i was to watch THE SHRINK IS IN last night...to realise that it was shana lewis' day in the flat, today....and why? well that movie had been 'all about her' in a way....let me explain...the 'henry' character was played by david arquette...whom CF had known quite well...as a PIE slave who was rather popular with certain handlers that CF also knew...go figure...'henry' knew what had happened to shana at a certain LA restaurant...in fact she was to tell me about it herself in shanghai...exiting in a hurry...for a twig, to catch her wraparound skirt etc etc....all in the movie...additionally there is a 'google chrome' slave reference...arquette poses with a 'soft toy'...go figure....

what else? well, edwin and his associates had been hoping to combine THE SHRINK IS IN as programming materials...with his 'at the asylum' photos...along with that french chateau 'especially done up' for the purpose of MARS programming....

...next up - i was to watch CONSTANTINE to remember the following...caroline hughes driving me to a small swimming pool, upon the outskirts of torquay (circa 1988)...she only swam a few lengths...i swam quite a few....although it wasn't 'healthy'...that pool had been horribly chlorinated....it was a rather nasty colour, too....a bit pond-like....anyway, after exiting the building - we were to meet up with rama and her drama friends...rama had just driven into the carpark...they were all also 'going for a swim'...coincidence? i think not....and this is why....

....jay power was the only one to fully remember what had happened at that small swimming pool...she had been acting as 'producer' of one of mcdonald's productions...and varro had also been there as 'technical support'....

...a cast of quite a few dartington students....one student with gingerish 'curly' hair was up a ladder...she had stage prop 'wings' on her back....gill's childhood toy...that spacegun which shot water...covered in gold paper....what else? the only other details that i have is that jay power was to say "everything that could go wrong - did go wrong"....

...gill was to remember a mafia boss (from the east end?)...whom he knew as 'lou/lew'....that boss was to walk in and try to takeover...jade laing then stabbed him in the back with what looked like a small dagger in a sort of turkish scabbard...one of the props, you understand...in fact it was an ornamental indian paperknife in a sheath, that i had once bought from oxfam......(oh and i had bought those two huge brass 'lotus flower' candleholders there, too)....jade had taken it off of me, early on..."can i borrow this for something?"...but she wouldn't tell me what...in short, i hadn't been at that small swimming pool event....and the only person who could tell me what had happened was jay...and she wasn't really forthcoming upon all of the details...apart from the fact that there was a lot of blood...bodies dragged away from the pool....and so on....that type of thing...

mcdonald was to tell me to look after the GAF at H HOUSE...he was to tell me that they were both suffering from a stomach bug of sorts....'botulitis'? botched job more like....anyway, they were both violently sick...i had to keep on changing the buckets....and coaxing them to drink bottled water...they both then developed high temperatures...after they had evacuated 'whateveritwas'...i then coaxed them to eat oranges/drink orange juice and gave them aspirin to break the fever....they sweated it out and in the morning...both were relatively back to normal...gill woke up first...i put him in the bath whilst changing his bed clothes etc etc...still under the impression that it was a 'bug' and not drowning in a highly chlorinated pool....i then had a look in the fridge...nothing except canneloni/lasgna - so i microwaved that....and then made him get out of the bath, to eat it....he sat on a chair by the bathroom door...ate it ravenously...and then declared "lasagna saved my life!"....

and so today....the anagram word is LASAGNA, MI5....gill was to make AN LA GAS out of it...with reference to akiva goldsman i would guess....something like that...see CONSTANTINE to work it out...

...what else? gill had wanted to impress upon me, the above...and so he was to arrange for jacqui carroll to ask me to accompany her to 'breakfast' at the restaurant/bar halfway down totnes high street...she ordered lasagna....an odd choice...even odder...she only ate a miniscule amount with a fork...before saying that she couldn't eat anymore...she then left...to walk up to college...the GAF had been sitting by the door, watching us...all the while...gill then came over, sat down...called to the bar/restaurant staff...whom he knew by name...something along the lines of "somebody doesn't want...." "can't let good food go to waste"...he then wolfed the lot down...whilst CF sat beside him, laughing....go figure.

what else? let me think....varro's mob will have whatever they managed to get on videotape.....before that mafia boss walked in...he had two men with him, according to jay....and so where is that tape now, then? in the same place as that 'rabbi circumcision' tape, i suppose....mind you, that rabbi tape had been made widely available...whereas that pool tape had not been...well, actually - come to think of it....i don't know...anyway, you would have to find mcdonald and ask him, wouldn't you? it was his 'theatre piece' after all....
anyway, edwin and his 'friends' had wanted to program with both movies....watch them to understand all of the possible ways....the 'crossovers'....the name 'isabel' for example...psychiatric wards etc etc....

oh and most importantly of all...but wait a minute...i'll explain 'that one' visually....

snips from both movies....

 

somebody had left a NOT SO SPECIAL EFFECTS card in the dvd cover....

 

jay had talked about the 'special effects' during that swimming pool 'shot'...including the fact that during the 'fight'..the camera had been dropped into the pool...and that varro had been surprised that it still worked afterwards....

 

 

the indian reference...as a reminder of that paperknife....and rama's involvement...

 

mcdonald's real name...or rather his first name...had been Jeffrey brooks...before 11 years old, that is...see previous notes...another reminder, basically....see below:

the rat....and the kerb....and the gutter....

...followed by the 'green crab'....see previous notes and photos from yesterday...all of those 'blue crab' banksy-type-stencils that have appeared recently...on Clacton pavements near to the drains....

oh and see previous notes upon kate middleton in 'that hat' upon the front of VOGUE...this is all obviously more important than I understand, at this point in time...why else would it be coming up now...why all of those 'pointers' ....to this movie?

and I would guess that one of the answers to whatever questions might be asked...if AKIVA GOLDSMAN...go figure:
