March 22, 2009

Dreamed of the movie of the comic-strip musical Annie (which I've never seen); the wartime mentality of Allied nations in World War II, with its demand for uniform enthusiasm for fighting; that recurring dream where my family is in my hometown of Sackville, N.B., in September and I'm eager to return to Toronto, but the parents keep delaying; watching a video of a 1930s Warner Brothers movie that seemed to go on forever.


Saw the DVD of the last episode of The Strauss Family.  Then I went online and read all about Strauss and his music on Wikipedia, as well as hearing a few MIDIs and YouTube clips. (Earlier today I was reading on Wikipedia about Norman Thomas and the Socialist Party in the United States.)


Dinner was Moira's lentil-rice pie. (Later I supplemented it at KFC.)


Went to a concert given by Mary's Allegria chamber music group.  Jonah (whom I knew from the Karaoke Meetup) also performed some guitar numbers, including that music from The Deer Hunter.


Finished Maxed Out.  It's a must-read, though pretty depressing. (I imagine Moira will want to read it.) I think the government should take over Visa and Mastercard and the credit reference agencies, and provide consumers with consistent services.
