December 5, 2003

Dreamed of returning to the Sackville house from P.E.I. in a van with a large group of people, including Donald; being about to leave the Sackville house for the last time [the last time was actually back in 1996]; seeing part of a romantic comedy from the late 1950s or early 1960s with Debbie Reynolds on TV; trying to figure out the title; a movie about a man masquerading as a woman.

Went and got the second volume of The Cartoon History of the Universe. (It's that good!)

Dinner was steak.

Saw the program "How to Be Eccentric" at the Cinematheque.  It was a series of mostly instructional shorts, created by Richard Massingham for British cinema in the 1940s, covering subjects like reminding people to use handkerchiefs when they sneezed.  It was kinda droll, in an oh-so-British way.

When I went online in the afternoon, it "choked" twice, so both times I had to turn the power off without going through the shutdown process, and start again.  We'll have to replace the computer soon. (It's nine years old!)
