My dad's been very well behaved, for him. We all watched some of The Ruling Class (Peter O'Toole thinks he's Jesus-- mm mm mm) and went for a walk and had tea after the big Easter dinner, which wasn't too bad despite the ham. Also, we coloured eggs, and Tante Joan brought over the Easter bonnets she made out of straw hats and fake flowers. I always associate Easter with T.J. and her straw hats and fake flowers.

So, speaking of The Ruling Class, that one definitely goes on my film-festival list. When we had sort of a film-club going on, some friends and I, we each picked a theme of movies to watch. My theme was called "Donkey Donkey Donkey Don Quixote". (Which is a Newsradio reference, if you want to know.) The films in it were They Might Be Giants, Don Juan de Marco and The Ruling Class. A man thinks he's Sherlock Holmes, a man thinks he's Don Juan, a man thinks he's Jesus. Of course we never got around to my theme-- we never got past the first theme. ("Comedies of the 1950's"-- Gina and I were the only ones who got around to watching the movies in that one.)
