Up 9.
Form notes on 10 songs.
Left around 11:30. Read Okiji on train, off and on throughout day.
Coffee.
Worked on introduction from about 12:30-5. Strategic reshuffling, mainly. Elizabeth Newton wrote to ask if I could read a few p. of her diss, on ontology.
Took train to Astoria to pick up book and notebook I left at Let Love Inn. Oddly, they were playing Gang of Four when I walked in. Had a slice nearby, home by 7.
Wasted an hr. Tidied office, took out recycling, worked on taxes 8-10. Making progress. Ordered some pants online w/ a gift card my dad’s brother gave me for Christmas.
Half-watched the rest of Larceny and Manhandled (Lewis R. Foster 1949), also w/ Duryea (+ Sterling Hayden, Dorothy Lamour) during most of the above.
Couldn’t listen to music b/c I can’t find the phone adapter for my headphones. Did turn up memo notebook I hadn’t seen for a few days.
Read a little more Ojiki. Lights out 11:30.
[Didn’t - read a journal article. Forgot.]
I have fewer commitments (gigs, rehearsals) the rest of this month - between that and not having to go out for my dad’s surgery, it feels like I might be able to write more consistently between now and mid-May than I have since the last time I got back from CA; and perhaps break ground on languishing musical projects. Guarded optimism.
