On the 1977 movie Welcome to L.A.: "People stare at one another so much that eventually one gets the uneasy feeling that Michelangelo Antonioni is behind the camera. Once again Geraldine Chaplin is made to look ridiculous and pathetic, and over and over again we are reminded that puritanism has lost the battle and that folks are pretty promiscuous these days"--Film Flam
"Drug abusers?" "What a disgusting term! Dope fiends is the name, dope fiends!"--Dick Tracy
Dreamed of being in London with Father, who hadn't planned on going; getting a life-size action figure of a boy superhero.
Got three issues of a Dick Tracy magazine reprinting episodes from 1971 and 1972 (when I was reading it first-run).
Checked our ABE Books list and considered posting some of them on Ebay. I think I'll try some of the children's books. There may be a market for the Tom Swift Jr. books. [There wasn't.]
Dinner was roast chicken.
Went to a choir rehearsal for the mass on Sunday. I brought a bag of cherries, which didn't take long to disappear.
I remember the Dick Tracy stories I'm rereading now! In the first one Lizz got put in a trunked and almost got dumped in a lake, where they found a skeleton that connected them to the Dope King. In the second one B.O. Plenty's wife Gravel Gertie turned out to have a treasure map tattooed onto her scalp(?)
