But what does cityboy really want..?

Not sure---woke up today and immediately scotched the idea of going to the Philharmonic 10 A.M. rehearsal---body too tired, but also did not want to spend the money. Then determined, that, even though there were theater projects that interested me, I would pass for today---save my money, just wanted to live an "unplanned" day---let things happen, probably end up in Brooklyn doing some reading. But now, all of a sudden--tomorrow is taking shape (Sunday is already planned--watching football) and a part of me feels that maybe I should see something tonight. I came very close to booking tickets to an off beat project at Jack, one of my favorite experimental venues in Brooklyn, but at the last moment, decided against it. Why? Not sure---Anyway, that is where I am at the moment.
  Last night, decided against seeing the opera Wozzeck at the Met---just did not want to experience it, instead went to see the movie starring Adam Sandler called Uncut Gems. A ferocious movie about a compulsive liar and gambler who makes his own rules---it was very well mde---everything moves quickly and with a lot of power. The "hero' is a hateful guy--one is amazed at how he invents his own world constantly at the expense of others, but I am sure there are really people like that---locked into their own reality.
 What was also interesting was that the only time available for me was in a theater on 60th street and 3rd avenue---it has three screens. So I took the 66th street crosstown to Madison and walked the rest of the way. I never travel on that part of the east side---it almost seems like another county to me---still, it was interesting to try to find the small buildings that still exist around the many high rises that dominate the area, I remember in the late sixties and seventies when several movie theaters in that area were the ones that ha the first runs---most of them are gone now. This theater had great seats, very comfortable, but senior tickets were $16.00---I did not like that but wanted very much to see the movie, so I payed.
  That is all for now---time to figure out where I am going for the rest of the day, will report soon.
