Went to the OHIP office to speak to them about my health card. They promised to send it for real, and gave me a document I can use in its place. To my surprise, I didn't have to wait.
Dinner was roast chicken.
Saw Bill Condon's bio Kinsey at the Paradise. (I had to see it because Dr. Laura was boycotting it!) Alfred Kinsey was a pioneering sex researcher but also a royal kook. The movie's remarkable food for thought.
Then I went to the Bloor for a special screening, presented by the horror magazine Rue Morgue, of Mark of the Devil, an extremely cheap 1971 horror opus about witch hunts in the early 18th century. It was a real dog, with bad dubbing and bland program music, and I left in the middle.
Before the movie started they had a 1970s horror movie trivia quiz, which I won! (I correctly guessed that the Jaws ripoff that was the top-grossing independent release of 1976 was Grizzly.) They gave me a toy figure of Creech, a monster created by Todd McFarlane of Spawn fame.
