actually didn't feel sleepy on saturday night. i ended up watching cadillac records. music was excellent. movie was quite good but all of those biopics tend to become cliches. good performances, great sets, really great costumes, but a strong feeling of i've heard this story before. a solid b at the least given everything.
finally went to bed at 1:30.
woke up at about 3:30 freezing. i had kicked all of the sheets and blankets off and was dreaming about trying to keep warm in a drafty building. slept much better after pulling on a blanket and a sheet.
woke up at 7:15. nice to sleep in a bit.
breakfast
waffles (2)
bacon
iced tea
coffee
that breakfast really hit the spot.
tried to get the grass cut. couldn't get the mower to start. thought i must have flooded so i went and did some other chores.
came back to try the mower again and finally got it started, then i couldn't get it to move. clutch or drive belt or something is slopping. v pissed because we just had this in the shop in may.
lunch
pizza (2 sl)
macaroni salad
coke
more chores and sketches from beyond the fringe in the afternoon.
dinner
veg burgers (2)
chips
cole slaw
iced tea
we started watching by the light of the silvery moon. booth tarkington stories. doris day, gordon mcrae. around 1917/1918. silvery moon was a sequel to on moonlight bay. it feels like the early tv family oriented sitcoms may have had there roots in movies like moonlight bay and silvery moon. mom, dad, two kids, dog, servant, big house in the suburbs.
