when we get there we will be half way...

 horsemouth is watching more of  'christ stopped at eboli'. he hasn't read the book in a long while now so he is a little unsure of what is going on in each of the scenes. 

once again horsemouth is reminded  that the first episode is ruled by barone the dog (you can see carlo levi makes sense to the locals once he has a dog). 

the second episode (secunda puntata) begins with a voice over still photos from the previous episode. the camera alternately zooming in or pulling back. 

'autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and with what makes up the continuous flow of life. here, I am talking of a space, of movements and discontinuities.'  - walter benjamin, one way street. 

'imagine this written around the edges of the page. a book consisting of nothing but margins.'  - graham caveny.

horsemouth listened to a podcast on agoraphobia (and other phobias)- apparently cases rose drastically after the 1871 paris commune. 

horsemouth travels today - when we get there they will be half way there. there was a proposal to swap this one session but horsemouth was unenthusiastic about fucking with a winning formula. now there's breakfast and then the wait for the transport.
