I’m taking a few days off from work this week. Yesterday was my last day until Monday. I’m staying in town, but I decided it was time to take time off.

Today I saw a matinee of Glengarry Glen Ross on Broadway. I had hoped to see The Constant Wife, but that wasn’t available at the TKTS booth, and I’m not supposed to see The Pillowman without Matt. I enjoyed it, although my seat was in the last row of the orchestra, and I can’t remember ever having more trouble hearing dialogue than I did today, though it was better during Act II. I’d never seen the movie or any other production of the play, so the story was brand new to me. FAN-fucking-tastic acting from Liev Schreiber and Alan Alda.

Other things I will do this week include getting a library card and a new Social Security card and vegging out. Perhaps I’ll go to a museum tomorrow.

I’ve been reading The Path to Power, the first volume of Robert Caro’s biography of Lyndon Johnson, and I’m starting to get bored. I’ve been reading it for almost three weeks now and I’m only a third of the way through the book. I really don’t want to be reading this for the next month and a half. I don’t seem to be in much of a reading mood anyway, but maybe I’ll go the Strand and pick up something different. I’ll see.

Anyway, over and out.
