so what happened....

well, I stayed in New Year's Eve, a bit of a first for me, for a number of reasons.
One, was physically tired.
Two: last year's visits to South fourth and La flaca were not very fulfilling, felt like I was just there to get the evening over with---did not care to repeat, though, who knows, different people might have brought different reuslts.
Three: subway riding on the eve seemed a little dangerous in light of all the recent craziness,  in past years have traveled the J late at night, between my two hang outs, did not like the idea of doing it this year, plus, fatigue factor set in.
Still, ultimately there is something hateful about having to do "something" on New Years' Eve, feel that things are simply beyond my control, in that matter. Read a lot of Philip Roth at home (Ghost Writer) and found it very fulfilling---maybe staying home was for the best.
Yesterday, lots of waiting until 2, then the Singer's annual party, had a real good time, good conversations, a good sense of my identity---always nice to chat with the Saengers. Afterwards tired, but went to Huston retrospective movie, We Were Strangers at Walter Reade---a good grade B movie, somewhat predictable, well photographed, always like watching John Garfield,  still the movie was nothing new, maybe I should accept that a retrospective is just that, sometimes simply adequate movies that show what a director could do.
Today, a tired day, not sure what I will do, should possibly visit La Flaca later, have not checked in their in a while, there is also some traveling in Brooklyn that might be interesting--and movies...? Well, I should see Selma at some point, but there are other quirky movies around as well.
Will check in tomorrow....
