I’m always asking studio hands to do the impossible. They never answer: “It’s impossible.” They look for things. They find things. Excuse me. They find things. They look for things. The search follows the discovery. They find first. You can set them any problem. They answer: “That can be done.” They disappear. They come back with nails, planks, supports. They meditate. They discuss the job. They build. They’re so interested in their work that they are oblivious of the sound unit’s efforts to keep them quiet. No sooner has the last word been recorded than the hammers and saws are at it again. I wonder how seriously they take the work of the actors. In the bus to Joinville a big woman was talking about Le Collier de la Reine. Somebody asked her if she was an actress. “Oh, no!” she replied, “I work. I’m an assistant make-up girl.”
Jean Cocteau, diary of a film
#reading this as research (sort of) for a paper im writing for class and so many things like.#1. so true queen 2. the way this man talks is absolutely unhinged 3. i dont care for film theorising but I Love Film i love to work in film#george.png#i might have another tag for this sort of thing but if i do i have forgotten <3#but the distinction of 'are you an actress' / 'oh haha no i actually work' is. so real unfortunately#hate to say it + its definitely not always the case that i feel this way buttttttt.... Many Such Cases.

needing to exert massive amounts of self control bc a) i am feeling ill rn b) the second hand shop (which is in my street) is having a sale week again c) I Want Stuff and d) i do not Need Stuff
#i want to go and just buy the stuff (shirts specifically) in natural fabrics but like#i already have two silk shirts (probably 3 actually but im not sure about the last one) and i actually just want smth that i cant have#(i want more white linen and cotton button ups but i have a lot of body acne that just makes wearing white impossible#or at the very least implausible) but also i have some disposable income rn but also im on a low buy but also I Want.#shaking myself. YOU DO NOT NEED!#one last thing that might convince me if this happens again next month tho:#i actually Do Need a LITTLE BIT. like as in: yes i have enough clothes to dress myself daily and to function in society#i have more than enough clothes on that level#but i dont have a lot of clothes that actually fit in a way that makes me feel able to function on a professional / worksona level#like all the clothes that i DO have that are within the worksona category are either too big or they have various rips and holes in them#that i have patched but usually they are quite visible so they dont at all come across as profesh#its def not the end of the world but its hard when i work 3 days/week and want to look both profesh and also like myself#but i am limited </3 but that is life </3 and i dont need linen and cotton button ups like also#if theres one thing i FOR REAL do not need its more button ups. altho actually even there a lot of them are at the end of their life now#ugh i should maybe actually do a proper closet purge and mend what needs mending and throw out/donate/recycle what i cant wear#- to most situations bc thats an issue i have: i love my clothes but im aware i cant wear torn shit to my daily activities#but im not going to wear THOSE clothes at home holes&all because theyre not my ultimate comfy clothes#so then as it turns out i cannot wear those clothes so i should not hold onto them
