Lisa: "I know it's true!  I read it on a restaurant placemat"--The Simpsons


    Puitak and Gordon came over and brought lunch.


    Drove down to the lakeshore with the parents. (I don't usually accompany them.)


    Dinner was the rest of the Chinese food.

"What kind of dame marries a hood?"

"All kinds."

--The Narrow Margin

"You make me sick to my stomach!"

"Well, not in my sink."

--ibid.


    I feel like I'm getting a cold.


    Dinner was the rest of the fettucine.


    Saw the DVD of Richard Fleischer's train thriller The Narrow Margin.  That was quite a twist! (They should have taken a plane.)

On Musetta: "She's well-dressed."

"Angels are naked."

--La Boheme


    Went to a Classical Music Meetup at a fancy townhouse on Sheppard Avenue. (I took the bus east from Downsview station.) We saw a Blu-Ray DVD of a production of Puccini's La Boheme by Madrid's Teatro Real, and had a big-screen set to see it on!  Laura Giordano was a gorgeous Musetta!


    Dinner was lobster rolls.


    Went to bed early.


    Dreamed of finding an underground civilization with a lower level of development and causing a civil war there; checking different TV channels around midnight Saturday; Dvorak's "Songs My Mother Taught Me"; Moira learning the Armenian language. [She knows German and Russian.]
