Sigh.

I am a bit of a somber mess, to be candid. I am attempting to harness whatever energy that remains inside of me towards positive encounters...I am failing a bit. 

I feel a bit defeated from the pounding headache of consistent tragedy.

However, the show must go on...I suppose. 

Last night, I was able to watch the fully restored premiere of The Red Shoes presented by both Thelma Schoonmaker and a satellite video of Martin Scorsese. I sat under the stars, surrounding by a mass of art loving Italians, enjoying a film about passion and the tragedy of life when said passion is uncontainable.

Today I made a trip to the laundromat in attempts to walk around feeling halfway presentable. I now have a plethora of clean socks, shirts, and more! Laundry always makes me happy. After that, I went to a showing of Sergio Leone's "Duck, You Sucker"or a "fistful of dynamite". This Italian film is a three hour epic spaghetti western packed with politics and withheld homoerotic tension. I enjoyed myself.

Anyways, sending my love to the US of course.
