Dreamed of waking up and seeing on my clock radio that the time was just before 8:00; visiting Finland and wading through an icy flood up to my chest (for no reason); the children's book Emil and the Detectives (which I reread last year).
Saw Kevin Costner's Open Range at the Uptown (on a nice big screen). It was a beautifully-filmed but conventional western, not unlike Costner's Wyatt Earp. Costar Robert Duvall outacted Costner, like Dennis Quaid did in Wyatt Earp. (I saw the movie mostly for Duvall.) Annette Bening had yet another thankless role: she and Costner didn't have much chemistry. The climax was marred by villain Michael Gambon's Yosemite Sam speech.
Dinner was fettucine.
The Goodenough Association had a get-together at Queens Quay. I didn't stay long because I didn't meet anyone I knew.
Read Bill Bryson's African Diary, a 50-page book about his tour of Kenya, sponsored by CARE.
At karaoke I sang "Hungry Like the Wolf (afterward Doug H. showed me a picture of a wolf he happened to be carrying!) and "Say, Say, Say."
