"The Irish are the blacks of Europe, the Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland, and the North Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin!"--The Commitments
Went to a Cinematheque screening of Betty Boop cartoons from the 1930s. Very cute. (They also had some animated bouncing-ball singalongs like "Come Take a Trip in My Airship.")
Headache.
Dinner was roast beef.
Baked gingerbread to bring to the opera fundraiser tomorrow.
Saw the DVD of Alan Parker's The Commitments (for the second time). It's based on Roddy Doyle's novel about a group of working-class Dubliners forming a soul band. An enjoyable comedy with a swell cast.
The New York Sunday Times crossword puzzle was harder than usual. (The long answers involved colleges famous for athletics.)
