            On Wednesday morning I gathered more images from the internet for my phot-video of “Les millionaires” by Serge Gainsbourg. 

            I weighed 91.05 kilos before breakfast. 

            I played my Gibson Les Paul Studio during song practice for the last of two sessions and it stayed in tune most of the time but not as much as yesterday. Tomorrow I’ll begin a two session stretch of playing my Kramer and we’ll see how the new tuner works on that. I tuned my Martin acoustic with it earlier and it was difficult. I find it needs to be slightly below dead-on the notes for the B and the high E. I was used to finding where that was with the old tuner. 

            I weighed 91.6 kilos before lunch. I had some of the potato and chicken soup that I made yesterday and added saltines. 

            In the afternoon I took a bike ride but because of the storm O’Hara was too slippery so I just went straight to Freshco along Queen. That was difficult as well but not as bad. I had to walk around a couple of cars. At the supermarket I bought three bags of cherries, some spinach, some broccoli, two packs of tofu, one container of Compliments vegetable broth and another of Campbells just to see if there was a difference. Once again I couldn’t find my Scene card at the cash. 

            I weighed 91.6 kilos at 17:40. 

            I spent an annoying hour trying figure out how I could access my Scene card without looking in my Gmail. I kept getting trapped in the Scene website and couldn’t get out. That happened several times. Finally I was able to put my card in Google Wallet and then I had to figure out how to have Google Wallet easily accessible. 

            I was caught up in my journal at 19:41. 

            I recorded from cassette tape through audio interface to Audacity and then extracted to my hard drive side one of Bomb Shelter Light’s demo tape. Bomb Shelter Light featured at least once at my The Orgasmic Alphabet Orgy writers open stage. The songs seem derivative of Nick Cave. 

            I cubed a pack of sautéed tofu, added the rest of the pho broth, and some chopped broccoli. After the broccoli was cooked I added a pack of kimchi ramen noodles and the herbs and spices that came with it. I had supper with a glass of Creemore while watching season 1, episode 24 of Combat. 

            Three journalists come to observe K Company in action. The most aggressive among them is Eleanora Hunt, who will do anything to get a story. Captain Smith tells Hanley and Saunders to look out for Hunt as she can do the war a lot of good. She’s one of the best magazine photographers in the business. 

            She goes out to an observation post with Saunders and Billy and complains she’s yet to hear a shot or see a dead German. Suddenly they are attacked by two Germans, who are killed. She jumps into a car carrying two resistance fighters and so Saunders gets in too as he’s been ordered to watch out for her. They drive back to the command post. 

            That night Eleanora sneaks off with the Maquis fighters to the nearby village of Trois Anges. K Company has to go after her. The people of the village misunderstand Eleanora’s presence there as being part of the liberation of the town. Everyone comes out to celebrate, which could tip off potential traitors who now would know who among them was with the resistance. Later they learn that the town has been occupied and Hanley and Saunders lead a squad to do reconnaissance. Eleanor tries to tag along in a commandeered jeep but agrees to wait outside the town. 

            A jeep is attacked and one of the men is killed. The two resistance fighters are found, one of them dead and the other dying. Eleanora is brought in and Saunders shows her the dead in a school and three members of the resistance hanging from church bells. 

            Later Eleanora mails Saunders a copy of the magazine containing her article and pictures. 

            One of the other journalists was played by Garry Walberg, whose film debut was in Gangster Story in 1959. His TV debut was on Rawhide in 1959. He played Sergeant Sullivan on five episodes of Johnny Stacatto. He appeared in the very first episode of The Twilight Zone. He played Sergeant Goddard in 33 episodes of Peyton Place. He played Hansen in the Star Trek episode “Balance of Terror”. He played Oscar’s poker buddy Homer on the sitcom The Odd Couple. He played Police Lieutenant Frank Monahan on all seven seasons of Quincy.
