3 out of the first 4 days at Friends this week, possibly 4. That means probably no posts during that time. So, to ebrief:
yesterday---decided not to visit La Flaca last night (that was my original intention) and went to see The Other Side of Hope, the Finnish movie at he Bunin theater in Lincoln Center, Very glad i did; it is a high quality movie; it moves very slowly as it sets up its plot; there are basically two narratives that have to bond, but once these narratives do bond, the movie is subtle, compassionate, moving and meaningful.The story of a Syrian refugee trying to re start his life in Finland, is juxtaposed with that of an older, rigid man, who buys a restaurant and tries to make it work. Beautifully shot, very real characters---I was constantly involved.
Afterwards, too tired to hang out, simply returned home and made my way through the cold night.
When I leave this library, I will probably head to Bushwick to watch the first of two wild card NFL elimination games---after that not sure---the cold is still with us, even though, as I crossed 42nd and 6th avenue, the sun's warmth for a short time enveloped me.
Interesting that for all my interest in the Wild Card playoffs, I did not suffer for seeing neither of yesterday's games.
That is all for now---will report soon.
