August 9, 2008

Dreamed of my official record claiming that I'd been expelled from school for throwing something at a teacher.                                                                           Saw Aram Khachaturian's ballet Spartacus at the Empress Walk.  It was a Bolshoi Ballet production staged in Paris, with a Cuban lead who bore a rather appropriate resemblance to Che Guevara.  Great music. [I recognized the adagio that became the theme music for the 1970s British TV series The Onedin Line.]                                                                       Dinner was churrasco chicken.                                                               Saw the DVD of City of Gold, the National Film Board documentary about Dawson City and the Klondike gold rush, narrated by native son Pierre Berton.
