what a full weekend and i am tired of not sleeping well and i am sorry its over. There are no more chances of trying to catch up on sleep on the weekend when monday morning rolls around. Its smack into a new work week.. I think i am desperate for a vacation and time away.
saturday rolled around and i lounged around in the morning and headed into Manhattan with grandious plans. the Q train was stopping on the R line so i got off at 8th street and walked the street fair to 14th street. I shopped and bought some stuff, including some presents for suzi's bday (if she is reading this) and went to the green market. bought a bag of apples for the guys at the used Cd store and didnt stop at the GAP on 18th except to Pee.
I walked up broadway again, another street fair from 23rd to 34th and there was less to shop and more to eat. I was losing my patience and decided to stop for a soda and regroup. I decided to walk to 14th and try to go to prospect park for the kids show and maybe a movie. it started to sprinkle out and i decided to catch the 4pm showing of War of the Worlds.
Do i need to report, its a well made movie, if you like suspense and Sci -go for it_
if you cant stand screaming 10 year olds, TOM cruise with puppy dog eyes, the end of the world, invasion of aliens or terrorists and distorted views of boston
dont see it..
i could have lived without it.
the man leaving the theater with me, summed it up.. WHY? and all that Dakota Fanning screaming..
so i went thru the green market again and bought fresh broccoli and went home to cook it..
sunday.. started slow til i saw an ad in the flyer at best buy for a replacement for my dead dead dead creative nomad... they had a sale.. so i raced through a shower and went to Bay Friggin Parkway... I hate that store and they never have what i want..or come for.
Why should this trip be any different. I told both the wireless and customer store managers, that i will not shop there again. it really doesnt do any good, they dont give a shit.
so then i was dressed stopped at the grocery store and came home and cooked and ventured to manhattan to go to central park..
i ran into an asshole who was on the bleechers and left that area and found a spot to sit. A woman asked me not to sit on her blanket because she was expected "a lot of people" seems she spent most of the Citizen Cope set trying to convince this man to come over to central park and see the show. Her lots of people where two men, one for her and one for her friend. Man who shave their body hair, who are prettier than the girls they are with. Men who came over, had the women buy them lunch and beer and who probably know they will get laid. the things you see at free shows...
i really was there for the Blind Boys of ALabama and had to leave before their set was over... i had to get down to joes pub for "eddie from Ohio"
the set was good.. it was called "backstage on stage" and there were question and answer periods interspersed with the music..
something totally different, relaxed and appropriate to joes pub
i havent slept well this weekend, getting up frequently at night, i am tired and thought of staying home. but i am up and moving barely. i will make it through the day.
i have a busy week.. busier for me..
back to joes pub on Tuesday for Caitlin Cary and Thad Cockrell
Carole King at Radio city on Wednesday. Ozomatli in prospect park on thursday
PattY Griffin in King of Prussia on sunday
and the dentist on monday and a day off...
then there is FalCon Ridge... we are closing in on FRFF...
boy im tired thinking of it all
