not much....

happened last night, tired after second session, would have loved to have gone to Landowne Road to hang with the twins, but could only make it to Dive Bar on 96th and Amsterdam. Not too crowded, but could not get a place at the bar---settled in at a table, watched the Mets game and ordered their big BLT. Not much contact with anyone, place seems kind of cold when you don't talk to anyone, anyway, I was tired and wanted to get home fairly early--had not trouble falling asleep.
    I awoke at around 4 A.m. to what seemed to me to be a terrible smell---somewhat gaseous---really got me nervous, at 4, no one you can really contact. Walked outside a bit, wondered if the smell was coming from the tenant living downstairs from me---a recluse who refuses to answer his door---runs the air conditioning on all night---I thought it might be some fumes from his air conditioner that escaped---but as the night went on, things improved, may be my apartment just needs to be soaped down (that will happen next week)---my next door neighbor came in at around 9 and could not smell anything---maybe it is just the oldness of my apartment, but still very apprehensive last night. Feel better now.
    Not much else to report, as usual, trying to put together some plans for the weekend, in other words, what shows to see and where. Going to Clubbed Thumb on Tuesday was a good move---now really only the Chekhov piece at Invisible Dog is a must---may have more time than I thought towards the end of next week. Tonight there should be a "good bye" party for the Friends faculty at some bar nearby (won't be at Mumbles, which has finally shut down)  that I attend every year, rejecting BAN meeting and a very interesting film at Bronx Doc to go to it, but I really like the vibe there, and it is nice to say goodbye to everyone for the summer. Anyway, one of my friends on the faculty will give me the word where it is, if it happens.
