Dreamed of building a fire in the fireplace of our Sackville home; visiting New York City as part of a tour group; losing my pants on a train to Mississauga.
Dinner was KFC.
Saw Chris Marker's famous La Jetee at the Cinematheque. It's a science fiction photomontage (almost no live action, just a series of stills with sound and narration) about a survivor of World War III forced into a series of experiments where he travels into the past and the future. Very odd.
There was also the documentary Remembrance of Things to Come, a photomontage based on the work of Denise Bellon, a French photojournalist in the late 1930s who was close to the surrealist movement. Quite interesting.
Finished reading Melvyn Bragg's The Adventure of English.
Read the chapter in A Cartoon History of the Universe about the Crusades and the Mongols.
