Daniel Day-Lewis (evaluating a newly built suburban house) "This isn't a home!  It's a place to keep a TV set dry!"--The Ballad of Jack and Rose

Dreamed of spreading a huge amount of honey on a single slice of bread.

Saw Rebecca Miller's The Ballad of Jack and Rose at the Paradise.  It's a fine character study.

Dinner was chicken curry.

Went to a Games Linkup in an aparment southeast of Bloor and Sherbourne.  There were ten people there!  We played Balderdash, Apples to Apples (which I brought) and Wizard, a trump game with a deck of cards including four wizards (which always win) and four jesters (which always lose). In the auction stage you guess how many tricks you'll win, and the challenge is to win that exact number, neither more nor less, an interesting strategic challenge.
