November 14 Tuesday

Brought the movie camera to school, filmed abit in the back parking lot. Lunch-Ralph, Dave, Linda, Ruth, Gail A, Lesley and I went to the C.C. in the door to the YMCA, filmed. Lesley and Gail went in, the rest of us went in. Sat downstairs outside Data. French-Kalf away, Ralph and I wrote a dialogue in English and Dutch. Math-Andy and Mike back. After Ralph got the bus just to get his bike back from my place. [....Went to Alan's to pick up my bike; he let out the air in my front tire because I accidentally broke his watch yesterday during "F". Nobody could find Dave after he did half a cap of mesc off Bev C. in "H" block. [Who was Bev C.?] He'd planned to go to Pierrefonds Comp. to look for goodies with Linda and Christine].

 

 

English-Dutch dialogue between Ralph and I November 14, 1972

 

Hello Ralph. Hallo Alan

We can't go there. He won't be home.

Waar gaat hij nu eveer naar toe? (Where's he going to be?)

To Pierrefonds Comp. to see someone.

Kunnen we daan naar Lesley's huis? (Are we going to Lesley's then?)

We could, but there's not much to do.

Wat gieft dat, er is tock noit eits doer. (What does that matter, there's nothing to do anywhere)

That's true, we could always go downtown.

Wat is in de staat doen, anders dan grass toe kopen. (What's there to do downtown, other than buying ****)

Well it's worth it, anyway I'll phone you later, ok?

C'est bien, au revoir Alan.

We sat outside the coffee shop. Richard left at 9, I left at 9:20. [the filming done this day is probably the Star Trek ("Who Mourns for Adonis") shot off the TV...]
