I memorized the fifth verse of “Une Fille à la mer” (A Girl Out to Sea) by Serge Gainsbourg and translated it. There are three verses left.
I played my Martin acoustic for the first of two sessions and it stayed in tune the whole time.
I weighed 87.15 kilos before breakfast.
Around midday I uploaded to YouTube my Batgirl 13 video, edited from season 3, episode 13 of Batman and featuring only the Batgirl scenes.
I weighed 86.8 kilos before lunch.
In the afternoon I took a bike ride downtown and back. I wore jeans instead of shorts and had an open long sleeved shirt on over my tank top.
I weighed 86.65 kilos at 17:54.
I was caught up in my journal at 18:50.
In the Movie Maker project to create a video for the studio recording of my song “Paranoiac Utopia” I continued to edit the video I shot on Friday. I deleted about five minutes and there are 15 minutes left to look at.
In my “2024-10-07 Song Practice” Movie Maker project I deleted all the songs that come before “Élisa”. I then started an “Élisa” Movie Maker project, deleted all the songs that come after, adjusted the audio-video sound balance, added a fade-to-black effect, and published the movie. I harvested one thumbnail from the video and tomorrow I’ll do some more before uploading it to YouTube.
I had a potato with gravy and six pork ribs while watching episode 20 of The Brady Bunch.
Marcia has just gotten braces and now feels ugly. The school dance is in two weeks and she is going with Alan but now thinks he would be embarrassed to be seen with her. Then she thinks her fears are confirmed when Alan comes to announce he can’t take her because his parents have to go out of town that weekend. She believes he’s lying and just doesn’t want to be seen with her. Carol gets the idea to ask her friend’s son Harold to take Marcia to the dance. Then her brother Greg bribes his friend Joey, who wants help with his Physics. Then Alice pays the supermarket delivery boy Eddie to ask her. All three boys show up to see her at the same time and she feels empowered until she finds out that they’ve all been bribed. Then Alan comes to tell her his parents are not leaving after all and that he can still take her to the dance. At first she thinks he’s been bribed as well but he tells her she acts crazy sometimes but she’s still the grooviest looking girl in the whole school. That convinces her and then the night of the dance he reveals that he just got braces too.
One of the singers of the Brady Bunch theme song was Paul Parrish, who was also a songwriter and a solo artist. He wrote songs for Helen Reddy and Kenny Rogers among others. His first album was The Forest of My Mind and it got good reviews as a collection of sunny folk songs. His song “A Poem I Wrote for Your Hair” was featured in the 1970 movie Fools. His second album was Songs. His third album was Song for a Young Girl and the title song was popular in the Philippines. In the mid 1980s he formed a duo with Lorenzo Toppano and their albums The Royal Falcon and The Shores of This Great Ocean were hits in Europe and especially Germany.
