a better day for me...

seems ahead, as my body feels much stronger at the moment. Also, I received my first assignment from Friends, yesterday afternoon. It is for next Friday (the 13th) and I can't wait! Need some structure---would love to do some other work there next week as well. But this puts things back in place. so I feel good about that.
 Yesterday, did not leave the area for a second day in a row (somewhat of a record for me) but did end up seeing a movie in the evening---a movie that I actually loved called Genese. It was playing at the Bunin (the screen situated in Lincoln Center) and I went really because it was the most accessible movie available to me, but it turned out well. It takes place in Quebec and follows a brother and a sister in separate incidents. Ironically, they only have one scene together near the beginning of the movie. He is a smart alec but very bright high school student at a boarding school and she is a college student about to break up with her boy friend and have some adventures. The movie flows easily and is really beautiful to look at---all the scenes for brother and sister seem very natural and relaxed. There is much rage and heart break, but all of it is justified. The movie ends with a quiet coda---the last 15 minutes are not about the siblings but take place in a summer camp nearby with students who are just beginning high school. A very innocent love affair takes place--all ends happily as the movie ends. Was very moved by the whole thing--very glad I went---this was the last showing---really glad I caught it. Much more natural than Give Me Liberty the last Indie movie that I saw which compared to Genese seemed forced and contrived. Went home feeling good.
  Today, the tentative plan is to once again try to go to see the project at the Bushwick Starr---second choice: hanging out at La Flaca---checking in with my friend who owns it---Bob. What will happen..? We will see.
