Patrick discovered a leak in his room this morning. We sent our landlord an email and he's going to look at it tomorrow. I sent Amazon this feedback today: "Since Nov 27, 2012, I have placed 6 orders for scheduled gift cards and I have encountered a number of problems that I'm not sure you're aware of. (1) My recipient received his gift but told me that it didn't say who it was from even though when I ordered the gift card I completed a field to say who it was from. The To and From fields incorrectly say "[empty]" (2) The scheduled gift cards appear to send earlier than expected. e.g., I ordered 5 to be delivered on 12/25/2012 but when I log in today at 12/23/2012 my account says they have already been sent. (3) on the page at https://www.amazon.com /gp /css /gc /manage when I review the gift cards I have ordered or sent, you fail to show me the item I previously suggested. I want to see the item I suggested along with the gift card. Please contact me to acknowledge these problem reports and to let me know if or when these problems will be resolved. I like the feature very much—no one else yet has this feature as far as I know, so I'd like to continue using it, but you need to resolve these problems or the deal is off. Thanks!" Recently I created an account on pinterest solely to create a secret board to replace the three-ring binder of places that offer food delivery that Patrick and I use infrequently. It works alright for that. I have created no public boards yet. Breakfast: one slice of banana bread. Lunch: three leftover potstickers. Nap. Met Neil G at Edge for drinks. Met neil edge matt dustin thomas matt matt matt derek and mark. Later we went to dinner at Eureka Restaurant and Lounge. Prosecco for both. I ordered a half order of wild mushroom ravioli with truffled mascarpone. Neil ordered a half order of creole gumbo with house-smoked chicken and cajun sausage and a side of okra. Afterwards we bought white elephant gifts at Walgreens then took a cab to a house party on 32nd Avenue near Presidio thrown by a friend of Shawn P's named Aaron N. When we entered, the group was watching the end of Love, Actually, which I had never before seen. Following that, we exchanged white elephant gifts. I received an amplifier for an iPhone 4/4s. I gave a girl's backpack filled with things like a tiara and a mirror. Neil gave laundry detergent and received something but I can't remember what it was now. I met ahmed ivan shawn gabe taro mike lac. Some left the party to return to the Castro, so I hitched a ride and met them along the way: Taro, Mike, Lac. Taro wanted to go home, so Mike offered to drive him there (near the Mission, I think?). After that, Mike and Lac and I went to Badlands. Once inside Badlands I realized that the white elephant gift I received was no longer in my pocket. It must have fallen out while I was in the car, but I wasn't that attached to it anyhow. At Badlands I encountered Dean (who works at Moffitt Cafe), Paul M, and Doug. Rode Muni home. Tried getting food at King of Thai Noodle but they closed earlier than their posted hours—grrr. Erased an external hard drive in preparation for giving away or selling.
