Lisa: "I know it's true! I read it on a restaurant placemat"--The Simpsons
Puitak and Gordon came over and brought lunch.
Drove down to the lakeshore with the parents. (I don't usually accompany them.)
Dinner was the rest of the Chinese food.
"All kinds."
--The Narrow Margin
"You make me sick to my stomach!"
"Well, not in my sink."
--ibid.
I feel like I'm getting a cold.
Dinner was the rest of the fettucine.
Saw the DVD of Richard Fleischer's train thriller The Narrow Margin. That was quite a twist! (They should have taken a plane.)
"Angels are naked."
--La Boheme
Went to a Classical Music Meetup at a fancy townhouse on Sheppard Avenue. (I took the bus east from Downsview station.) We saw a Blu-Ray DVD of a production of Puccini's La Boheme by Madrid's Teatro Real, and had a big-screen set to see it on! Laura Giordano was a gorgeous Musetta!
Dinner was lobster rolls.
Went to bed early.
Dreamed of finding an underground civilization with a lower level of development and causing a civil war there; checking different TV channels around midnight Saturday; Dvorak's "Songs My Mother Taught Me"; Moira learning the Armenian language. [She knows German and Russian.]
Went to a Games Meetup at the Ryerson student centre. The weather was so hot that I wasn't up to bringing my own games, as I usually do. I only stayed for one game: a new one called Samurai.
On the way home, I picked up a new Japanese-English dictionary at Indigo Books.
Dinner was Chinese food.
Went to a Karaoke Meetup at Bar Plus. I only sang three songs. (My energy level wasn't high today.)
Headache.
We sold some of our used books in a yard sale, and made almost $100.
Dreamed of movies that were in release in the summer of 1987, like Full Metal Jacket.
Baked whole wheat bread.
I've moved all three of my cities in the computer game Glory of Rome from Moesia to Dalmatia in hope of being "farmed" less. Now my alliance has a central city to concentrate resources and reinforcements.
Dinner was an Indian buffet at the Regency Restaurant in Little India with the Social Anxiety Meetup.
I've misplaced my Japanese-English dictionary so I guess I'll have to buy a new one. (Oh well, the old one was in pieces.)
Dreamed of a thriller like Body Heat but with an even more complicated plot.
Went to see my shrink Dr. Hassan. Once again I got Father to drive me to the St. Clair subway station to make sure I'd be on time, but once again the doctor was a long while getting around to me anway. (When will I learn?)
In the computer game The Kings of Camelot three of my five cities now have a full twelve Level 10 wildernesses, leaving me to focus on raiding barbarian camps near them. And I've just figured out that for that purpose I may as well have archers alone.
Dinner was fettucine alfredo (which I cooked).
"It looks like a place where they'd film a Miss Marple"--ibid.
Dreamed of trying to explain Tom Swiftie jokes to Moira; mentioning that Elmore Leonard never uses adverbs (which is true).
Moira and I went to see Michael Winterbottom's The Trip at the Cumberland, with Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon improvising their way through a tour of inns in northern England. Lots of funny impersonations! (Too bad that the cinema's air conditioning made me sleepy.)
Dinner was salmon.
Went to a Classical Music Meetup at the Mad Bean Cafe. The letter was U and the subject was uncompleted works.
