June 9. 2004

"'I wonder if the Prodigal Son ever felt really at home again,' she thought"--The Blue Castle

"Why are rich women always flat chested?"--one of Millie's asides (shown in silent-movie titles)

Dreamed of having a mesh stuck in my mouth.

At the NDP campaign office I started drawing up contact sheets and did most of the sign locations.

Saw the DVD of George Roy Hill's Thoroughly Modern Millie, a 1967 Julie Andrews musical set in the Roaring Twenties.  It must have looked promising on paper, but the result is long, frantic and inept.

Dinner was fish fillets.

Moira and I watched a crack Royal Opera production of Mozart's The Magic Flute from Covent Garden.  The opera's a mess, but who cares? (It was broadcast on the CBC six months ago, and we finally got around to seeing it on tape.)
