November 18, 2005

"And the tune he played made Lucy want to laugh and cry and dance and go to sleep all at the same time"--The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Dreamed of recalling an actual CBC news report on Canada's prison system in which someone said that we had one of the world's best; thinking that he should have said one of the world's least bad; reflecting that someone who thinks a good prison system is possible is either a genius or a fool; finding the show business magazine Variety for sale; seeing a similarly formatted magazine devoted to cooking.

Saw the first snow since spring.

The rest of the family went to see the latest movie of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, but to me it was more important to attend the Movies Meetup. (I ate at Arby's.)

The next book for the Book Club Meetup is C.S. Lewis' Narnia book The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.  Unfortunately, because of the upcoming movie all the library copies are already out, so I bought a paperback edition at Indigo.  There's something vaguely creepy about it.

The Movies Meetup organizer couldn't come (like the Book Club last Sunday), so only one other person showed up, and he got called away by his job just as we were about to go see The Squid and the Whale.

Instead, I went to a combined Meetin/Linkup event at Twister Karaoke.  I sang the Gary U.S. Bonds song "New Orleans" for the first time.  The equipment acted up.
