Today we did go to Orchard Home Farm, but the Gravenstein apples won't be ripe for another ten days. We did get some Ginger Golds.
Baked white bread.
Dinner was corn on the cob, which we bought at Gillespie's near Orchard Home Farm. Sweet!
Went to another classroom films show at the Trash Palace. I bought my ticket through a Meetup group. (The place was sold out!)
"Two words: Get over it!"--Mystery Science Theatre 3000
Got up early because we were going to Orchard Home Farm. But Mother didn't feel like it, so we decided to go tomorrow.
I went back to bed, and stayed there six hours!
Dinner was McDonald's.
Saw the DVD of the Mystery Science Theatre 3000 version of Tormented.
Chief Wiggum (punishing some childen): "Let this be a lesson to you: kids never learn!"--The Simpsons
Dreamed of forgetting that my Ph.D. thesis had passed; sunny weather changing to rain really quickly.
Went shopping.
Went to the Loblaw's superstore near St. Clair & Bathurst to inquire about renting a room for the Musical Run-Through Meetup. Then I went to Wychwood Library and borrowed the illustrated guide to Mount Pleasant Cemetery.
Dinner was African stew.
Went to the NDP nomination meeting for the provincial election. (Afterward I picked up a few more clearance-priced books at Book City.)
"Like a graveyard"
--Attack!
On a group of German POWs: "The mean one's the captain. Just like in any army"--ibid.
Dreamed of a movie about the destruction of a bridge off the northern coast of Jutland in Denmark, with Angelina playing a Nazi in jodhpurs and riding boots.
Dinner was curried shrimp.
Saw the DVD of Robert Aldrich's Attack! It's one of the better 1950s war movies, gripping and straightforward. (The ending was a bit ambiguous.) Jack Palance and Lee Marvin came from the age of Real Men!
Went to Evgenia's apartment for an Asperger's Meetup, but there was nobody there.
My Metropass for August got lost in the mail. Today I finally got around to going to Davisville station, where they gave me a replacement.
Dinner was linguini pesto (which I cooked).
I was going to participate in a Ticket to Ride tournament at Snakes and Lattes--even brought my game set--but I was 20 minutes late and the tournament was already full! (I should have asked Father to drive me there, but he'd already driven me in th morning.) Moira's been having a bad day too.
Saw the DVD of the 2003 revival of Thornton Wilder's Our Town, with Paul Newman as the narrator. It gets pretty sad.
"Is it being unable to see that makes you weary of life?"
"No, being able to hear."
--Kung Fu
Marge: "I never realized history was so filthy!"--The Simpsons
Went to a Games Meetup at the Yellow Griffin. I played Kill Mister Lucky (sort of a prequel to Clue) and Guillotine (where I tied for first).
On the way home, I travelled on one of the new subway trains that aren't divided into cars. When the train's route curves, you can look toward the other end and see it bend!
Dinner was ham quiche.
Saw the DVD of "Besieged," a double episode of Kung Fu set entirely in China, guest-starring David Carradine's real-life girlfriend Barbara Hershey. (It's one of the episodes from the third season, which I hardly saw at all back at the time.)
"Talk to the wind, Chinaman!"--Kung Fu
Homer: "They did it that way because they're stupid! That's why everybody does everything"--The Simpsons
Went to an Asperger's Meetup at the Tim Horton's east of Yonge & Bloor. They talked about the summer autism retreat a couple of them went to. (Should I go next year?) [I didn't.]
Dinner was tortellini.
