have just come from a tutoring session with Mila (the intractable one) Feeling very up as I walked from Fulton and Cambridge Place to the main library where I sit now. Somehow a much more focused feeling then I experienced last Thursday when I was here for two hours. Yes, a good tutoring session really changes my attitude, makes me feel much more focused and proud of myself.
Not sure how day will continue, but essentially feeling very optimistic about it.
Saturday, did go to Clubbed Thumb, Men in Boats, essentially liked it, a little gimmicky, but great to watch the 10 talented actresses do their thing, stage full of life. Afterwards spoke to Kristen; enjoyed our short conversation, she was very nice---then went to Bean for coffee and a buttered bagel, which seemed to be more appropriate then a beer.
Yesterday---interesting day, saw The Flick in the afternoon, resistant to experienceing it, yet if you give it time, it becomes meaningful. Annie Baker is so skillful at creating full portraits of people, the play was beautifully acted, all three hours and twenty minutes of it---can't believe that two hours after that another performance started. Afterwards went to Formerly Crows, a bar that I don't often visit, but had a good time and watched some of the Met game, spoke to a few people who are also connected with South Fourth (same owner). The place has a relaxed vibe which was good for me.
Then checked in at Sweetwater, only to find out that Shayla had worked the afternoon, so headed over to South Fourth where the usual suspects were holding forth. Stayed there about 3 hours, watched some baseball, another interesting talk with Phoebe, talked a bit with late bartender Dylan, a really nice guy who is leaving for two months. Went home feeling far more fulfilled than I had on Saturday---that evening (saturday) I had trouble falling asleep---have to remember that I should feel
VERY tired before I decide to return home
Again not sure about tonight, should check Shakespeare in the Park calendar, don't want to see it tonight, think I will head to Dive Bar (95th and Amstedam) and continue dialogue with bartender
Rebecca, while I watch some baseball.. Good place, but I do fear that the bathroom will break down again, causing (for me) havoc. Well, we will see,,,
