so here we are...

Monday morning, the coldest day of the year. Rest of the weekend: Saturday, returned to apartment exhausted---not much to say----did not sleep well, sort of mirrored the Sunday before, where my lack of sleep was anticipated by the Boston trip. In this case, it wasn't, but it did not stop me from having a productive session with two students. Today, no students, library work in the afternoon at Friends.
Yesterday, after sessions, went to my friend (and fellow Hopkins graduate) Michael H's birthday party, at Amirichi, an African restaurant situated in a downtown Brooklyn high rise (irony) that seemed to serve mostly afro-american middle class restaurant goers. Took me forever to find it, really frustrating, but once there, Michael and his two friends were extremely welcoming. Good conversation with one of his friends about cities changing and also recommended to him the Baltimore Sun series of articles about catching a killer.
Walked with Michael to Hoyt Street Station where I picked up the three, then got off at Houston Street on the way home, somehow, had the need to look at the Film Forum schedule. Read it on the train going home---nothing very interesting in that---slept okay, only woke up to no heat---that has been restored and hopefully there will be no more problems in that area.
Really all for now---lots of time to kill before arriving at Friends, do not want to return to the house, should stop by Old Navy and pick up some undershirts, and maybe even a better winter coat than the one that I have now. Then, on to Friends.....
Still struggling with COIL schedule, not sure which days I will be too exhausted to see these project,will try to see Frank's and Rachel's towards the end, and if possible , check out Frank's earlier as well. That's all
