"Mrs. Merdle concurred with all her heart--or with all her art, which was exactly the same thing..."--Little Dorrit

"There are people who love you, Jimmy."

"Right now I'm more worried about the people who say they love me than the ones who don't"

--The Wire

    Dreamed of the Renoir cinema in London; drinking orange juice; considering that life was worth living for the best of the upcoming movies; a library displaying TV commercials; the Young People's Science Encyclopedia (which we only got the first three volumes of).

    Went shopping. (I also got some new underwear.)

    Dinner was steak.

    Went to the first Toronto City Opera rehearsal.  We did part of Strauss' Die Fledermaus (which translator Gerald Hannon's subtitled "Going Batty"--geddit?), but they haven't finished printing out the score so we finished early.

    Saw the DVD of the first episode of The Story of Maths, a British Open University documentary series about mathematical history.
