"The best way to find a needle in a haystack: burn the haystack"--Oz
And so to the New Year. My resolution is to do sit-ups every day. (That and maybe get out of bed earlier.) I plan to do it twice a day, so even when I weaken I'll do it once. [Didn't last long.]
Dreamed of playing Monopoly; a book about early fur trader Etienne Brule trying to start a colony in the future Ontario; entering a British railway station and not knowing which train to take; entering one train and seeing passengers in straitjackets; going to an opera (Billy Budd, which I've never seen) with my brother John, but being unable to find our tickets.
Read some Johnny Hazard adventures in my Menomonee Falls Gazette collection. (Frank Robbins was a clever writer, and an efficient artist.) I also started reading a Dragon Lady Press reprint of the superb Secret Agent X-9, one of several I bought in the post-Christmas sale at Dragon Lady Comics.
Saw Taylor Hackford's bio Ray at the Paradise. Unsubtle drama but great Ray Charles music. It was so long that I was late getting home for dinner, which was scalloped potatoes and ham.
Saw another episode of the prison drama Oz (I'm watching the whole second season on DVD). LL Cool J played a prisoner who claimed he'd sold crack to the state's loathsome governor.
