"I almost feel sorry for him."
"Don't. If you're ever in a nuclear attack, stand next to Gary Blondo. He's a survivor!"--Murder One
We picked apples at Orchard Home Farm. (They were all out of Golden Delicious, but we got Jonagold and Mutsu.)
After we got home I had an afternoon nap.
Dinner was primavera.
Went out to 2Q and rented the DVD of the Jack Lemmon-Judy Holliday divorce comedy Phffft! There was a funny mambo scene. [I also liked Kim Novak's cheerleader routine.]
Saw the DVD of the last episodes of the first season of Murder One. (I had a theory that Francesca did it.) Quite enjoyable, and Louis the gay secretary was cool!
Dinner was spaghetti.
The Toronto City Opera had an acting class with David Roche and Tita Griffin. (First Giovanni gave us a lesson in pronouncing Italian.) I decided that in Lucia di Lamermoor I'm an impoverished cousin who dresses well and keeps up appearances on big occasions; in The Merry Widow I'm a Belgian who goes to parties to meet girls.
Dreamed of a reprint of a 1980s episode of Steve Canyon.
Went shopping. (I met Oksana from Coro Verdi in the supermarket.)
Dinner was ham quiche.
At opera rehearsal Barbara and David Roche took our measurements.
Dreamed of visiting Halifax; being sorry I'd left Toronto; hearing a group putting on an opera in English; an article about Nazi leader Joachim von Ribbentrop.
Moira returned from Chicago. (The weather was so hot that she ended up quitting the marathon!)
John and family came over for dinner, which was Thai food. (Kathrine made us a pumpkin pie.)
We ate at Swiss Chalet.
Saw the DVD of Ida Lupino's film noir The Hitch-Hiker. It grabs one's attention and doesn't let go. (Remind me not to travel in Mexico...)
Last night I went to a Karaoke Meetup at the Sports Centre Bar. It gave me sensory overload, and I only stayed for two songs, including Gerry and the Pacemakers' "It's Gonna Be All Right."
Today I went to an Asperger's Meetup in High Park. We met at Cafe Novo and went for a walk. (The weather was perfect!) Bev brought her dog Lily, who was entertainingly energetic. Evghenia brought her boyfriend and they spent a lot of time cuddling, so I didn't get home till 18:00.
Dinner was salmon. (The potatoes were riced with a gadget we got from Publishers Clearing House.)
Tonight I went to another Karaoke Meetup, this time at Bar Plus. There were fewer people than usual, and I got to sing over half a dozen songs!
In the morning Moira and I went to Scotiabank, where I arranged for my G.I.C. to be transferred to her ownership. (Afterward I voted in the election.)
Dinner was scalloped potatoes and ham.
In the evening I went to the St. Paul's NDP election night party at Boccone's. (I'm sorry my cold prevented me from doing much for their campaign.)
