forth between The Cafe (Kidd Sysko, 90s and Top 40) and Badlands, stopping at Harvey's comedy night for a spell to watch a really good comedy show. I was particularly disappointed with The Cafe because not many places play 90s music. The music was not as loud as it is on weekends, and Kidd Sysko tonight was letting songs play long instead of doing quick mixes which I prefer. I stopped in several times throughout the night but every time the dance floor was completely empty, and the bar otherwise had maybe 30 persons. Tuesdays in the Castro the best bet is probably going to be Harvey's for comedy night or Castro Theatre for a show, then if you're up for something after it's whatever bar depending on what you're into. Met or encountered Gary, Scott, Mark, Sean, Mark, Sergio, Rob P. Installed the Google Voice iPhone app which recently became available for the first time—finally!
