At the local Barnes and Noble, I came across a gadget that let customers sample any CD in the store by swiping the barcode reader with the CD of choice. My initial reaction was "cool!"; I was lulled into believing that I can listen to any CD and everything on it. Too good to be true: 30 second clips; not every track was available. The reality made more sense than the fantasy of having a celestial jukebox at the local bookseller. Even though I could listen to more music than before, I was still disappointed that I could not listen to everything that I wanted to.

Driving a car in Berkeley demands that I get pretty good at parallel parking. This morning, I was particularly proud of my parking. (I know that I'm being silly boasting about parking....)
Miyazaki retrospective at the PFA
I'm grateful that some friends, Laura, and I will be able to see at least one film this coming Sunday in the retrospective.. Tickets have sold out quickly!
Anyone tried the Adagia Restaurant yet?
A friend mentioned the restaurant to me yesterday, wondering whether I had eaten there. Surprisingly, I've not eaten there -- even though I was on the board of Westminster House when we approved proposals for what ultimately became the Adagia Restaurant.
Laura and I have been married a month now!
The one-month date of Laura's and my wedding was reinforced to me when I filled in the date for today's parking permit.
