Yesterday I was telling Giuseppe, my singing teacher, about how Velazquez' Rokeby Venus painting got slashed by a suffragette a century ago. [She didn't like how men were leering at it.] And now it turns out that some madwoman attacked a Gauguin in a Washington gallery! [It was "Two Tahitian Women" at the National Gallery, but she was stopped by its plexiglass cover.]
Went shopping.
Dinner was shrimp linguini.
Saw the DVD of Robert Siodmak's thriller The Spiral Staircase. Pretty scary. (I had to see most of the last third a second time because George Brent's voice made me sleepy!)
I remembered the doctor in The Spiral Staircase [Kent Smith] from some role where he was older, and it turned out I was thinking of his role (also a doctor) in the TV series of Peyton Place.
