Popeye: "I'll give ya a lesson, Missus Sea Hag. First duck yer head, then open yer mouth an' take a deep breath. Try it!"--Thimble Theatre
Introducing Jack the Ripper: "Spring Heel Jack, the most interesting character of all time!"--Waxworks
Dreamed of getting up so early that I didn't know what I was doing; the wonderful Alice Munro story "Day of the Butterfly" (which I read in high school).
At today's singing lesson I tried the recitativo from the Macbeth aria. (I'd borrowed the score from the Reference Library again--too bad the ink on my copy was faint.)
I'm now reading more of the Popeye reprint. The Sea Hag is really creepy!
Dinner was lasagna.
My uncle Alfie died in Cape Breton. (He was about 90. I hadn't expected he'd outlive Aunt Alma, who died a few years ago.)
Saw the DVD of Paul Leni's German silent Waxworks. Lots of great expressionist tableaux.
