Feeling horrible in the morning; hungover? I only
had two beers yesterday, spread apart such that
I hardly even felt high from their alcohol; yet a
harsh headache descended in the middle of the night,
waking me up; and in addition I have this
cold-sweaty feverish symptom. If everybody's
hangovers matched my own, I doubt
that there'd by many alcoholics.
Dinner at my uncle's was tasty. This is how my Filipino Aunt cooks sweet potatoes:
first they're par-boiled (whatever that means), then sliced into fat disks, which
are placed into a pan and broiled. The crowd was many older people, many distantly
related people, a few I actually recalled from the August do.
After eating, my Uncle and I retired to his rec room to shoot a couple games of pool,
both of which I lost, pathetically. Their somewhat compact (but hey, it's in the
City!) townhouse is in that "Parkside" district down in the SW quadrant
of San Francisco.
I just discovered and have been listening avidly
to the other San Francisco
public radio station, KALW. This morning I tuned
in to hear two voices I haven't heard since I
moved away from DC: the
Computer Guys! (They're
a monthly feature on WAMU). Two factoids gleaned
from today's show:
- Apple Computer is making money this year, their first non-red year since 1994
- Interest in Unix appears to be growing, if you look at sales of O'Reilly books. I suspect I'll be operating a PC running Linux in the near future
