Dreamed of rehearsing the operas I'm in; recalling the scene in David Lean's movie Oliver Twist where Bill Sikes murders Nancy, with a shot of his dog clawing against the door trying to leave.
Subscribed to the New York Times online crossword puzzles. Now Moira won't have to go out Saturday mornings and buy the paper for its Saturday crossword. [We still get it today--it's the only part of the paper worth paying for!]
Saw Yasujiro Ozu's silent Where Now Are the Dreams of Youth? about a young man who inherits his father's company and hires his old college buddies. The subway was closed down at St. Clair West station because of some accident (I saw the fire engine), so I had to take a detour and barely got to the movie on time.
Finished the Roald Dahl book Matilda and lent it to Puitak, who I think will like it. (Nice that she lives around the corner from the Cinematheque where I saw the Ozu movie.)
Dinner was fettucine in pesto sauce (which I cooked).
Went to the play The Sea Horse at the new Club Theater, connected to the acting school The Actors Workshop. It was quite good, with solid performances from the two actors.
