September 5, 2011

    Dreamed of seeing an English church that raised a record amount of money selling flowers in World War II.


    Dinner was roast beef, somewhat undercooked. (I got a bit sick in the evening.)


    Saw the DVD of Fuel, a docummentary about a guy promoting ecofriendly biofuels.

September 4, 2011

    Dreamed of getting a new watch. (I need a new one.)


    Went to a Games Meetup at Jeffrey's house.  I played Incan Gold (won by one point!) and two new auction-type games called For Sale and Medici (finished last in both).


    Donald came over for dinner, which was Indian food.

September 3, 2011

    Saw the last Harry Potter movie at the Revue.  I liked the quieter non-action scenes best. (Those goblins were pretty cool.)


    Dinner was McDonald's.


    Saw the DVD of the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers musical The Barkleys of Broadway.  Pretty mild.

September 2, 2011

    Dreamed of the movie Kramer vs. Kramer (which I've seen); reflecting that whether you like that movie depends on whther you like Dustin Hoffman (true enough).


    Dinner was teriyaki chicken.


    Father went to Orchard Home Farms (without me this time) and brought back a nice bag of Gravensteins.


    Baked rye bread overnight.

President Clinton (romancing Marge): "You may feel that you aren't good enough for me, but I'm telling you right here--you are!"--The Simpsons


    Dreamed of a record album of war-related music; the Slade song "Run, Run Away."


    Went to the Canadian National Exhibition with the Asperger's Meetup group.  My lunch was Indian food.  Afterward I got a Midway pass. (My favourite ride is the bumper cars, of course.)


    Dinner was McDonald's.


    I was going to meet Carita in Dufferin Grove Park for the Musical Run-Through Meetup.  But I waited an hour and didn't meet her.


    Saw the DVD of the Errol Flynn movie The Dawn Patrol.  It's a bit stagey, but less gung ho than most air force movies.

    Went shopping.


    Finished my online application to Ontario Disability Support Payments, but it looks like I'll have to go there in person (to an address near Lawrence station).


    Went to Sheppard Grande and bought my tickets to the Met opera cinemacasts.  The first screening of La Traviata is in April, but it's already sold out!


    Dinner was sausage and mashed potatoes.


    Joined the Classical Music Meetup to see Mary Poppins yet again at the park next to Roy Thomson Hall.

Phyllis: "Rhoda, you're going to hear something that has to be said!... Mary?"--The Mary Tyler Moore Show


    Dreamed of the South Pacific song "Younger Than Springtime."


    Dinner was vegetable stew. (I sneaked out to Harvey's afterward.)
