(From Martin's Journal)
i am making arrangements for a birthday party for joy next week. i wrote the ensemble polyphonique de france to see if they would come to perform some renaissance music. i am doing some research to see what food would be appropriate, the type of food eaten in france during this period. herbert is flying to paris to buy a gown of the period as a gift. we are all going to be dressed in the fashions of the london of the 1920s.
i am painting a portrait of thomas. thomas is a good-looking chap with dark-brown hair and gorgeous brown eyes. he is muscular but only to the point of being attractive. he is sexy in shorts. he has been sitting for the portrait in his office at the university.
(From My Journal)
This evening we had a dinner to honor Thomas' birthday. It was a quiet meal that we ate in the ballroom. Andre-Richard cooked stuffed cactus and kangaroo-rat steaks, we drank fig juice with this.
After dinner we had a troupe perform Caligula by Camus, one of Thomas' favorite plays.
Following are the gifts that he got: I gave him a book on Escher. Martin gave him a painting to be used as a cover for his next book, Geometry Without Toothaches (a parody on the text books on many subjects "without headaches"). Herbert gave him a copy of Three Lives by Gertrude Stein. Andre-Richard gave him a ring designed by Pierre Saint-Klein. The design of the ring was 3.14159,with the numerals inlaid in platinum and a ruby for the decimal.
