busy day....

yesterday----first a walk in the heat to Jack and also a walk in search of a Chase Bank. Did not find one. Took Fulton Street bus to Nostrand, but could find nothing in this newly gentrified area---waited for bus to take me back to Fulton and Waverly---but did not come, so I walked the full distance in the heat.
Meeting very productive, met a lot of interesting people, glad I came, anti gentrification network taking shape. Not sure what role I will play in it---still ambivalent about marching (although less so with current Mayor) but offered to do some important office work for the group-- just inputting new members; I could do that very well.
Problem still haunts me---to be of it and not of it. Explanation later.....
Saturday evening---a play at HERE called At the Table---unique for me because I knew no one in the cast or involved in it; simply seemed interesting. It was---eight actors played with incredible authenticity in this play which dealt, to some extent, with privilege and the role race plays in it. Was glad I saw it---strange to see a "straightforward" play, that is one in which the narrative never shifted.
Afterwards, walked to Sixth Ave and Houston, had a pizza slice, too tired to "hang out" decided instead to go home---usual problems with sleeping, however that did not deter me from the long day I had yesterday in Brooklyn.
After meeting, walked up to Plan B where I had a beer and watched Yankee baseball, left (possibly without signing debit card check) and then felt very hungry as I walked to the Chase (finally) at Flatbush and Grand Army Plaza. Then bus to BARK, a nice hamburger decided to attend BAM film called Sherman's March---but it was at 7, and it was only 5 when I bought the ticket. What to do..?
Read a lot of Atticus Lish's novel, very strong---and had an ice coffee at Annex, that new place on Fulton, that everyone seems to go to.
Movie was bland---I guess you can say disappointing, however, I did not feel emotionally ready to absorb the Amy WInehouse movie, which was my other choice. The blandness of the Sherman movie was much more suited to my mood, so when I left after an hour, I was not particularly upset. Lots of attendance for the movie at BAM, surprised---theater was over five sixths filled---must be a lot of interest in the revivals that the cinematheque shows. Took the long and winding subway home, still had trouble sleeping, even with all the tiredness my body was experiencing. What can you say...got to see it through.
Finally used Fan which I have been withholding from myself and it made a big difference.
Today, after library, not sure---do not want to go to a movie today----going to a reading at Bushwick Starr tonight, should be fun--will probably rest before hand, but maybe not...should finish the Lish novel, as it is due on Wednesday. That's all for now...
