Spent some time today with a good friend from college. This is someone whom I have not seen since 2001, and whose company I rather enjoy: not an ex-girlfriend, but a very good friend of, actually, two exes. We met freshman year of college and during their sophomore year, their room became something of a second-room for me since they lived closer to the college entrance than I did. So I'd come back from class at 3:00, go to their room and fall asleep on their futon, wake up for dinner, and then do work. It was a wonderful system, and it got me plenty of sleep. I am a firm believer in the mid-afternoon nap. If you ask me, the Spanish siesta is the way to go. Annie's a med student at UCSF and it was a pleasure to see her. She insisted on paying for lunch, which was silly, so I bought dessert: a coconut mousse over mocha mousse cup for her, and a cheesecake mousse with a delightful bitter chocolate dusting for me. Outstanding.

For the record, Annie is not a bad driver. Most of the time. :P
