Breakfast at home: leftover vegetable soup. Laundry. Patrick and I ran some errands. Dropped my old Dell widescreen monitor at work. I hadn't been using it at home and might be able to use it as an extra monitor at work. Light lunch at Whole Foods (Haight): spinach orzo salad, tuna salad sandwich on croissant, bottled organic teas. Grocery shopping at Whole Foods (Haight). We got everything we wanted and spent only about $100. Patrick has been telling me that their 365 line of organic foods is a really great value, and after shopping today I have to agree. Staff was numerous and friendly. Customers seem fitter, healthier, and more attractive than other groceries at which we shop. Parking wasn't a problem. We circled the block once and on the 2nd attempt at entering the parking lot, we got a space after only 2 minutes. Folded laundry. Nap. Dinner at home with Patrick: steamed broccolini, soy noodles, water. Watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes on Netflix DVD with Patrick. Stove-cooked popcorn with butter and garlic powder. I had hoped for this film to be smarter than it turned out to be. It was entertaining, but the plot was unbelievably and unnecessarily absurd in a handful of places. The film kinda said, "Here's some crazy stuff that happened," and it failed to provide much insight as to what had happened.
