Ron Weasley: "The world's mental!"--Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I

"I have a job interview today."

"So who's rejecting you this time?"

--Weeds

    Dreamed of the Elton John song "Daniel"; finding an old-fashioned alarm clock with bells on the top.

    In addition to Weeds, I'm watching a DVD of films produced by the Edison studios in the 1890s right at the start of cinema!

    Dinner was beef curry.

    Saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I at the Yonge & Eglinton.  It's a grim, austere series entry, less loud, flashy and fast-paced than I recall the earlier ones being and all the better for it.  Good directing job by David Yates.

 Dreamed of quarrelling with Moira; walking on a sandy promontory at the Guantanamo leasehold in Cuba; getting the idea of writing a novel with character names that all rhymed with something (like someone called Mr. Fife, which rhymes with life).

    My new heater works a lot better than the old one.

    I'm now watching the second season of Weeds on DVD.  A really brilliant satire.

    I've joined the Pandorasbox Alliance in the game Kingdoms of Camelot.

    Baked whole wheat bread. (I'd mixed the dough just a couple of days after baking the previous loaf because I thought relatives would be coming, but they didn't.)

    Dinner was pork steak.

"In junior high I could lift 150 pounds."

"In junior high I was 150 pounds!"

--Rhoda

    The entertainment at nearby Ellington's kept me awake far past midnight.  So I got up, mixed some dough and went on the computer for quite a while before going back to bed.

    John and Kathrine came over for lunch.

    I've quit Farmville and Frontierville and I'm now into two new games:  the Sim City-like Cityville and Kingdoms of Camelot.  I named my Cityville community Centerville, and all its businesses are called Burger City, Toy City, Coffee City etc. (Imaginative, huh?) I named my Kingdoms of Camelot avatar Lord Recceswinth (after a king of Visigothic Spain).

    Dinner was pizza.

    Saw the DVD of the first episode of a PBS series about the history of the Broadway musical.

    Headache!
