Woke up. Realized the internet’s not working. Called Apple to try to fix it. Called Spectrum to try to fix it. Made an appointment to have someone from Spectrum come over between noon and 1 pm to fix it. Canceled my Zoom appointment with Val. Had sex. Canceled my Zoom appointment with Chantel. Let in the Spectrum technician who was eventually able to restore my internet connection. Met Danny Garfield[1] for the first time, over Zoom. We synced up the footage from last night. Met Matthew Gill[2] for the first time, also over Zoom. We started cutting in the Ashley footage. Met Taylor Ervin[3], for the first time, over Zoom. We continued cutting in the Ashley footage. Worked with Ivica[4], over Zoom. More cutting in of Ashley footage. Walked to the subway station. Took the subway to W. 4th Street. Walked to my classroom. Taught my musical class. Did a movement exercise with my students. Talked about fear. Rehearsed a musical number. Bought something at a sex shop to give to K. Came home. Considered stopping at the convenience store to buy chocolate but then decided not to. Told K. I had brought her something. When I showed it to her, she said, “I thought you meant you had gotten me chocolate.” Regretted not stopping at the convenience store on the way home to buy chocolate. I suggested we go to the convenience store to get some, even though it was 15 minutes before closing time. We hurried and got there at 10:50 pm. But the store was already closed. They had closed early even though the sign on the door said that the store was open until 11 pm. Came home discouraged. Watched several minutes of Until the End of the World which K. couldn’t stand. She said it was one of the worst things she had ever seen in her life. I kind of agree with her. Everything about that movie, at least so far, rubs me the wrong way – the use of music, the obsession with vistas, the increasing prioritization of visuals over human psychology. I started falling asleep. But I hadn’t finished the journal. So I got stoned so I could stay up and write. And I did.
