Alberich the Dwarf (to a Rhine Maiden): "If you don't like my looks, choose an eel for your lover!"--Das Rheingold
"It's the start of a great love affair."
"Yeah. Truman in love with Truman.
--Capote
One of the killers featured in In Cold Blood: "There must have been something wrong with us, to do what we did"--ibid.
Dreamed of being so weak I needed a nurse to take my shoes off; the actress Evangeline Lilly (whom I know nothing about); a story in the comic strip Rip Kirby where bank robbers kidnapped a little girl.
Baked white bread.
Saw the Met production of Wagner's Das Rheingold at the Sheppard Grande. (I mistakenly went to the Yonge & Eglinton first, but I had time to kill anyway.) It was a triumph, brilliantly staged by Robert Lepage. I met a few Classical Music Meetup members there. My bladder was full, but I didn't care! For a snow with no intermission, it moved really well.
Dinner was McDonald's.
Saw the DVD of Capote (for the second time). The underappreciated performance is Catherine Keener's Harper Lee.
