Up 8:30 - did the crossword, breakfast/coffee, worked 10:30-1:30.

Practiced piano around 2. Scales, chord etude around the circle of fifths, played through the head of “Donna Lee” and several choruses of “Everything Happens to Me” w/ metronome - hard, really shows you where you’re slacking. Played a slow, dissonantly reharmonizes version of “Everything’s Coming Up Roses.” Kinda fit my mood, as I spent too much of the day in a funk over some online exchanges and reminders of my sense of personal failure. Managed to articulate this to Bree, which helped, as did a DM exchange w/ a friend. Feel quite a bit better.

Only read 25 p. of Prof. Schlick, and didn’t get to Carnap. Also way behind on email.

Made a bandcamp purchase for jubilee Friday (of items I’d put in the cart off and on since the last one). Unreleased Anthony Moore album (from the ‘80s?), Cecil Taylor/Tony Oxley duo, Wyatt’s ’68 demos, Bless the Mad (Chicago hip-hop collective that uses AACM samples), Shelley Hirsch, both Supercollider albums (though I turned up the CDs recently), Anemone (another out duo, Andrew Barker/Jon Irabagon), and Michael Moore (of ICP/Clusone 3) w/ a Dutch big band.

Trash/recycling, short walk around 10, had idea for the next step/paragraph, wrote some quick notes when I came in.

3 one-page JA poems, very slight. “In world aesthetics, a bundle in the straw.”
