December 5, 2010

Dreamed of watching the movie This Boy's Life on DVD; switching to the extras after reaching the scene where Robert de Niro gives Leo di Caprio a beating; being in Great Britain and not knowing when I was going to return home; wishing my Ph.D. thesis hadn't been a dead end; finding some DVDs from zip.ca that we hadn't seen, which got packed away.


    Last night I went to the Classical Music Meetup Christmas party. (I baked some gingerbread for it.) Some people from the Guitar Society of Toronto performed for us.


    Met Evghenia and Dave (from the Aspergers Meetup) at the latter's place on Ellsworth Avenue to play The Amazeing Labyrinth. (We played five games!


    Hope I'm not getting a cold...


    Dinner was stir-fry.

Rhoda's mother: "Can I ask you something?"

"What?"

"Don't go up there!"

--Rhoda


    Dreamed of reaching the end of my diary volume; Sammy Davis Jr. ordering cocktails but skipping the vodka martini.


    Went shopping.


    Dinner was samosas.


    Went to the last opera rehearsal before the new year.  I have my parts largely memorized.

Brenda: "Lenny, you promised no toe talk in front of strangers!"--Rhoda


    Dreamed of preparing to fly to Los Angeles; a tycoon's hard-pressed secretary about to give him a piece of her mind just as a group of old classmates came to visit.


    Dinner was tuna casserole. (Father tried a new recipe.)


    At choir practice we went through the Christmas program in order.

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!)

    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!)

    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.
