Went shopping (before lunch).
Dinner was steak.
I was going to go to the Architecture for Humanity Meetup, but when I got to St. Clair West station the subway had stopped because of a fire in the tunnel!
I've started rereading the first chapters of Dream of the Red Chamber and listing all the characters. It's made things clearer!
I'm trying to read the book club selecion Don't Believe Everything You Think, but I've ended up skimming all the way through it.
Marge Simpson: "Maggie, when you grow up you can suck on your pacifier all you want."
Dreamed of being unsure whether when we sold our old house in Sackville, N.B., we also sold the adjacent ground. (Of course we did!)
Dinner was Chinese food.
Saw the first episode of the BBC documentary series How Art Made the World. It was about the emergence of visual style in the ancient world. Gimmicky but interesting.
Stayed indoors two days in a row.
Homer Simpson: "If I tell you, will you promise you won't get mad?"
Marge Simpson: "I promise I will get mad, because that's what I do whenever you ask me to promise not to!"
Dreamed of visiting the downtown store selling newspapers in my hometown Sackville, N.B.; Bugs Bunny framed in a Hollywood paternity scandal(?).
Warmer weather has arrived!
Went to the Maria Shchuka library and borrowed the Non-Fiction Book Club's next book.
Dinner was spaghetti.
Headache!
At choir practice we rehearsed the Easter concert. (Giuseppe Macina's getting cataract surgery!) Now that the TOR season is finished, Leonard's back.
Bart Simpson: "Mom, you know why these shirts are on sale? Because people who wear them get beaten up!"
Marge Simpson: "Well, anyone who beats you up because of a shirt isn't your friend."
John and Kathrine came over for dinner, which was pizza.
Went to bed early in the evening, and woke up later.
Dinner was McDonald's.
Spent the whole evening sorting through the new additions to my Steve Canyon Sunday comics collection. (I plugged several one-episode holes.) It kept me up till almost 03:00!
Bones: "Spock, that 'child' is about to wipe all human life off the face of the planet! What are you suggesting we do, spank it?"--Star Trek: The Motion Picture
"The story took so long to unfold--it was awesome!"--audience member overheard afterward
Dreamed of visiting my hometown Sackville, N.B., and seeing that York Street had become a divided highway(?).
Called Elaine to arrange about a second tarot reading to make use of the discount I won in the draw. But she can't do it at her place and I can't do it at my home until the others are away. (They'd have a fit if they knew I was spending good money on superstition!)
Got my hair cut. (The barber took my coat off for me!)
Dinner was roast chicken.
Put my comic books in order.
Saw Robert Wise's Star Trek: The Motion Picture (for the second time) at the Bloor. Kinda fun in a slow, pedestrian way. The opening scene with the Klingons was cool. [Unfortunately this print had lost the best line, Bones' "Engineers love to change things!"]
I'm starting to get ideas for my blog, but just now I can't open blogger.com!
Dreamed of the Mt. Allison University library.
Got an Ebay package of Phantom reprints from Australia.
I was thinking of seeing There Will Be Blood, but I ended up staying in all day.
Dinner was chili con carne.
Finally posted that blog entry about the comic strip Teen-Wise last night. But once again the pictures don't fit in the space and I'll have to make special thumbnails again.
