I still didn’t manage to finish memorizing “Variations sur le même t'aime” (Variations on the Usual I Love You) by Serge Gainsbourg. I’ll be very surprised if it’s not nailed down on Sunday.
I played my Gibson Les Paul Studio electric guitar during song practice for the first of two sessions.
I weighed 86.15 kilos before breakfast.
Around midday I went to No Frills where I bought five bags of grapes, three packs of raspberries, two packs of five-year-old cheddar, three bags of skim milk, mouthwash, a pack of interdental brushes, spoon sized shredded wheat, Thai chili dipping sauce, honey, a jug of orange juice, a container of skyr, and a bag of Miss Vickie’s sweet chili chips. I did a price match on the grapes because Freshco is a little cheaper this week.
I weighed 86.35 kilos at 14:45 before a late lunch. I had Cheez-It crackers with five-year-old cheddar and a glass of low sugar iced tea.
In the afternoon, instead of taking a bike ride downtown I rode to the Dufferin Mall and walked to Mark’s to buy a new pair of winter gloves. I’ve bought Wind River gloves whenever I needed new ones for the last twenty years. But Kombi are the same price and seem about the same except they are longer, so I got a pair of those. They gave me a discount. I might get mittens if they still don’t keep out the cold. It was snowing on my way home so I might not have ridden downtown anyway.
Kombi is a Canadian company, founded in Montreal in 1961 by a ski racer named Danny Gold. Nancy Greene wore Kombi gloves when she won gold in the first Ski World Cup. When the Crazy Canucks became the first Canadians to win the downhill world cup they were wearing Kombi gloves. Mark’s Work warehouse is also Canadian and began in Calgary in 1977. The Wind River brand belongs to Mark’s but there’s no info as to whether they started it or whether it was an acquisition. Mark’s has belonged to Canadian Tire since 2002. It looks like Wind River copies Kombi.
I weighed 86.05 kilos at 17:55.
I was caught up on my journal at 19:53.
I have a cold.
I worked a bit on the first frame of the second animated wave for the video I’m creating for the studio recording of my song “Seven Shades of Blues”.
I made pizza on a slice of multigrain sandwich bread with Italian sausage pasta sauce, three fish fillets and five-year-old cheddar. I had it with a beer while watching episodes 71 to 75 of Batfink.
In episode 71, Hugo Agogo calls Batfink and tells him he needs his help. As Batfink says to anyone in need, “I’ll be right over”. When Batfink arrives at Hugo’s lair Hugo tells him that someone who looks just like him is about to rob the bank. Batfink goes to the bank to hear the robber identified as Hugo. Meanwhile the lookalike returns to Hugo and hands him the bank loot. Hugo reveals that his impersonator is a transistorized plastic dummy. Batfink returns to find two Hugos. They each pull a switch and the heroes are kicked in the head by the back hooves of the painting of the horse they are standing in front of. They are chained to the wall and the fake Hugo holds a live bomb next to them while the real Hugo leaves the room. The fake Hugo says he will turn off his switch so he doesn’t hear the explosion but when he can’t find a switch he realizes he’s the real Hugo. He throws the bomb away and it explodes at a safe distance. Both Hugos are captured and sorted out.
In episode 72, Hugo walks into a bank and threatens the manager with what he says is an ectoplasmic super magneto fountain pen. The frightened manager gives him the money and Hugo leaves. Then he reveals to us that he was only bluffing and what he showed the manager was an ordinary pen. Batfink and Karate confront Hugo at his lair and Hugo threatens them with a split pea. He says it contains super nuclear atomizing nitro glycerine. Hugo uses a slingshot to shoot a pea at them but nothing happens. Batfink says Hugo picked the wrong pea, then he reaches into Hugo’s pea soup and picks out what he says is the real explosive pea. Hugo is frightened and backs away then Batfink throws the pea on the floor and says he was bluffing. The real explosive pea is still in the bowl until Karate tries to eat it and it blows up.
In episode 73, Napoleon Blownapart is blowing up statues. The narrator asks him why and Napoleon says his doctor asks the same thing. Batfink’s super sonar locates Napoleon in a cave but by the time they enter it he is outside. Napoleon blows up a statue of Atlas holding the world and the sphere rolls to plug up the cave. Batfink and Karate push their way out. They see Napoleon standing beside a statue of Justice then he blows it apart and her scales fall on the heads of the heroes. Napoleon ties them to the base of the Batfink statue and throws a grenade. The explosion breaks their bonds and the statue is not damaged because the wings are made of steel. Batfink stops Napoleon by throwing a discus he takes from a statue.
In episode 74, Hugo has constructed a white flag so he can pretend to surrender and then trap Batfink in his atom boom machine. Hugo goes to the police station and calls Batfink on the hotline to ask him to meet. Batfink sees Hugo destroy several of his nasty inventions. Then he says that before destroying it he wants to show Batfink the one invention that could have defeated him. Batfink sees the solid plutonium atomic boom and admits that it really could have destroyed him. When Batfink gets close Hugo pushes him inside and locks the door. He says the other side of the white flag was not white. Batfink will be dead in three seconds but the narrator extends that long enough for Batfink to reverse the polarity of the detonator wires.
In episode 75, Magneto, master of magnetism robs a jewellery store without stepping inside. Batfink sprays his wings with anti-magnetism spray then goes after Magneto. Batfink’s super sonar finds him in a warehouse. Magneto traps Karate in a metal cage. Magneto’ s powers have no effect on Batfink’s wings of steel because of the spray. Magneto sprays Batfink with water to wash off the anti-magnetism spray. Then Batfink is caught in a magnet that also generates heat. Batfink’s wings become red hot. Magneto uses his magnetism on Karate to bring him to witness his pal’s destruction but the magnetism pulls out all the contents of Karate’s utility sleeve. The items bury Magneto while a flying crowbar pulls the switch to free Batfink from the magnet.
