January 13, 2005


Dreamed of entering the Mount Allison University library and hearing a military band;  looking at the table of contents of a collection of horror stories from ca. 1950; playing the Dmitri Kabalevsky piano piece "Dance on the Lawn."

Unusually warm weather.

Went to Chapters and bought the novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, about a hero with Asperger's Syndrome.  I also got Lynn Truss' grammar book Eats, Shoots and Leaves.

Saw the last of the third season of South Park on DVD.  The joke is old.

At the Geneva Centre there was a CBC camera filming another documentary on Dan Kelsey.  I kept pretty quiet.

Saw the anime classic Akira at the Royal. (I left the Geneva Centre meeting early to be on time for it.) Stunning and visionary, it's about teenage punks in a futuristic Tokyo who stumble on mysterious powers, but that hardly begins to describe it....  Too bad it was a dubbed print.
