Up 6. Breakfast.
Idly tried to watch a Hulu drama called Little Fires Anywhere, but couldn’t hack it, won’t continue. Watched 30 of The Green Years (Os Verdes Anos, Rocha 1963) instead; much better. (Coincidentally, my dad mentioned an autobiographical book by A.J. Cronin recently w/ the same [English] title.
Worked at E77 9-11:30. Slow, but coalescing.
Somewhat aimless afternoon, couldn’t get going on podcast prep, kept finding something else to “do.” Eventually read 1/2 of Nella Larsen’s Passing (it’s very short), b/c I want to see the current film adaptation in the next few days.
Roasted butternut squash and poached salmon. Watched Rocha to halfway point, made more coffee, finished Unmark. “The woman is divided into an arctic region and a subarctic region.”
Prepped for podcast interview 6-9 pm; ended up learning the guitar part to Taylor Swift’s “We Are Never Getting Back Together,” looking up sheet music for “Tracks of My Tears,” and refamiliarizing myself w/ several recordings of “I Ain’t Got Nobody.” Had a phone call w/ Elizabeth, about 30 min.
Finished Passing in the evening. Will try to get back to Mackey and Lakatos (and Charters on Bert Williams) after the recording is done tomorrow.
Lights out 11.
