Dreamed of going to the cinema and seeing the musical Oliver; leaving early because I was too sleepy to pay attention.                                                                           Started reading my new book Albion's Seed, which I bought on Ebay.  It's about American society's origins in terms of four regions--Puritan New England, Quaker Pennsylvania, the Cavalier South and the border Scottish frontier.  I'm reading the last part first.                                                                                  Dinner was Indian food we found in the freezer.                                                                                       Saw the first half of another DVD of Warner Brothers cartoons.  This one focuses on beta-level characters like Pepe le Pew and the Martian.                                                                                          Went to the Trash Palace on Niagara Street for a night of educational shorts, none of which I'd seen before.  It went on past midnight with stuff like Meadowlark Lemon introducing kids to geography and Casey Kasem fighting employee theft.
