Breakfast: peanut-butter granola with fresh, sliced banana; hot water. Rode Muni to UCSF Laurel Heights. Web edits: removing Melanie D's contact info and adding Lillian S's and Lily Y's. Funding content type build with Eric. We got everything built and tried putting in the pie chart but it just wouldn't work, gave up for now. Lunch at Artesano. An unpriced, sidewalk chalkboard special of wild grilled shrimp drew me in, but it turned out to be $17 and on the standard menu as well, and I thought that was too much money to spend for a lunch, so instead I ate the ají de gallina: "a classic peruvian stew: juicy shredded chicken stewed in a rich and hearty sauce of aji amarillos (peruvian yellow chiles), onions, and garlic, served over rice and garnished with traditional favorites—marinated onions, walnuts, and hard-cooked egg;" water: $11.99 before tax and tip. I liked it. Updated the OSACA staff listing on the web following Shirin's departure. Notified OSACA staff how to resolve the fuzzy text printing problem: choose a higher res in print settings and/or printing preferences. Dinner at Tonga Room with Drew, Romy, and Phil. (Danny is still on vacation in Vietnam.) Fun live music, mostly from the 1970s, by The Island Groove. PDR dropped me off at Market Street. Walked to Van Ness Station. Rode Muni to Castro Street Station. Walked around the Castro because it was 20 minutes until the next L train. Watched some buskers play classical music in front of Cliff's, gave them $2. Rode Muni home. I didn't ride my bike all this week because of the brief cold and because last week I had an unfortunate incident with a rude and ignorant driver and his yappy passenger that has discouraged me from riding.
