"'Wantin' takes too much time,' Deets said. 'I'd rather be working'"--Lonesome Dove
"Poets always hate those in power.... To them perfection is always just behind the last corner or just beyond the next"--Conan the Barbarian
Dreamed of being stuck in the sitcom Friends (which I've never watched) [and still haven't!]; accidentally dropping my shoes off a high building; a movie with Robert Mitchum walking in a full circle around my Sackville hometown; seeing the beach near our Sackville cottage, but with reefs (there were none).
Went to a comics sale at a house in North York. I bought four, including a Conan the Barbarian.
Dinner was pizza.
Saw a movie version of Huckleberry Finn with Mickey Rooney and Rex Ingram. It was totally different from the book, and not for the better.
Saw Island of Lost Souls, a 1930s sci-fi creepfest about a mad scientist (witty Charles Laughton) populating an island with mutants, from an H.G. Wells story. One senses a metaphor for imperialism.
