Monday brought with it a quick reality check that shorts, while en vogue at Stanford for most of this month, aren't the best choice for San Francisco, which somehow manages to be 10-20 degrees cooler than the South Bay most days. Ah well.
Tuesday I bid farewell to another Berlin-bound traveler. We ended up going to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which was amazingly good for a Jim Carrey movie. The ending in particular had special relevance for me. <philosophical>Say you're wandering in the woods and see an intriguing path, lined with flowers, trees, and...well, whatever other nifty things you'd find in the woods. But you know it's a dead end. Do you still walk down it? It could be a really cool trail. Is it worthwhile to take such a detour even if you know it won't go anywhere? Or do you avoid that risk and opt not to explore?</philosophical>
Wednesday was quite possibly the most entertaining Wal-Mart run I've ever made. We got plenty of dirty looks I'm sure from shoppers who think Wal-Mart ought to be taken more seriously. But hula hooping in the toy department was worth it. Alas, I missed out on karaoke that night because I made dinner plans three hours in advance. Sadness...but we still made pretty good yakimeshi.
