Joined the Fitness and Low-Key Singles Meetup for a hike around the Leslie Street Spit.  It's a remarkable place.

Dinner was spaghetti.

Saw the Shaw Brothers kung fu movie The Five Venoms at the Cinematheque. (Colin Geddes introduced it.) It was pretty complicated.

Soames: "You mistake all your geese for swans.  I've never yet met an artist who doesn't"--The Forsyte Saga

Today was the first day of Marj's break, and I got up to "C" in the file amalgamation.  I also entered some more performance evaluation data in the computer.

Headache.  Maybe the cool weather was responsible.

We finally planted the last sets in the garden.

Saw the last DVD of The Forsyte Saga.  Quite enjoyable.

Got some Ebay Steve Canyons, Steve Ropers, Rick O'Shays and Terry & the Pirates at Dragon Lady.

Dreamed of a Quebec museum with a display showing objects salvaged by divers from a shipwreck, including jam tarts(?).

At work I had another full day and managed to get to the end of the "G" files in my amalgamation.  We also went into the archives room and did some more boxing there.  Marj is taking some time off tomorrow and people seem to know it, because the kept phoning her all afternoon.

Dinner was ham.

Went to a karaoke session at the Geneva Centre.  I sang, "Beyond the Sea," Dancing in the Streets," "Hey, Jude" and "Can't Help Falling in Love."

At work I had to redo those envelopes from last week because the address labels were in the wrong place.

After work I went to the Davisville station and saw their new prototype subway car. (There was a stupid survey which I avoided filling out.)

Afternoon nap.

Dinner was McDonald's.

Posted some Dick Tracys, Steve Canyons and Prince Valiants for sale on Ebay.

June 6, 2006

At work I got almost all the way through the "M" files in the amalgamation.  I also did some copying for Dan.

Dinner was halibut.

Got some more Star Weekly comics sections I won on Ebay.

June 5, 2006

Dreamed of an actual 1985 movie review (in The Globe and Mail) that said, "The Heavenly Kid is no Back to the Future--more like 'Forward to the past.'"

At work I typed up a list of all our binder content, much of which may soon be shredded.

After work I bought just five Cinematheque tickets. (I was able to pay in cash!)

Went shopping.

I completely forgot about my appointment with Dr. Hassan, my shrink!  After they phoned, I saw him later in the afternoon.

Dinner was steak.

At choir practice we sang that Macbeth chorus again, and afterward I told Giuseppe about the actual line from a student paper, "Lady Macbeth convinced her husband to kill King Duncan by attacking his manhood." That gave him a good laugh.

Went to a Linkup event at the Richtree restaurant.  Unfortunately, along with a few others I got separated from the main group. (The place was crowded!) I don't care for market-type restaurants:  too confusing for me.

Dinner was lasagna.

We removed the furniture from Moira's room and threw out her carpet. (She'll be sleeping downstairs for a while.)

Resumed singing practice after a break of several weeks. [The dust in my workplace was getting to my voice.] I'm ready to resume singing lessons with Giuseppe Macina.
