Breakfast at home with Patrick: multigrain pancakes from a milk carton, sausage patty, Café Bustelo. Tightened loose handles on kitchen cabinets. Troubleshot macOS Sierra 10.12.6 freezing issues and failed to find a solution. I discovered EtreCheck along the way, but it did not provide anything illuminating in my case. Rode Muni with Patrick to the Castro. We tried to get beverages at Philz but all the seats were taken so we went to Spike's which was pretty empty. We read from paper books. Afterwards we lunched at Thai House Express: chicken kee mao and thai iced tea for Patrick, thai house beef with rice and hot tea for me. Got a few groceries at Buffalo Grocery. Stopped at Castro Fountain for a small (two scoops) of red velvet ice cream. Rode Muni to West Portal Station. Stopped at the library to set up my account anew after not having used it for a long time. Rode Muni home with Patrick. Nap. Dinner at home with Patrick: tacos with fixins. Finished watching Atomic Blonde (2017) on Netflix DVD with Patrick. Incredibly long and intricate hand-to-hand combat scenes, with a fair amount of enjoyable humor thrown in here and there. We both liked the music, but I thought it was out of place in some scenes. I disliked the spray-painted interstitials, which seemed low-budget to me. Highly recommended if you don't mind blood.
