August 9, 2010

"Nothing would have been wanting to the perfection of his character as a fraternal guide, philosopher, and friend if he had only steered his brother clear of ruin, instead of bringing it upon him"--Little Dorrit

"Use your little noggin!"--Harry Brown


    Dreamed of writing a facetious poem as a postscript in a letter:

  The Erie Canal has pike and bluefin

  If I don't get my fortune, prepare to move in!


    Saw Grandpa's Treasure [sic] of Wonderful Stories, a DVD of animated fables from India. (One was about two friends called Goodie and Baddie!)


    Dinner was spinach lasagna.


    Saw Harry Brown at the Underground. (Fifteen years ago I saw the Chinese epic The Great Conqueror's Concubine there with Puitak, back when it was called the Golden Classics.) A familiar, unpleasant vigilante story, though Michael Caine was well cast.  There were only four of us there, making the place look even bigger!
