"Where's the boy?"
"Dodger's minding him.  They're as close as Cain and Abel!"--Oliver Twist

Dreamed of wanting to look through a large collection of documents John had accumulated; considering how to translate Robert Burns' "To a Field Mouse" into Chinese and Japanese.

Saw the DVD of the screwball comedy My Favorite Wife.  That's the one where Cary Grant's wife has been lost at sea for seven years and returns just after he's married someone else.  Grant could do awkwardness like nobody! (There was also the Robert Benchley short Home Movies.)

Baked raisin bread.

Dinner was McDonald's.

Saw Roman Polanski's Oliver Twist at the Paradise.  The umpteenth adaptation of the Dickens book, it's familiar but not boring:  some scenes are quite frightening.
