three sessions.....

(pretty fruitful) have finished, now, kind of exhausted, have the rest of the day to myself. Must leave the upper west side--maybe La Flaca, maybe some place in Brooklyn, will let it happen. A lot depends on how strong I feel for the rest of the day.
  Last night--got to see the movie at the Bunin---the South Korean one that was shown at the Film Festival. It is beautiful to look at, very well composed, excellent sense of color. Film concerns an actress trying to find herself---feeling at times, very empty--lots of conversations with friends that seem to simply fill up space---there is a slow and static feeling to the movie. Finally, at the end, a confrontation with a director who had used her in his movies, and with whom (we think) she recently ended a tumultuous affair. That goes very quickly, and the movie ends with her possible suicide. I daydreamed a lot through it then returned to its essence. Some reviewers found it amazing--I really don't understand why---one can truly admire it---but it is so static. Well, it was a movie that I wanted to check out---will I see one today, or tomorrow. Can't say.
  Nothing else really happening---the long weekend ends tomorrow---a BAN meeting on Monday, which I will attend if there is no work.
Did read a very interesting non fiction work by a guy named Brandon Harris. His book, Making rent in Bed Stuy, is a very well written memoir about the several places in that area that he survived in between 2004, and 2015. Some very perceptive comments about the changes in that area as it gentrified. Actually, I had met him at Soda Bar about seven years ago, when he was dating one of its bartenders (she is actually in the book), and from those encounters, never expected this kind of telling statement. He really has a lot to be proud of. Maybe I can find him at one of the Brooklyn bars that he probably hangs out in, and continue our conversation. Something to look forward to.
  Had to get that statement in---will report soon on everything else....
