Up at 7, watched clips from the “at home” SNL. They tried.
Went back to bed until 9:30. Let myself start the day late.
Form notes, 10 R&B song (inc. Fats Domino’s first appearance, with “The Fat Man” - 10 and 8-bar sections on New Orleans changes rathe than the standard 12-bar blues.)
Read the first piece in Jalal Toufic, Two of Three Things I’m Dying to Tell You.
Exercise. Walk.
Worked about noon-2. Got stuck early, really crawled. Maybe knowing I had a graf in reserve - the one I didn’t send yesterday - had a psychological effect.
Read Toufic about 3-4. Write 100 words of something else from a prompt.
Called dad, but need to call back to talk to nurse for an update on discharge. Did that around 5; maybe tomorrow. They’re still trying to figure out how to balance his sodium and his blood pressure; he’s started a medication for the latter. I think a nephrologist also saw him today. Wrote an update email to several family members.
2nd walk around 6.
Wrote mixing notes on 3 more songs.
Finally watched the Mike Davis teach-in video from a couple weeks ago. Informative - though as of its recording, Bernie Sanders had not “hung up his colors,” so that makes some of his comments on the getting Medicare for All into the Democratic platform optimistic.
Watched about 20 min of Isidore Isou’s Venom and Eternity (1951) on Mubi. More watchable than its rep - I just know it from a description in Lipstick Traces. It’s also on Ubuweb, but this is a restoration.
Listened to some of Dylan Hicks’ Judy Collins playlist.
Watched some Jimmie Dean w/ Bree.
Lights out about 11. Not a big day.
