1/4

Couldn’t sleep. Got up around 2, started reading Brenda Lozano, Loop. 
Up about 9. Usual breakfast, coffee.
Played through the Wyatt a little more. Told Bree I’d be singing it on Zoom around 10 pm tonight (it’s around when she goes to bed).
Worked 11-1; I’m ok w/ this section (which I got down to 2100 words), except for a couple of footnotes.
Not sure I accomplished much between 1-3. (I have been online a lot today.)
Therapy.
Spend 15-20 min. making a chord chart of the Superchunk song. Would have liked to try another recording pass, but didn’t get there.
Started cooking a lamb shank (w/ tomato sauce, onions, cumin, harissa, some broth) around 5, got it in the oven before 6; sort of an experiment in using a small La Crueset Bree’s mom gave us long ago.
Listened to News From Babel (Cutler/Krause/Cooper &co.), Sirens & Silences/Work Resumed on the Tower.
Went back to the concluding ch. of the section, but didn’t quite fix/finish what I needed to.
Ate around 7:30. Turned out well. Read a review of a sound studies book by my acquaintance Kevin Bozelka (the review, not the book); and one of Christgau’s last 2 collections, which I have but haven’t read, by Dai Griffiths. Tried to start reading a metaphysics paper on identity, wasn’t grabbed.
Listened to the Wyatt song 4 or 5 times to get it more firmly in my head, while paying bills deleting emails. (Got from 480-something to 345.) Ran through the song a couple more times.
Douglas Wolk’s Zoom birthday party 10-11:30 pm. Sang my song early, seemed to go ok; also poems by Sharon Mesmer and Stephanie Burt, other musical performances, talks on baked beans, early UK video games, and drawing (shading), and a video of one of Douglas and his wife Lisa’s old band’s covering Art Ensemble of Chicago’s “Theme de Yoyo.” Adult show-and-tell basically. Good to see people.
Short walk outside. Lights out midnight — too tired for Ashbery or poetry notebook. Tomorrow.
