cityboy in flux.....

Wednesday morning---cityboy faces a full day with no sessions are obligations. So what does that mean/ A plan, tentatively is to try to see Belle de Jour at the Film Forum this afternoon, and then see my friend Alaina's piece at the tank, this evening. Should not be difficult---still, things seem a little strange.
About Belle de Jour, a movie by Bunuel, I remember the first time that I saw it---labor day weekend, (believe it or not) 1968. I think I saw it with my friend Fred--at that time I was still working at Riverdale Children's Association (that job would end in about two months) and feeling kind of raw and alone. I was very interested in a woman about my age named Zita, I think I had a date with her planned for the Monday evening of Labor Day, which, at the last moment, she finked out of. I remember being very upset by this. Not much I could do. Those were the days when my relationships with women, really dominated my life. And now? Well, chill out, cityboy---you know what is going on now. Anyway, back to Belle de Jour, it will be interesting to see how I perceive it after this gap of time. How much did I miss the first time? Will my "experience" as an older person play into what I understand of it now. Well, we will see.
Yesterday evening---kind of quiet, after some deliberation, I decided that my best bet for the evening was to go to Lansdowne Road, the sports bar that I go to sometime on 10th Avenue and 44th street.  I had hoped to find my server friend Mel there, actually I went there to check in with her, but she was taking a day off; I was told that she and her twin Sinem, had just returned from Barcelona where they made a commercial. Very happy for them, they are a great set of twins---totally innocent of theater, but very talented. It's great that they got this work. All this info was given to me by a nice bartender named Alex. I could have left, but I decided to stay, watch some of the Toronto-Denver NBA game (really fast paced and lots of fun to watch) and fill myself up with their avocado salad. Other then the game and some nice talk with Alex, nothing much happened---the place was kind of quiet, actually, but the salad was great---glad to have a lot of greens---and I just sort of went with the flow.The 11 bus returned my to the apartment.
Any more to say---not at the moment---my time  may be running out on the computer---so I will report soon on the day's events.
