not much. Worked yesterday---off today but will spend the next four work days at Friends. Evenings of the last two days have been uneventful, even on the day I did not work I returned home at around 7, and remained there as I prepared for Tuesday. Yesterday I was tired and went to sleep sometime around 8---got up a few times during the evening---not much else to report.
Do I want to see the movie at Metrograph about Aleppo.? Possibly will go tonight---hard to deal with what I have read is the blood shed and agony there, but maybe I should confront it. If not today, when else?
For Friday, I have just been offered a comp to Mourning Becomes Elecktra, the O'Neill play from the thirties that Target Margin is reviving with a unique cast. The complete play runs about 5 hours---at Abrons Arts, apparently it makes use of all three theater spaces that are there. On Friday I had a fairly easy program to sub for, but yesterday I also added to classes on the Chinese program. One might be small, but the other is probably the fifth grade class. Could be energy consuming. At any rate, the play begins at 4---I should be out of Friends by 3:10---will have to scurry down to Abrons to make it. Maybe just jump on the Avenue A bus, or maybe just make a run down first avenue myself.
We shall see.
Had a strange dream the night before this one. I am traveling into Long Island by train---suddenly I find myself off of the train in a deserted suburban landscape-lots of trees, maybe a house--how will I get back to Manhattan in time for today's sub assignment? A sense of panic and bewilderment---I wake up and have to remind myself that I am not in Long Island, but here in Manhattan and that it will be very easy to arrive on time at Friends. Not quite clear what the whole thing means---both a feeling of being deserted in LI, but also intrigued by the greeness of the trees and the fullness of suburban space. Of course, once I was in gear and focusing on the day, all was forgotten, but still the dream sticks in my mind.
That is it for now---just returned from Barnes and Nobles on 82nd street---lots of books there that I would like to read. Will see what happens...
