and now for something completely different...

"I play my part on life's stage. I tell what I can to form the perfect answer. 

But that answer cannot come before all are ready to hear, so I tell what I can to form the perfect answer. 

Sometimes my anger at the fire is evident. 

Sometimes it is not anger, really – it may appear as such, but could it be a clue? 

The fire I speak of is not a kind fire."

E agora, estamos prontos para continuar de onde paramos...

"Even the ones who laugh are sometimes caught without an answer. 

These creatures who introduce themselves, but we swear we have met them somewhere before, yes? Look in the mirror. 

What do you see? Is it a dream, or a nightmare? 

Are we being introduced against our will? 

Are they mirrors? 

I can see the smoke. 

I can smell the fire. The battle is drawing nigh."

"There is a sadness in this world, for we are ignorant of many things. 

Yes – we are ignorant of many beautiful things. Things like the truth. 

So sadness in our ignorance is very real. 

The tears are real. What is this thing called a tear? There are even tiny ducts – tear ducts – to produce these tears should the sadness occur. 

Then the day when the sadness comes. 

Then we ask, 'Will the sadness which makes me cry, will the sadness that makes me cry my heart out, will it ever end?' 

The answer, of course, is yes. 

One day, the sadness will end."

"Sometimes ideas, like men, jump up and say, 'Hello!'

They introduce themselves, these ideas, with words – are they words? 

These ideas speak so strangely. 

All that we see in this world is based on someone's ideas. 

Some ideas are destructive, some are constructive. 

Some ideas can arrive in the form of a dream. 

I can say it again: Some ideas arrive in the form of a dream."

"I carry a log, yes. 

Is it funny to you?

It is not to me. 

Behind all things are reasons. Reasons can even explain the absurd. 

Do we have the time to learn the reasons behind human beings' varied behavior? I think not. 

Some take the time. 

Are they called detectives? 

Watch, and see what life teaches."

"Welcome to Twin Peaks. My name is Margaret Lanterman. I live in Twin Peaks. I am known as the Log Lady.
There is a story behind that. There are many stories in Twin Peaks. 

Some of them are sad, some funny. 

Some of them are stories of madness, of violence. Some are ordinary. 

Yet they all have about them a sense of mystery – the mystery of life. Sometimes, the mystery of death. The mystery of the woods. The woods surrounding Twin Peaks. 

To introduce this story, let me just say it encompasses the all – it is beyond the "fire", though few would know that meaning. 

It is a story of many, but begins with one – and I knew her. 

The one leading to the many is Laura Palmer. 

Laura is the one."

A previsão do tempo, com David Lynch

 

Eu, como todo mundo, sou uma criatura de hábitos. Acordo cedo, junto com a namorada, vou ao banheiro, escovo os dentes e venho pro meu puff na sala para escrever. Ocasionalmente com uma caneca de chá. As vezes, café com leite. Mas na maioria das vezes, nada, só uma garrafinha de água filtrada. 

Meu primeiro hábito, uma vez já instalado no meu "trono de poder", é sempre abrir o spotify e jogar o randômico pra tirar a música do dia pra coluna "Conversando com o Starman".

Meu SEGUNDO hábito, após este, antes mesmo de começar a digitar os primeiros caracteres pro blog, é correr pro youtube e ir ver a previsão de tempo no canal oficial de David Lynch, onde ele fala sobre o clima local em Los Angeles, cidade onde vive.

Não, eu não sou vizinho dele. Não, eu não moro em LA. Na verdade, eu moro quase no outro extremo do continente. Por que eu religiosamente faço isso desde que tomei ciência de que isso era uma coisa que existia? Não sei. Tem algo profundamente confortador na voz do diretor e no cenário em que as pílulas diárias são gravadas. O tom azulado e etéreo, o vocabulário charmoso, a fumaça do copo de café que ocasionalmente se faz notar no canto inferior da tela. 

Da mesma forma que eu retorno de tempos em tempos para seus filmes, mesmo os mais crípticos entre eles (eu diria que PRINCIPALMENTE estes), eu sempre volto pro seu "Weather report". E recomendo aos senhores o mesmo. 

Não sei se eu conseguiria descrever racionalmente o que tem de tão fascinante ali. Mas considerando que estamos falando da mente que gerou "Inland Empire", "Mullholand drive", "Eraserhead", "Lost Highway" e, claro, "Twin Peaks", nada mais normal.
