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.
