Warmer weather.
Dinner was roast chicken.
Went to Mary's games night. (I brought the Mouse Trap game, but nobody played it.) I played Apples to Apples, Jenga and Scrabble, the latter with a Malaysian-born half-German called Marcel. He got the big breaks and won with 290+ points, but I still managed 260+.
Read David Mamet's article about why he's ceased to be a "brain-dead liberal." What a pseud! (Straw men galore...)
Dreamed of getting into a quarrel with Mother because she misunderstood a question as a criticism; seeing a new version of the last season of The Sopranos, where Adrianna came back from the dead only to be murdered again!
Didn't get up until after 14:00!
Saw the DVD of the first episodes of Faerie Tale Theatre. Quirky and cute.
Went to the Games Meetup at the Emmett Street apartment. (It had been delayed twice.) A lot of people said they'd come, but only three showed up. The organizer may quit, which is understandable.
Installed Global Writer and the printer softwar on the upstairs laptop. The I realized it didn't have a drive for floppy disc files!
Baked multigrain bread overnight.
Dreamed of an actual 1987 interview with the executive editor of The New York Sunday Times where he candidly admitted that up-to-date sports news was more important than an up-to-date "The Week in Review" section!
Got another Ebay comic strip package from Barry King, with some full-page Prince Valiants! I also got a package of Dick Tracys from Switzerland with all the 1976 Sundays, most of which I remember reading at the time, and one of Alley Oops.
Dinner was shrimp and rice.
Tried to get to the Chinese Literature Meetup event again, but this time nobody showed up!
Dreamed of Pippi Longstocking; a cabin at the top of a hill in a non-existent park on the road between my hometown Sackville and the city of Moncton.
Headache.
Dinner was spaghetti.
At choir practice we learned an introductory part for the Prayer from Rossini's Moses. (It's in addition to the main part which we already know.)
I thinking I can print the second chapter of Wandering Youth on the upstairs computer, if I install Global Writer on our laptop up there.
Checked on the internet where to get a copy of Pippi Longstocking.
Assembled my Mouse Trap game for the first time. (It should be fun!)
I missed an NDP rally for the Toronto Centre byelection. (Bloody Daylight Savings Time!)
Donald came over for dinner, which was roast lamb.
I tried to use my computer's printer with an ink cartridge Father had filled, but it still wouldn't work. Then I put the file onto a floppy disk and installed Global Writer on Moira's computer, and that did work! I've printed out the first chapter of my translation of that Chinese novel Wandering Youth. (I've translated the second chapter too, and I'd have printed that one except that Moira's printer ran out of ink.)
I've finished re-reading the first chapters of Dream of the Red Chamber, and drawn up a genealogical table, and now I'm reading four new chapters for Thursday night.
They say there's going to be a snowstorm well into tomorrow, so I postponed the Lunch Club Meetup until a week Sunday.
Sore throat.
Dinner was roast chicken.
Baked rye bread overnight.
The Cinematheque is showing a whole series of Josef Von Sternberg movies. (Too bad I'll be away in England for some of them...)
