Weekend Update:
Dysmotivated
For a change, I’m going to the movies this afternoon, not this morning. Kathleen and I will be having dinner with Megan and Ryan at a restaurant on Houston Street, so I’ll head downtown at about three — running some errands on the way — for the later-afternoon show of Revolutionary Road at the Union Square Theatre. Then I’ll hang out at Barnes & Noble for a while, before deciding that it’s much too cold to walk fourteen blocks and taking the subway instead.
I thought that this would give me a nice long morning to spend on little stuff, like organizing my desk drawers, but I used up all my motivation yesterday.
Later the same day….
I did run the errand — to exchange the cable box that I poured a glass of wine into over the holidays for a new one, at TimeWarner on 23rd Street. Then I came home. I did not go to the movies, largely because Kathleen was talking about coming home early. She had a bit of a sore throat, which is why our dinner date got postponed to Sunday evening. So, as usual, nothing that I predicted happened. You really ought to read my stated plans as fantasies, at least when they involve other people.
The good news is that I patched together a few scraps of motivation.
