Got some more comics packages from Ebay. There's just one left.
Went shopping.
Dinner was spaghetti.
It turned out that we hadn't recorded the "Ideale" accompaniment after all, because I'd just pressed the play key without the record key! (I'm kicking myself...)
Saw the DVD of the first episodes of the Buster Crabbe serial Buck Rogers.
Baked raisin bread.
Got my hair cut.
Moira recorded the accompaniment for the Tosti song "Ideale."
Dinner was halibut.
Went to see Michael Mann's Miami Vice movie at the Yorkdale Silvercity with Anthony and some friends of his. The plot seemed unimportant, but the film was kinda cool in a slick, forgettable way (not unlike Mann's original TV series).
My singing lessons are on Monday again. I would have gone in the morning but Giuseppe changed the schedule at the last minute so he could have his hearing checked some months after he had an earache problem. (It's fine now.)
Started rereading Pearl S. Buck's The Good Earth for the Book Club Meetup. It's remarkably free of sentimentaliy.
Dinner was scalloped potatoes and ham.
Saw the DVD of Destroy All Monsters, in which an all-star Japanese monster cast led by Godzilla (but no Gamera) started attacking big cities all over the world because they were being manipulated by invaders from outer space. Needed more of the monsters, who in the end didn't get destroyed...
Saw the DVD of the first of the Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoons. Classic stuff.
Dreamed of a remake of the 1984 Sean Penn movie Racing With the Moon; a promo for a TV version of Anne Rice's Interview With the Vampire.
The Book Club Meetup went to the Toronto Islands to discuss Emily of New Moon and The Blue Castle. As usual, Karen ended up doing most of the talking. The conversation slid into child abuse. (I mean, we ended up talking about it, not doing it!)
Dinner was McDonald's.
Prepared six more comics packages to sell on Ebay.
I'm now posting comments on the Comics Curmudgeon website, full of comic-strip history.
We went to Niagara-on-the-Lake and saw the Shaw Festival production of The Crucible, Arthur Miller's play about the Salem Witch Trials. It's a great play, though in a very 1950s way, including its existential turn in the last act.
Dinner was pizza.
My way of dealing with my headache was to have a long bath.
We finally went shopping, and bought the new pitcher.
I was worrying that my money was running low, so Father wrote me a $500 cheque. But just after depositing it, I got two interest cheques worth over $200 each!
Dinner was linguini with shrimp sauce.
Posted a group of Terry and the Pirates Sundays for sale on Ebay. (They all have appearances by the Dragon Lady.)
Dreamed of meeting a group of young people from both the North and the South at the start of the US Civil War.
We were going to go shopping, but someone parked his car so we couldn't get ours out, and Father couldn't find him and get him to move it.
Baked whole wheat bread.
Dinner was ham.
Saw the DVD of some early episodes of The Flip Wilson Show.
