Dreamed of having my own apartment in Halifax.
I was going to go to the CNE with the Aspergers Meetup, but they changed the meeting time from noon to 11:00, and that was too early for me.
Dinner was turkey.
Saw the DVD of Paul Cox' The Diaries of Vaslav Nijinsky, documenting his slide into insanity.
I've broken 50,000 a few times in the Train video game! [I also figured out how to put the train on a closed loop and get an infinite score...]
Dreamed of seeing a movie that combined Ghost with The Sixth Sense; a DVD with a menu so huge that I couldn't figure out where to start it.
Went to a Walking Meetup. We walked around the Music Garden and the Irish Memorial and saw some of the CNE air show.
Dinner was leftover fettucine and lasagna (which we'd had in the freezer!).
Dreamed of Marvin Gaye's "Ain't That Peculiar"; a letter to an advice columnist from a man whose ex had taken up with a bigot, who often did yard work at the bigot's place on weekends to be near his kids, and often heard abusive language; a non-existent scene in The Princess Bride with the man speaking while we only see the woman's tearful reaction, through a mirror.
Went to an Art Meetup at the Gladstone Hotel. We looked at an exhibit of art by the mentally ill then went to the restaurant, where I ate eggs benedict.
Dinner was curried scallops.
The cool weather has arrived!
Went to a Games Meetup (new group) at the Runnymede Starbuck's. I played Settles of Catan and Ticket to Ride.
Dreamed of Mendelsohn's "Spring Song."
Dinner was McDonald's.
Added over eighty historical documentary DVDs to our queue at zip.ca.
"He can peel a potato at fifty yards just by hating it!"--Kung Fu
Dreamed of being unable to figure out a textbook of really advanced biological mathematics.
Baked multigrain bread.
Dinner was pasta salad. (I wasn't hungry enough to find more to eat.)
I was going to attend a cello concert with the Classical Music Meetup group, but it rained.
Saw the DVD of the first episode of the Terry Jones history series Barbarians. I learned a lot of new stuff about the Celts.
"They say he's the new us, two or three years from now"--Thirtysomething
The internet was back in the morning.
Dinner was KFC.
Went to the Games Meetup. I played The Amazeing Labyrinth, Ticket to Ride (American), and Smallworld, where my races were heroic ghouls, swamp amazons and diplomatic trolls.
In the evening the internet went off again!
Went to another Lunch Meetup at the Mandarin. (My fortune said my hard work will soon be rewarded...)
Bart: "I am the creature from Uranus!"--The Simpsons
Dreamed of being a politician and delivering funny lines about the transparent hypocrisy of Republican Senator Orrin Hatch (who actually said "The death penalty is about the sanctity of human life"!)
The internet's been down for hours!
Went shopping.
Dinner was another lentil pie. (I usually supplement that with some fast food, but today I didn't feel like it, that's how hot it was!)
Saw the DVD of the first episode of Stephen Fry in America, where the title tells all. (He drove through all 50 states in a black London-style taxi.) Pretty amusing.
I also saw the DVD of "Blood of the Dragon," the last Kung Fu episode that I saw at the time. (Not that I disliked it so much.)
The internet connection came back in the evening, then conked out again!
"It's weird to be in a park without tear gas"--ibid.
Milhous (to himself): "If you do whatever she [Lisa] wants you to do, she's sure to respect you!"--The Simpsons
Ned: "I did everything that the Bible says, even the parts that contradict the other parts!"--ibid.
Dreamed that we were living in Bedford-Stuyvesand in New York City.
Went to the old Games Meetup at Snakes & Lattes near Bathurst Station. (That's a new coffee shop aimed at board gamers with hundreds of games available to customers. We went there in the daytime to honour its opening day. I played Agricola and Bohnanza.
Dinner was spaghetti.
Saw the DVD of the first episode of Thirtysomething (which I don't think I even watched back in the 1980s). Of its time.
Dreamed of visiting a non-existent New Brunswick community called Covent Garden; finding some of my comics collection in an office there, left on some stairs.
I lent out my Metropass and Katie went on her first subway journey.
The girls went home in the afternoon.
Dinner was McDonald's. (Lucky they accepted my $50 bill!)
Went to the new Games Meetup at the Fox & Fiddle near St. Clair station. I played Munchkin and The Amazeing Labyrinth. I was pretty unlucky at Munchkin: my steed got stolen, my hireling got killed, and after I got a "wandering monster" card and needed a monster to play it with, I kept getting useless race cards!
