Monday...mild

next to Normal---really enraged me---cannot understand how people can find something valuable in the musical---it simply puts the main character in a cage---she is completely intellectualized. Music not bad, but two major Rent ripoffs. Audience loved it---well very industry oriented. then went up to Toast (the old toast on 125 street) was hungry, needed the salad and the chicken, but ended up paying too much, no interesting conversation, which is what I hoped for---awoke this morning restless, but enjoyed doing some reading at Cosi, lots of stuff for John's classes to work on this week---will probably read and travel all today, taking advantage of the good weather---will try to visit the O'Debra sisters tonight----really want to check in on Diane and Nick...tomorrow do some more preparing for classes at Friends.
