a very hot day..

I have already been out and bought shoes at the Payless on 6th Avenue and 18th street. Actually did not get the ones that I hoped were there--sneakers at 8 or 8.5. But they did have some strong support sneakers at 7 and a half, and I am wearing them now. Felt in light of the brutal heat, and that I need good walking shoes for tomorrow's practice walk through Brooklyn, I had to make a move. I am wearing the sneakers right now---a very strong base on the feet, but some pushing against my upper foot. Can I survive this and not return them? I have to have strong shoes for tomorrow's walk. I think this will probably work.
 Yesterday, yes that intense walk down fourth avenue made me tired in the afternoon, but I recovered and decided to see Generation Wealth at the Bunin. A strange movie---not too satisfying, L. Greenfield, the director chronicles the existence of four or five subjects who were drowning in money at one point (a porn star, hedge fund stud, a woman hungry for a face lift) and shows how ultimately they dealt with the emptiness at the end of their wealth cycle. Very specific choices, I don't know if they were really valid---also, too much about Ms. Greenfield, herself without a great deal of insight. Left the movie feeling a bit cheated.
  After that, I was not in a bar mood (or anxious to spend money in a bar) so I opted for the Greek diner that I sometimes go to on Broadway near 95th street---the one of the three of four on Broadway that I feel most comfortable in. I had a nice blt, not too expensive (but of course, I only ordered water with it) and then returned to the apartment. During the night, woke up feeling kind of annoyed and empty---the diner may have been a good choice at the moment, but somehow, I could have used more excitement---if I don't have that, I feel restless and frustrated when I wake in the early part of the morning.
  And today, for the rest of the day, what? Might check out the play Love at the Ohio Space, but have to make the decision soon. Maybe I should try MOMA in the evening, when it is free; I very rarely get a chance to go there. There is always my friends at La Flaca, or Standings---should check in with my friend Erin at some time soon (she is at Burp Castle next door). Well, still a lot of choices and decisions---should not be too frenetic this evening because I will definitely need some rest before the long walk tomorrow.
Should be able to report.
