August 25, 2004

A parent to teenagers going off on a date: "Be good.  And if you can't be good, be careful"--All or Nothing (but she got pregnant anyway)

Baked white bread overnight.

Dreamed of having a cameo in a series of four unpleasant Wagnerian operas as a bedridden invalid; being unable to turn off a stereo radio in my room; reading British comic annuals; returning from the operas on the London subway, still unable to sit up; the 1970s sitcom One Day at a Time.

Got a Sunday comics section from 1966.

Dinner was fettucine in pesto sauce (which I cooked).

Registered for continuing education courses in drama, creative writing and dancing.

Saw the video of Mike Leigh's All or Nothing. (I'm not quite sure what the title means.) It's a Leigh-style "slice of life" drama about people living on a London housing estate.  Interesting but kinda bleak.  Mother said Timothy Spall looks like he's seen a ghost!
