Sleepwalk on the wild side

I worked from home today, and then went into Manhattan afterward, which is the exact opposite of how that usually goes. I’d debated just going into the office, and sticking around in the city after that, but the allure of an extra hour or two of sleep in the morning was just too much to pass up.

I went into the city this evening to see Sleepwalk With Me at Symphony Space. I’ve been a fan or director and star Mike Birbiglia’s comedy and appearances on This American Life, and the movie was followed by a short Q&A with him. Both were quite entertaining.

Monday

I was worried, for a little bit, that today would be as slow and boring as last week, and it did get off to a kind of rough start. But soon enough it picked up, at least in terms of work to be done — and which, moreover, could be done — and it was nice to actually feel I’d accomplished something by the end of it.
