"She took life with a deadly seriousness: she was prepared to cause any amount of unhappiness to anyone in order to defend the only thing she believed in"--Brighton Rock
Dreamed of spending New Year's Eve in London; going to a sale of someone's old records and his mother's maps from the 1950s; offering ten pounds for the maps, as a joke because everyone knew they were worth far more; going through our Classics Illustrated comics and finding Victor Hugo's The Man Who Laughs (which we lost long ago); travelling through southeastern England in a tour bus; driving to the top of a hill with countryside visible for miles around, then over a cliff; asking someone in the hilltop visitor's centre if you could see the Valley of the White Horse (the district Thomas Hughes wrote about in Tom Brown's School Days).
Went to Paradise Comics and bought several old Classics Illustrated comics.
Dinner was Jamaican food.
Tonight we did a run-through of Don Giovanni. I was a few minutes late because I had to wait 15 minutes for a bus. There are only a few chorus numbers, so most of us spent most of the time waiting around, which wasn't as fun. (We're still in the cafeteria.)
