All you need is a blanket

Last night, a waitress gave me a blanket. It was navy blue and felty and covered the kidneys. The food was excellent, the atmosphere charming and the company thrilling but what I liked most about it was the blanket and a waitress who thought  a blanket might be beneficial to a girl whose shoulders always hunch from the cold and who is clearly nostalgic for her summer holidays and whose head can't get around the idea that soon she'll be wearing blankets just to get to work and whose hot water bottle is frequently used even in mid-summer and whose blankets are stored at the end of the bed in case of a slight descent in farenheit. And she is sitting here getting chilly just thinking about the prospect of not finding a blanket quite like that one.

The restaurant's motto is " A taste of summer all year round".  Blankets included.

The Summerhouse

A time

A time to laugh, a time to die
what is now will be no more
a time to turn away from you
and through a very different door

A time to cry, a time to live
what is now will forever be
a time to come closer to you
and through the same eyes we see

A time to stare , a time to breathe
what is now is exhaled in one
a time to stay in the same place
and through stillness thy will be done

Twenty cigarettes

##


James Benning asks twenty people to smoke a cigarette and then films them. Each shot takes as long as it takes to smoke one. An exercise in coming face-to face with our own self consciousness..

Polanski's new film sees Kate Winslet actually projectile vomiting, a stunt which even her kids witnessed on set and can't stop talking about since... With the Venice Film Festival underway, it's definitely time for European cinema to projectile vomit it's wonderful new material.
