"'If I'd have wanted civilization I'd have stayed in Tennessee and wrote poetry for a living,' Augustus said. 'Me and you done our work too well.  We killed off most of the people that made this country interesting to begin with'"--Lonesome Dove

Father wrote me a cheque for $2500! (It's the season for giving.)

Went to the dance studio to see if I can get a ticket for their Christmas party next week, but supplies are limited and I'll have to wait and see.

Dinner was roast chicken and the rest of the lasagna.

Saw F.W. Murnau's Faust at the Cinematheque (for the second time). A crazy silent masterpiece, though I had to wonder how close it was to the book.
