Today I bought some books to learn Portuguese. First I went to this Portuguese bookstore near St. Clair & Lansdowne. They had a lot of religious stuff there. (I keep Catholicism at arm's length, but I do have a soft spot for stories about a saint's life.) I got a visual dictionary for children showing the word for things in Portuguese, English, French, German and Spanish. I also got a children's picture book of folktales. They were fairly pricey: a fool and his money are soon parted.
This evening I went to Indigo Books near Bay station and got two more books: one each from the Teach Yourself and _____ for Dummies series. (I also got the magazine CANADA'S HISTORY, which I still think of by its old name THE BEAVER.)
Afterward I went to the Fox and Fiddle near St. George station and did karaoke with a combination of the Fun Lovers Meetup and the INTJ Meetup. The latter refers to people who register as introverted, intuitive, thoughtful and judgmental on the Meyers-Briggs personality test. I think I'm more ISTJ--sensory rather than intuitive--but I may be on the cusp.
At karaoke I sang the Thompson Twins' "Hold Me Now" and Gordon Lightfoot's "Canadian Railroad Trilogy." They have an excellent playlist there, including over a dozen Gordon Lightfoot songs!
