Late Start, but Good Outcome

rfmcdonaldI got up at 11:30, after being semi-conscious for an hour. I did nothing all afternoon--well, I did watch a depressing documentary on a Texan serial killer on A&E, one McDuff who got paroled because the prisons were full (after killing three people) and went onto to murder five more women. After that, the day picked up.
I went down to the Comic Hunter at 4 o'clock, to meet Allan. I hung aroudn there with him for a time until Joni came, then we went down to the Sobey's grocery store to pick up some food (chicken thighs and the ingredients for stuffed potatoes and some drinks) at 400 University Avenue before going over to pick up the 2002 movie version of The Importance of Being Earnest starring Rupert Everett and Colin Firth at the nearby Blockbuster.
The movie was quite good, as was the accompanying food. It helps, I think, that the script was adapted so extensively to fit the movie; Wilde's play suffers, I fear, from an excess of wit, and the surgery performed on the source text makes it more digestible. On a slightly different note, it appears I'e been drafted as stage manager in an upcoming perform of The Importance of Being Earnest. This is going to be interesting.
Oh, and I saw the next-to-final episode of Angel. (Click here for a detailed description of the episode, spoilers included.) Brilliant show, it is.
'Tis all.
