August 7, 2004

A singer gets evaluated: "Except for the voice and the gestures, everything was perfect"--Quai des Orfevres

Dreamed of news reports of the death of JFK's father Joseph Kennedy; the song "Old Man River"; Father running for public office.

Went to a Geneva Centre group picnic on the Toronto Islands.  I got to take home the leftover sandwiches!

Finished David Foster Wallace's Everything and More.  I remembered why I didn't continue in mathematics.

Started reading Centenary at Jalna.

Dinner was McDonald's.

Saw Henri-Georges Clouzot's Quai des Orfevres at the Cinematheque. (I think the title refers to the French equivalent of Scotland Yard.) It's a terrific thriller about a murder and the subsequent police investigation.  Some great dialogue.
