Breakfast at home: 3 slices of caribbean banana bread, a handful of cherries, 8 ounces of nonfat milk. Opened and ripped Matt Alber's "Hide Nothing" with Max. The cd packaging is particularly creative. Picked up alterations: black velveteen jacket. Installed Audacity and Lame Library for Audacity. Edited track 10 of "Hide Nothing" to properly split the tracks into 2 tracks. Donated to the AIDS Lifecycle riders that I knew were participating. Late lunch at home: stir fry with tofu, cabbage, baby bok choy, mushrooms, onion. Sewing: original hem on gold Levi's 511 skinny canvas jeans. Cleaned the oven. Dinner at home with Will: oven-roasted potatoes with sea salt and spices, garden burgers with Tillamook sharp chedddar. Watched Harry Potter 7 (The Deathly Hallows) on Netflix DVD with Will. Before the film started we were really annoyed because the way the DVD was created we could not start watching the film immediately and it felt like we had to sit through 20 or 30 minutes of commercials for the video games, theme park, and other things related to Harry Potter. I tried many times to skip to the DVD menu but received an error from Apple DVD player: "Operation not permitted." Yes, other DVDs do the same thing but this seemed like an unusually large number of commercials. The workaround: after each commercial sequence begins, jump to the end of the sequence on the bar with the progress indicator. Now I know: for the least amount of hassle and no commercials, insert the DVD 30 minutes before you plan to view the film.
