This past week ...

On Monday, I was feeling blue. I had felt that way all the previous weekend. My anemia was acting up. In a big way. I was feeling tired and feeling tired from lack of iron quickly becomes the blues. I just have to remember that it is not all in my head.

On Tuesday, I went to the opening of Radio Golf, the new and last August Wilson play. I really liked it. It is so strange to watch something that someone wrote when they knew they were going to die. It was his most direct play. He knew exactly what he wanted to say and he said it in the most direct way he has ever said it. At the end, I started to cry. I was surprised. It was not a sad ending. It was a happy ending so my tears were unexpected.

On Thursday, I made a new friend which was cool.

On Friday, I saw Annie Sprinkle's show at Collective Unconscious. I had never heard of her until recently. I interviewed her for a doc that we are working on. I had maybe ten minutes with her and we made it count. There was the sketchiest (is that how you spell that?) guy there. Man, I can not even get into it.

On Saturday I finally saw Little Children. I read the book and was resistant to seeing the film because, well, I did not like In The Bedroom and was not really into seeing the next Todd Field film. I had some issue with the book and though I do think the movie is better, I just think Todd Field is not my cup of tea. I can see he is a good director, I am just not into it. I feel the same way about Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu. Actually that is not true. I did like Amores Perros.

On Sunday I was shocked by the fact that Courtney was kicked out of Charm School. I wish I was not addicted to this show but I am. I really am. I don't know what this show is saying about race or class or gender or whatever. I have a feeling it is not good and honestly, I do not care.
