Greek Gods of Olympus..
my cleaning lady is in today
she knows i’m on to her
and she’s pretending to actually clean.

Souppy has been onto her since she first started working here, six years ago.
She ambushes her every chance she gets; hides, then jumps on her and bites her.
Souppy, good girl.
Souppy, clever girl.

This is David Lynch’s 55 second short filmed with an original Lumiere camera. 40 international directors were asked to make a short film, all using the original Cinematographe invented by the Lumière Brothers, working under conditions similar to those of 1895.
There were three rules:
(1) The film could be no longer than 52 seconds,
(2) no synchronized sound was permitted, and
(3) no more than three takes.

All the effects are in-camera and there is no cutting for scenes.

L. dropped by yesterday just to give me a dvd of Peeping Tom. My god, fantastic film. Maxine Audley, whom I’d never heard of before is an a-m-a-z-i-n-g actress. Decades ahead of her time. A real inspiration.

I had a dream where i was doing a play at this old victorian type of theater and suddenly everyone in the audience got very sick and I had to give them all injections; an old lady was passing the needles and the medicine vials to me and I was jamming those old fashioned syringes in people’s butts, thighs and arms without knowing if it was the right medicine or the correct dosage and I was very stressed out about that. One lady’s ass cheek in particular spit open after I injected it.
I hope everyone is ok.

Ale is being an angel, arranging everything and being very patient with my grumpy demeanor.
And I am. Grumpy, stressed, tired and disorientated.
Roma is beautiful, a bit difficult to navigate though.
I’m seeing most of it through taxi windows going to meetings.
No words to describe the food. Cinecitta is outrageously grandiose, there is a huge set of ancient Rome and another set of 1900’s New York left over from a Scorsese film. Unreal.
After Monday’s meetings I think I’ll have had quite enough.
I miss “Fewer Emergencies”.

“Fewer Emergencies” by Martin Crimp ends Sunday night.
Monday morning I fly to Rome.
Typically, as before any trip, I’m laundry challenged.
