Dreamed of going home on a long commute; wondering if I should move out to increase my independence.
Another dance lesson. Sue, an old instructor who left in September, is back.
Dinner was salmon (which I fried).
Saw two Carl Dreyer movies. Day of Wrath was a really stunning movie, set in the good old days when they burnt witches at the stake. It was an incredibly sexy movie despite having no nudity and only a couple of kisses. Dreyer clearly influenced Ingmar Bergman.
The second movie was Leaves From Satan's Book, Dreyer's answer to D.W. Griffiths' epic Intolerance. It was about the Devil's machinations throught the ages, including the arrest of Jesus, the Spanish Inquisition and the Reign of Terror. The last story was the goofiest: Finns in 1918 fighting the evil Soviets. A Russian commissar recited "the Red Catechism" and a young heroine saved the day with a hand grenade.
Read 48 pages Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
