July 1, 2004

Dreamed of a comic strip involving a powerful dagger (like Philip Pullman's Subtle Knife); wondering about the connection between religion and sports, and noticing that the Mormons promote sports participation;  entering the top half of a double-decker Routemaster bus, with an inadequate numbers of stools instead of regular seats; recalling an actual article in Maclean's magazine on sex expert Sue Johanson in which she cited the myth that "nice girls don't carry condoms";  looking in a mirror and seeing that I had a beard and long hair going gray.

I'm still watching Six Feet Under on rented videocassettes. It looks like we'll be buying a new DVD player.

Dinner was McDonald's.

Saw Michelangelo Antonioni's Zabriskie Point at the Cinematheque (for the second time). It's an unintentionally funny movie about 1960s radical youth, top-heavy with "relevance." The highlight was America blowing up at the end.  At least Antonioni's visual compositions are always interesting.
