i will never stop to thoroughly enjoy having this [slight spin on the] typical night dream
where the play is about to start, the audience has been seated and waiting for the curtain to go up
everyone backstage is ready to go on and is pumped up and rushing to their fist positions
and I have no clue what role I’m playing or what play it is or what I’m doing there
and people are giving me dirty looks “well, once again you’re unprepared Samara”
and “I know what you’re supposed to be doing but I’m not telling you”

and inexplicably, I don’t care at all!

been up since 5am to catch that flight from salonika to athens
[with my Loukia, we cuddled through the shit turbulence],
it’s 4am now, a whole day latah, and still no sleep/
and i is reeling on an empty stomach
on nothing else but vodka
everyone was at the partAy
we daaaaanced
and daaaaanced
and kissed.

November 25th, 2007

Mayou T., Ektoras, Nikos Georgakis and I had a great big wonderful breakfast together at the hotel, got the Sunday papers and we came back to my room to read, loiter, gossip and listen to Piaf. (Les Trois Cloches, devastating.)

Marissa T. is also in town, Loukia M. arrived last night and we’ll be attending the International Film Awards tonight.





November 24th, 2007

what a sweet surprise to bump into Nikos Georgakis at breakfast. He’s the most un-actory actor in a slimy world of ghastly actory actors. we ate hills of bacon and dished the dirt. he’s so lovely!
Mary Collins has a crush on him, I suspect.





November 23rd, 2007

bouf, a nauseating overdose of human contact.
resulting in a horrible sense of utter loneliness.
locked myself in the hotel room with Mary
listening to Edith Piaf.

join me





November 23rd, 2007

the Q&A was very interesting; people always ask the most unthinkable things.
it’s wonderful how every mind works so differently.
The reviews have been super excellent, a couple were abominable, I have great fun with those. It’s so highschool to get bashed. Most critics have written amazing stuff, it’s overwhelming.
Woke up at 8am and Syllas will be taking me to see the locations of my next feature film which will be shot right here in Thessaloniki.

now off to breakfast to destroy the bacon tray.
Mary Collins says when can we go home. [Mary has been staying in the hotel safe.]





November 22nd, 2007

the premiere was great fun. people were really into the film. it was my first time seeing it too, I’m most proud of this film than of any other film I’ve done. It’s so original, honest, funny!! and good. naturally in hindsight I’d change a few things but that’s bullshit retarded regret bollocks.
I was so happy that my family could attend and we could share this experience together, I’ve never had the courage to let them join in on work stuff. they brought their friends too and they watched it together taking up an entire row of seats. [my possy.]
more friends from Athens are arriving in town by the hour and I’m off to have afternoon drinks with each and everyone of them. Later there is another screening of the film with a Q&A following after. *eeek*





November 21st, 2007

went to visit my deeply beloved grandma Smaragda. she is the most intelligent person in our family, she’s 88, she reads 3 books a week [right now she’s reading Devil Wears Prada hahajaja] and we chatted so wonderfully. she gives me the best advice, she is so modern and decades ahead of her time. we were soon joined by auntie Anastasia and we watched the mexican soap they love, where we were speaking to the characters on tv, bashing the evil sluts and cheering for the love birds. my grandma is so cool, it’s shocking.

i got YSL moccasins, Alexander McQueen slacks, an amazing knitted coat, a black dolce shirt, and a ton of socks.

doing an interview in a few hours and later in the evening we’re all attending the premiere of the film [jitters bonanza] i’ll slip out of the theater as soon as the lights go down and go to the bar to get wasted.

for some real good laughs at my expense, tune in tomorrow on Makedonia TV, I’ll be going on their morning show for an interview. it’s a bad sign when they haven’t seen the film. fuck knows what they’ll ask me. retardation.

Mary Collins says hello.





November 19th, 2007

aaaah i just checked in. flight was brutal.
staying at makedonia palace, room 534, send me telegrams, flowers and drugs.
or come up and see me sometime, is that a gun in your pocket etc
so, so cold here
immediately hit the shops
got dolce and costume national and hugo and neil barrett
mom called, she made me carrot soup, dashing there to seek refuge.
so sweet, the winter.
Mary Collins says hello.





November 19th, 2007

I caught two flies going at it in my veranda.
they were annoyed I was there watching so they flew off,
conjoined like that, for a more quiet, romantic spot.
ah.. love is in the air.





October 26th, 2007

i just finished shooting a very strange film.
it was one of my most favorite jobs ever.

the phone kept spewing bad news all day long.
my throat is sore from yelling
in other news, the earth is round.

studied about Flagg, watched the 1963 Haunting, thought of M.





October 25th, 2007

the trailer of my new film which premieres in a month.
