Drunk pair: "What does your watch say?" "It says, 'Tick, tick, tick, tick..."

"Tell me the truth--do I look bad to you?" "Well, to tell you the truth, I don't know you well enough to tell you the truth."

"Well, I seldom change boats in mid-ocean."

--Shall We Dance?

Dreamed of Trixie, a non-existent sitcom from the early 1960s about a finishing school teacher barely older than her pupils.

We got a huge pile of mail, including five DVDs from zip.ca.

Went shopping.

Dinner was fettucine alfredo (which I cooked).

Saw the DVD of the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers musical Shall We Dance?  It has some famous Gershwin songs, but the story's very thin--involving a false rumour that they're married--and much of the comedy is unfunny. (Stuff like people saying "Ssh!" to each other.) The final number, bizarrely, has a dozen chorus girls wearing Ginger Rogers masks.
