and if you ask them to do their job, they feel cheated
if you ask them to actually put their thunder thighs to use
and and perform a task to completion

they perceive it as cruelty.

i’m so cruel. so difficult. and oh, so evil.
so be it.

HONG KONG – A CHINA-BORN adult film actress was found dead in a Hong Kong hotel last Friday.

Crystal Sun, 36, was found hanging in the bathroom of her hotel room after a hotel worker discovered a note saying ‘Someone hanged herself’ on the bathroom door.

She left a suicide note saying she had debts, Apple Daily said.

Her strong resemblance to the late adult star Pauline Chan, who fell to her death at age 29 in a suicide in Shanghai in 2003, led to her playing the Chan in a movie.

Chan was famous for her various outbursts and unruly behavior before her death.

A native of China’s Shandong province, she was forced to drop out of the 1999 Miss Asia contest after saucy pictures of her appeared in the media.

No… wire… hangers. What’s wire hangers doing in this closet when I told you: no wire hangers EVER? I work and work ’till I’m half-dead, and I hear people saying, “She’s getting old.” And what do I get? A daughter… who cares as much about the beautiful dresses I give her… as she cares about me. What’s wire hangers doing in this closet? Answer me. I buy you beautiful dresses, and you treat them like they were some dishrag. You do. Three hundred dollar dress on a wire hanger. We’ll see how many you’ve got if they’re hidden somewhere. We’ll see… we’ll see. Get out of that bed. All of this is coming out. Out. Out. Out. Out. Out. Out. You’ve got any more? We’re gonna see how many wire hangers you’ve got in your closet. Wire hangers, why? Why? Christina, get out of that bed. Get out of that bed. You live in the most beautiful house in Brentwood and you don’t care if your clothes are stretched out from wire hangers. And your room looks like some two-dollar-a-week furnished room in some two-bit back street town in Okalahoma. Get up. Get up. Clean up this mess.

wrap these lyrics around your lips.
Позабудь об этом дне
Спор не нужен никому
Не читай нотаций мне
Мама, это ни к чему

Снова к друзьям я своим убегаю
Что меня тянет сюда я не знаю
Без музыки мне оставаться надолго нельзя

Музыка нас связала
Тайною нашей стала
Всем уговорам твержу я в ответ
Нас не разлучат, нет

Музыка нас связала
Тайною нашей стала
Всем уговорам твержу я в ответ
Нас не разлучат, нет

Я забыла все, чему
Нас учили столько лет
Неужели я сама
Не найду на все ответ

Снова к друзьям я своим убегаю
Что меня тянет сюда я не знаю
Без музыки мне оставаться надолго нельзя

Музыка нас связала
Тайною нашей стала
Всем уговорам твержу я в ответ
Нас не разлучат, нет

Музыка нас связала
Тайною нашей стала
Всем уговорам твержу я в ответ
Нас не разлучат, нет

Beautiful villages burn beautifully; this of course doesn’t apply here at all.

whatever happened to doing things just for the fun of it?
in other news, actors are still ridiculous drama queens as ever.

flew to Thessaloniki to present for best cinematography at the awards, morning after at 7am I had to go to the hospital because I had hurt my chest during filming a few days before and the pain wasn’t going away. turned out to be internal bruising. from there i went straight to the airport to catch a flight straight to day 1 of rehearsals for Marius von Mayenburg’s Eldorado, directed by Constantine Giannaris. then i went home and fell asleep on the floor somewhere. Morning after, I did my last day of shooting for Homeland.
ticking off a few things in an ever-increasing list of things that must be done.
met Lena Divani and she rocks so much.

and so I died.
as I have in 8 of my films and plays before.
but it has to be my favorite death so far.

the trashed trailer where it took place, the litters of blood soaking my clothes, hair and balls. It was a self inflicted knife wound, this time. The following dawn, we filmed at the beach, where I’m being dragged away in the sand. And in the -5°C water. My bones, skin and insides are bruised, scratched and sore but a good time was had by all.

The hotel rooms were the most surreal place I’ve ever slept in, it looked [and felt] like an asylum.

One more scene and I’m done.
‘Homeland’ was delectable to make.


it was there, that I found this person, born in the 1930s:
