'the diary will never be published' (the dream)

'the diary will never be published.' - denise clairouin (as reported by anais nin in her journals, volume two.)

'I mastered the mechanisms of life better to bend it to the will of the dream. I conquered details to make the dream more possible. with hammer and nails, paint, soap, money, typewriter, cookbook...

I sewed and mended, all for the sake of the dream...'  - anais nin in journals volume two, january 1937.

horsemouth has shortened anais's list (she, the ever practical, finishes off her list with douchebag). 

so the thing with the house in the wen's electricity went well - now there's a second lot due the morning of tuesday the 29th july  (cue a similar problem horsemouth guesses). 

ok. horsemouth contemplates another walk on the common. (just done it).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in the evening horsemouth watched judex (georges franju 1963) which he found complete and entire (and as far as he can remember largely ad free) on a certain streaming platform. god it's great (and it features a rooftop fight similar to the one in the later nuits rouges (1973) and an amazing masked ball). 

of course it's all fantomas really. but just as bram stoker's wife not wanting to have the copyright of dracula  infringed so excessive demands for payment from the estate of fantomas caused other early film serials to be chosen instead (judex), or similar characters to be invented (dr. mabuse/ nuits rouges).  

tomorrow horsemouth will have to deal with the thing that's most pressing on his mind at the moment. (ok no he's dealt with it already but there will still be stuff to deal with tomorrow). 

it is the morning. and it is another beautiful morning. the birds have been striping the berry trees.
