Stream of Consciousness

What do you blog about when you have nothing to blog about? The weather? Nothing is quite as sticky as NYC with high heat and humidity. I just wanna spend all day in a cool shower.

I’m so not enjoying looking for work. I’m optimistic. I just hate the whole process and the fact that just when I was starting to be content with life, I’ve been dealt more upheaval. There is never a time when life is easy.

I was gonna do this big arts event blog, but it was turning into a project. I’ll just post links. NewFest starts tomorrow. Not sure if I’ll get to any films but here’s the schedule. The JVC Jazz Festival begins in two weeks. The Signature Theatre Company will pay tribute to August Wilson by staging three of his plays this season. Billy Porter will spend his summer in my hometown working on a new play, Mixed Company. Further north, in western Massachusetts, Jacobs Pillow Dance Festival gets underway in about two weeks. Danny Glover is doing a benefit reading at NYU. Sheryl Lee Ralph will perform her own one-woman show at Aaron Davis Hall.

And speaking of HIV awareness, Frontline on PBS has an informative retrospective on the worldwide pandemic. You can watch the whole thing online starting Friday.

Did nothing Memorial Day weekend and I had a whole four days off. Caught an interesting French film classic. Otherwise sat around. I’d hoped to spend quality time with someone special but that didn’t happen. INSD.

Thought about a Memorial Day blog entry, but that didn’t happen either. Just think anti-Iraq War and the need to stop glorifying war and you’ll have the gist of it. But I was going to remember this heroic US World War I soldier, who waited 83 years to finally get recognized by his own government.
