"Why are all the Sartres born on the other side?" "You like him?" "No, but I don't want him as an enemy"--The Battle of Algiers

Dreamed of getting up in the morning and having nothing to wear because all my clothes were in the wash; the scene in Six Feet Under where Nate saw on public display a candid photo his girlfriend's crazy brother had taken of him peeing against a wall while he was out jogging, making him angry.

Went to the Japanese Canadian Students Association.  I recited a couple of poems I'd translated into Japanese.

Dinner was McDonald's.

Saw Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers (for the second time) at the Cinematheque.  It's a masterpiece, gripping and intelligent.
