June 21, 2003

Dreamed of seeing British comic annuals in a library; reading about a cinema in Memramcook (an actual village near Moncton, too small for a cinema); seeing a clip from the Joan Crawford western Johnny Guitar; driving through East Memramcook and seeing a conflagration; seeing a clip from the third Indiana Jones movie [which I still haven't seen!] with Jim Broadbent, Vincent Schiavelli and 1940s British actor Marius Goering (I don't think any of them were in it); seeing a movie ending with Denzel Washington visiting his late mentor's home, getting drunk, and a surreal moment where he thinks he's talking to him on the phone.

Got up at 9:56.

I'm still down about being criticized at the dance party.

Went out to Canadian Tire to check the thermostats.

Got the lawn mowed again.

Dinner was chicken (which I fried).

Went to see the last of the Cinematheque's Marlene Dietrich movies:  Josef Von Sternberg's Catherine the Great bio The Scarlet Empress (for the second time). It's a really crazy movie, a lot like Erich Von Stroheim's silents.
