Dreamed of actor Montgomery Clift in politics.
Last night at opera rehearsal we finally started the Marriage of Figaro choruses. (I like the all-female one.)
Went shopping. (For the first time this year I heard Christmas Muzak--urrgh!)
Dinner was fettucine with pesto (which I cooked).
Went to a History Meetup at the Golden Griddle. We saw two new-agey National Film Board documentaries about earth goddesses and witch-hunting.
At today's singing lesson Giuseppe suggested four arias for me to consider learning. (He thinks Hemingway was gay.)
Dinner was stuffed sole.
We had a second La Traviata dress rehearsal. Igor couldn't make it, so Giuseppe sang his part instead. He still has a good voice!
--A Farewell to Arms
"Take it from me--marriage isn't a word, it's a sentence!"--The Crowd
Went bowling with the Introverts Meetup group at Danforth Bowl near Coxwell station. I got three strikes!
Saw King Vidor's silent classic The Crowd (for the third time) at the Cinematheque.
Started reading Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms.
The Coro Verdi did the first of two La Traviata dress rehearsals at the Villa Colombo, with a piano in serious need of tuning.
Baked whole wheat bread overnight.
Baked another pumpkin pie in the afternoon. (The rest of the pumpkin went bad--I should have put it in the basement refrigerator!--so I used canned pumpkin instead.)
Dinner was Thai food.
Went to a Games Meetup at Mary's place. I played Scrabble and Ticket to Ride, and between them sat around for a while waiting for a new game.
Dreamed of being in hiding in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia; looking for anachronistic details to confirm that this was a later re-enactment of the time.
Went to Deer Park library and borrowed Roald Dahl's Danny, Champion of the World.
Dinner was roast chicken.
Went to a new Aspergers Meetup at the Kingsway Starbucks. There were four people there.
Finished watching I, Claudius. Really brilliant.
Went shopping.
Dinner was curried pork.
Went to a Games Meetup at 401 Games. I played Ticket to Ride (the original version with a U.S. map), Agricola and Carcassone. In my second Agricola game my score rose from 10 to 11 points.
Dreamed of being about to be in a graduation ceremony and realizing I was wearing a turtleneck instead of a suit.
Met my shrink Dr. Hassan.
Dinner was salmon.
At opera rehearsal we did the rest of Pagliacci. (We would have done our Marriage of Figaro chorus but the scores weren't ready.)
