Michael: "I don't like the sound of that!"
"...also entitled 'Let's Tidy up the Nursery'!"
"I told you she was full of tricks!"
--Mary Poppins
Mrs. Banks (trying to dissuade the nanny from leaving): "Think of Mr. Banks! He's almost got used to you"--ibid.
"There's nothing like a good joke, and that was nothing like a good joke"--ibid.
"And shut the window. That bird's giving me a headache!"--ibid.
"That's just good clean soot, Michael"--ibid.
Dreamed of a sequel to Dangerous Liaisons in which the John Malkovich character was senile and went back to school; being on a small rocky island in the north Atlantic and walking to its highest peak.
Went to a Classical Music Meetup at a room in the Northern District library. (I was late because I thought it was at the Reference Library!) We did a talent show, and I tried to sing "Le Veau d'Or" from Faust, but the score was too hard for the accompanist to sight-read, so instead I sang "Il Balen di Suo Sorriso" from Il Trovatore. Afterwards I talked with the guy who wants to start a combo.
Dinner was frozen Italian food.
Saw the DVD of Mary Poppins (for at least the sixth time). It's a lot different from the books, judging by the one I read, and a lot better, though Dick Van Dyke's cockney accent is a little much. What great songs!
