"There are motherfucking snakes on the motherfucking plane!"--Weeds

"Mommy, why doesn't he like people?"--Robot Monster

    Started a new online game called Glory of Rome.  It's essentially the same as Kings of Camelot, with even the same alliances.  I took the name Martinianus and called my city Megalopolis.

    Relatives from Kingston came for an overnight stay.

    Dinner was linguini primavera with shrimp.

    Saw the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version of the notorious 1950s B-movie Robot Monster on DVD.

"Fuck you, I have a Prius!"--Weeds

    Dreamed of reflecting that the saddest sound in the world is of a piano being closed; visiting a drugs lab on a rooftop and warning that the icy object nearby on the roof might attract police attention; leaving by a slide to street level.

    Found some shrimp noodles at the big Loblaw's near St. Clair & Bathurst. (I didn't know they still made them!)

    Dinner was salmon.

    Went to a University of Toronto concert with the Classical Music Meetup group. (I moved several more Toronto City Opera flyers.) The music was rather avant-garde for my taste--one piece was performed by a string quartet with an accordion--and I left in the intermission.
