On Wednesday morning I worked out the chords for the first two lines of the third verse of “L'anguille (The Eel)” by Boris Vian.
I memorized and translated the third verse of “Les anthropophages” (The Cannibals) by Serge Gainsbourg. There is just one verse remaining to drill into my head so there’s a good chance I’ll be done tomorrow.
I weighed 90.15 kilos before breakfast.
I played my Martin during song practice and it went out of tune just after starting every song except for once when it stayed almost in tune for a whole number.
Around midday I painted the second coat of “blue bliss” on the outer outlines of the four floral reliefs on my round mirror frame. On Friday I’ll do the inner outlines and that will probably complete the blue part of the frame. The floral reliefs will be in the pink shade called “crazy in love”.
I weighed 90.95 kilos before lunch. I had saltines with peanut butter and five-year-old cheddar with a glass of limeade.
In the afternoon I took a bike ride downtown and on the way back stopped at Freshco to get seven bags of grapes, which I price matched with the Real Canadian Superstore price of $4.39 a kilo.
I weighed 90.65 kilos at 18:10.
I was more than a day behind in my journal so I worked on getting caught up but was still behind at suppertime.
I made pizza on a slice of multigrain sandwich bread with marinara, tomato pesto, a sliced hot Italian sausage, and five-year-old cheddar. I had it with a glass of Creemore while watching episode 4 of Wednesday with my daughter Astrid on Discord.
I found the first five minutes confusing and couldn’t tell what was going on until I realized that I’d somehow zoomed in on my screen. Once I’d gotten the images the right size, Astrid was kind enough to start over.
Wednesday and Thing break into the morgue to examine a victim of the monster she’d previously encountered. When the coroner comes in she hides in one of the drawers as a corpse. He opens it and determines she’s been dead for a while and can wait to be cut open until tomorrow. When Thing tries to let her out she asks for five more minutes because she’s finding it very relaxing.
In exotic plant class Wednesday sees vicious scratch marks in Xavier’s neck and decides to follow him. She finds that he has a secret shack in the woods that he uses for an art studio. There are lots of drawings of the monster. When Xavier discovers her near the shack he wonders what she’s doing there. She makes up the excuse that she wants to invite him to the dance. He wants to hear her formally invite him and it’s a painful process for her.
Wednesday shows the sheriff Xavier’s drawing of the monster without naming him. She suggests they work together in the investigation and he is reluctant. He tells her to bring him more solid evidence.
Wednesday asks Xavier how he made drawings of the monster and he said he saw it in a dream. When he finds out why she asked him to the dance he is insulted and calls off the date. Wednesday ends up going with the sheriff’s son Tyler.
Xavier goes to the dance with Bianca.
Wednesday does a crazy zombie dance.
Xavier asks Bianca to remove her inhibiting amulet and use her siren powers to make him forget Wednesday but she refuses and leaves him.
Three local teenagers including the mayor’s son who escorted Enid, pump red paint into the sprinkler system. The scene is obviously a salute to Carrie. When Wednesday sees the red rain she smiles but then is disappointed that they didn’t shell out for pig’s blood.
Wednesday has a vision that Eugene is in danger. She runs to the woods but he is attacked by the monster before she gets there. She finds him either unconscious or dead. Which one is the cliffhanger.
Bianca is played by Joy Sunday, who has an Honours degree in Critical Studies from the University of Southern California School of Cinema Arts. She made her TV debut in an episode of MacGyver. She wrote and directed the short films Beautiful Hair and Darling. She plays Jodie Plumb in the show DTF St. Louis.
