Dreamed of a portable radio that also had an internet connection(?); trying to play Macbeth.
Finally got the January diary entries printed.
We did the May accounts for the book business. Income is predictably off from the peak by now.
Father bought a whole pack of green-ink pens. I thought they'd stopped making them!
Stuffed envelopes at the NDP campaign HQ. Then I did another leaflet drop.
Bought a couple of British comic annuals over the web. I also bought In a Narrow Grave, a book of Larry McMurtry essays on Texas, for quite a low price.
Dinner was spaghetti.
Saw two movies starring Anna May Wong at the Cinematheque. Toll of the Sea was a silent, and one of the first color movies. (They could only show reds and greens.) The story was a thin Madama Butterfly retread.
Daughter of Shanghai was an uproarious 1930s B-movie about catching gangsters smuggling aliens into the USA.
Stayed to see Jacques Tourneur's Out of the Past, one of the greatest film noirs ever. It was the fourth time I've seen it, but I still haven't figured it all out.
