September 8, 2010

    Baked rye bread.


    Went shopping.


    Dinner was turkey pie.


    Went to the Games Meetup.  I played The Amazeing Labyrinth (twice) and Smallworld, where my races were berserk halflings and fortified tritons.  Someone brought a game he'd created on his own, involving Marvel Comics superheroes and supervillains, but it was too complicated for me.

"Who are you?"

"I'm nobody..."

--The Jewel in the Crown

"We're fighting because you're a moron.  That's why we're fighting!"--Curb Your Enthusiasm


    Dreamed of the 1978 movie of Harold Robbins' potboiler The Betsy (which I haven't seen); visiting a museum with exhibits about the French Revolution.


    Got my hair cut at the Hungarian place.


    Went to the Sheppard Grande and bought tickets for six upcoming Metropolitan Opera cinemacasts.


    Dinner was felafels.


    Saw the DVD of the first episode of The Jewel in the Crown (for the third time). Unusually intelligent.


    Then we saw the DVD of the first episodes of the latest season of Curb Your Enthusiasm.  What an antihero!

September 6, 2010

    Dreamed of having my own apartment in Halifax.


    I was going to go to the CNE with the Aspergers Meetup, but they changed the meeting time from noon to 11:00, and that was too early for me.


    Dinner was turkey.


    Saw the DVD of Paul Cox' The Diaries of Vaslav Nijinsky, documenting his slide into insanity.


    I've broken 50,000 a few times in the Train video game! [I also figured out how to put the train on a closed loop and get an infinite score...]

September 5, 2010

    Dreamed of seeing a movie that combined Ghost with The Sixth Sense; a DVD with a menu so huge that I couldn't figure out where to start it.


    Went to a Walking Meetup.  We walked around the Music Garden and the Irish Memorial and saw some of the CNE air show.


    Dinner was leftover fettucine and lasagna (which we'd had in the freezer!).

September 4, 2010

    Dreamed of Marvin Gaye's "Ain't That Peculiar"; a letter to an advice columnist from a man whose ex had taken up with a bigot, who often did yard work at the bigot's place on weekends to be near his kids, and often heard abusive language; a non-existent scene in The Princess Bride with the man speaking while we only see the woman's tearful reaction, through a mirror.


    Went to an Art Meetup at the Gladstone Hotel.  We looked at an exhibit of art by the mentally ill then went to the restaurant, where I ate eggs benedict.


    Dinner was curried scallops.


    The cool weather has arrived!


    Went to a Games Meetup (new group) at the Runnymede Starbuck's.  I played Settles of Catan and Ticket to Ride.

September 3, 2010

    Dreamed of Mendelsohn's "Spring Song."


    Dinner was McDonald's.


    Added over eighty historical documentary DVDs to our queue at zip.ca.

September 2, 2010

"He can peel a potato at fifty yards just by hating it!"--Kung Fu


    Dreamed of being unable to figure out a textbook of really advanced biological mathematics.


    Baked multigrain bread.


    Dinner was pasta salad. (I wasn't hungry enough to find more to eat.)


    I was going to attend a cello concert with the Classical Music Meetup group, but it rained.


    Saw the DVD of the first episode of the Terry Jones history series Barbarians.  I learned a lot of new stuff about the Celts.
