November 28, 2010

    Performed in the Toronto City Opera fundraiser, for which I'd baked gingerbread.  To my surprise, almost all the food got eaten and there were no leftovers to take home!


    John and Kathrine came over for dinner, which was Indian food. (But we forgot to make rice!)

November 27, 2010

    Dreamed of procrastinating in April; a skit on the children's TV show The Electric Company that culminated in an armed robbery.


    Snow on the ground this morning!


    Had lunch at What a Bagel with the Introvert Meetup. (I ordered a Swiss cheese omelet.)


    Dinner was McDonald's.


    Went to karaoke at Barplus again, this time with another Introvert Meetup.

November 26, 2016

    Dreamed of the top part of my penis falling off; the Mark Twain novel The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson.


    Baked multigrain bread.


    Headache!


    Dinner was roast chicken.


    Baked gingerbread for Sunday's Toronto City Opera fundraiser. (For some reason it fell after I took it out!)

November 25, 2010

    Dinner was sausage and mashed potatoes.


    Went to an Aspergers Meetup at Neisau's place.  We played The Amazeing Labyrinth again, then I introduced the others to Ticket to Ride.

November 24, 2010

    Dreamed of Vincent Canby's The New York Times review of Heaven's Gate, which called it "an unqualified disaster."


    Went shopping.


    Dinner was tortellini.


    Went to the Games Meetup.  I played Revolution (a new game), Mille Bornes (a new card game about auto racing), and Ticket to Ride.  I would have left a bit early but I had to wait till some others were finished with my Smallworld game.

Rhoda: "Ma, you're not 'with it.' You're without it!"--The Mary Tyler Moore Show

Ted: "I make it anonymous (he meant 'unanimous')--ibid.


    I've widened my Farmville property and now have a combined harvester-tractor-seeder that'll work nine mini-plots at once!


    It's cold enough to start wearing long johns.


    Dinner was the rest of the pasta and stuff.


    At opera rehearsal we went through the program for Sunday's fundraiser.


    Started reading the city issue of Lapham's Quarterly.

"My name is... Miss Rhoda Morgenstern"--The Mary Tyler Moore Show


    Last night Donald came over for dinner, which was churrasco chicken.


    Saw the DVD of the first episode of The War That Made America, a PBS series dramatizing the French and Indian War.  Didn't care for the present-tense narration and the talking head scenes.


    Dinner was fettucine alfredo (which I cooked).


    At choir practice we're now working on the Christmas concert. (This year we're doing Jingle Bells.)


    Finished The Lexicon of Musical Invective.
