Get up late. Spend the morning at your rooftop pool and decide what you really want to do with your life today.
I'm going to start writing that non-fiction hotel book.
Abuse a little bit of whatever you want to get the juices flowing and then go crazy. Write about, or Design or film or record whatever comes into your head. Then use the Hemingway method and keep a little bit in that well for tomorrow.
After your finished, you should head out to the Central Library and read a book for crying out loud. Then later tonight you can catch a reading from the ALOUD series.

Ulrike OttingerMadame X: An Absolute Ruler 7:45 at the Redcat Theater.
It's underneath the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
To celebrate the launch of Afterall 16, please join us for a screening of German filmmaker Ulrike Ottinger’s first feature film, Madame X: An Absolute Ruler.
In this cult feminist pirate film, the harsh beauty Madame X calls upon women to trade their comfortable but dull lives for a world of danger and adventure on the China seas. Among those that gather aboard her ship, Orlando, are a housewife, a diva, a psychologist, a "native" beauty, and an artist (played by Yvonne Rainer). Fueled by discontent, their utopia unravels as they begin to ritualize the power games of the outside world.
Afterall is a non-profit research and publishing organization co-supported by Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London and California Institute of the Arts, Los Angeles that publishes a contemporary art journal and a series of books. Afterall 16 features texts on artists Yto Barrada, Gillian Carnegie, Ulrike Ottinger, and Christopher Williams, with introductory essays by Jeff Wall and Anthony Huberman.
