Shower. Weight training: pec crawl. Time Machine notified me today that it hadn't backed up in 10 days. When I checked this out, I found that my backup volume was unavailable. I checked on my 2nd local backup and my offsite backup—both still working. Called AT&T and discontinued service for Patrick's phone, which he recently returned to me because he got a different phone through Joseph. I figured AT&T would prorate the service when I ended it, but they did not, so I ended up paying for an additional month of service that we weren't going to use. Whatever. So as of July 23, my phone bill will go down from $161 per month to $40 per month—so nice. Errands at Stonestown Galleria: bought a 2nd memory foam chair pad at Brookstone, grocery shopping at Trader Joe's. Attempted to store basil properly: trim the ends, stand up in a vase with stems but not leaves in the water, covered with a plastic bag, stored by the window but not in direct sun. We'll see how it goes. Prewashed apples, had to use Goo Gone to remove unusally sticky labels (#94130). Early dinner with Will: TJ's high-protein firm tofu with basil, spinach, and garlic; unsweetened blueberry-pomegranate green tea. Blush, a Pink Saturday party, at the Montecito North with hosts Jeff, Chris, Rob, Josh. Met Nick, Ian, Misha, Mike, Esteban, Justin, Mike, Jeff, Rob, Peter, Sean, James C, Jacob W, Bonnie, Adam, Alex, Hai, Cory, and many others. Encountered Ryan, Jason, Herman, Tim, Scott, Andy, Jeremy, Brett, Ted, Matt. Late meal at Nombe with Ryan and Jason. It's kind of like Japanese tapas. We learned that Nombe means a person who likes to drink sake, can have a positive or negative connotation depending on how you use it.
