I got my passport back! I had to get extra pages added to my U.S. passport. The website says it can take up to six weeks, but I got mine back in under two. Sweet!
Today, I went to the Asian Art Museum and met Ala Ebtekar, a Berkeley-born Iranian hip-hop visual artist. We chatted a bit and he told me to Rose Market in Mountain View to get some real-deal koobideh as well as other staples like bastani (Persian ice cream). His art is sweet.
On the way home, I got library cards at the San Francisco Public Library and the Oakland Public Library, where I checked out Das Boot.
When I got home, I checked my mail and discovered that I randomly got sent a $42 check from AAA, thanking me for being a customer.
