Peaceful weekend
1. I watched "Grapes of Wrath", the Henry Fonda version. It was really good. I've never read the book, and found the story quite interesting.
2. Got a haircut and did some errands/writing and watched "9 to 5". I have no idea why this movie is not a feminist classic! The three characters, played by Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, enact a revenge on their sexist, bigotted hypocritical boss. It's quite clever and Dolly Parton is absolutely adorable.
3. I won tickets to Stuart MacLean through our staff raffle, so I took Ian with me to see the show. (Stuart MacLean is the Canadian version of Garrison Keillor, but he's not as corny and his stories are much funnier)
His stage show was quite good and the auditorium was packed. His musical guests were Danny Michel and Dala, and they put on an old time variety show, which was entertaining.
****
Today I am voting, even though the whole Alberta election depresses me. The conservative party has ruled Alberta for 37 years, and there is very little chance that anyone else will have a hope in hell of winning. Most of the candidates in my riding are quite weak. Being a socialist in a conservative province is not a lot of fun. :(
