“Well I thought that the most dreadful
thing that could happen to anybody
would be not to be allowed to sleep
so that just as you’re dropping off
there’d be a ‘Dong’ and you’d have
to keep awake…Samuel Beckett in
preparation for writing his second
most famous surreal play, “Happy Days.”
The woman in the middle of the record
store line in the 1988 video below might
be actress Rita Tushingham (Dr. Zhivago,
Last Night In Soho) or Sally Hawkins
(Shape Of Water, Wish You Were Here,
Spencer)
The late Dame Maggie Smith is not in
the video. But she was at a *Downton*
NYC Houston St. Whole Foods sitting
two tables away shortly after the 2022
Oscar ceremonies in LA.
I didn’t watch the Oscar’s but did see
Dame Smith in “Death On The Nile”
and in the movie production of
“Downton Abby.”
I indiscreetly asked the “excuse me, are
you…?” Q-(yes-tíon) which Mrs (Not
Winnie, not Winston, not Will) Smith
denied. And DID NOT slap me
for asking.
And since “Every Day Is Sunday” I was
not imbibing. She was Maggie Smith
just as sure as the music in the Morrissey
video was probably not, as previously
stated, by “The Smith’s.”
The girl behind the record store counter
in the video below isn’t former U.S. intel
specialist, Reality Winner. “Reality” made
her initial reality debut a few years after
this 1988 video was made.
Winner sent Trump-Russia classified
material to The Intercept. It’s likely
that star reporter at the time Glenn
Greenwald, of all people, directly or
indirectly allowed FBI access to same. Resulting in her 5 year incarceration.
Is Reality Winner’s nickname “Winnie”
by any chance? As an intel specialist
she was involved in state-side language translation and Middle East drone attacks.
The Everyday Sunday video locates on a
British beach resort that’s seen happier days.
Life’s a beach and then you you die.
But not before your sleep deprived
“Happy Days" invite arrives. ¡Dong!
The video is based on the “Happy Days”
Beckett play. The driver is Beckett’s
favorite actress Billie Whitelaw who
I saw playing Winnie at the Old Vic in
Beckett's “Happy Days" in 1970's London.
In the play her captivating blonde head
was the only visible part of her looking out
over the beach sands (of time) stage setting.
Not to mention the beach sands as metaphor
for the layers of dresses, slips and petty coats
some women wore in “days of yore.”
Here’s Asian Winnie quarantining without
Willie with full handbag, sans beach and
sand and maybe making fun of Rosina from
“The Barber of Seville.”
The monologue is based on but isn’t from
the original.
Naturally after the 1970’s London play
I went to the bar next door and had
two beers. While walking down
underground stairs…
…I can't blame Beckett or the beer.
The combination along with a full
backpack and rain sent me free-fall
surfing down subway stairs and into
to a free British dental clinic looking
AWIL or “American Werewolf In London.”
From London Pub to underground moors…
Brit pub mates were late to the rescue.
U.S. “Slaughtered Lamb” J6 mutant
counterparts would’ve helped…
…the lycanthrope.
As the late great John Prine in his
prime said before and, courtesy of
Harry Tuttle’s YT channel, says again…
“Some Humans Ain’t Human”
Speaking of which, below is 2021’s
“Werewolves Within.” Rural American
oil pipeline comedy horror movie.
The “innocent” female bystander in
the bar turned out to be…the Irish
accented xenomorph lycanthrope
Post Office “Big Gov” Beasty. Played
perfectly by Russian immigrant voice
actress, Milana Aleksandrovna Vayntrub.
Back To “Happy Days”
Chinese Lip-ups?
Billie Whirelaw and Beckett:
…the “Gong!” sound waking Winnie up
on the set of “Happy Days” wasn’t a
storytelling device to keep her and the
audience from dozing. Or maybe it was.
Billie Whitelaw died in 2014.
I've had the “Everyday Sunday” video
on this page since at least that time.
It was only in 2016 that I recognized
Whitelaw in the 1st video and that she also
happened to be a very close simulacra
to a post 911 former girlfriend. How
possible?
Just my imagination? Nope, my imagination
isn’t up to processing half the strangeness I see everyday including Sunday.
Only after seeing the play again in 2017 at
BAM with Diane Weist as Winnie (female
*Winston* Smith?) quarantining on the
beach with Willie did I realize that...
Sudden sharp click sounds were used to similar
effect in the BAM avant-garde revival “The Old Woman" costarring Willem Defoe and starring
Russian born Mikhail Baryshnikov.
Mikhail’s 2022 open letter to Putin:
“‘World of Fear':…it is your Russia
that will die from its own horror
unless it wakes up…”
Will Putin hear that ¡Dong! “woke”
sound in his Russian very fast moving
“paranoid style” brain/ train he lives in
while waging Ukraine war? The train was
also a safe means of pandemic quarantine.
Sharp click sounds were also used in
“Constellations" on Broadway with
Jake Gyllenhaal.
I saw Jake (“hey, it’s all about choo!
Nope, it’s about…) a jammed NYC
auditorium with Jake talking about
crime and cops just after a cop role.
Female police union reps and US
Marines at opposite ends of the
auditorium gave Jake the predictable
“copaganda” hard time. (Likely not
the female police union reps making
the drug/ meth selling news recently…
or maybe they were)
That’s what happens when movie stars try politics. It happened to Matt Damon with
Koch owned “Reason” magazine reporters
hounding Matt back in the Obama years.
Back to Beckett:
Elon Musk named his tunneling drilling
machine "Godot" from Beckett’s “Waiting
for Godot” (just leave off the last 2 letters).
Because both were deliberately made to be
so "boring."
Recently the clicks became like angry loud
cracks of sudden thunder similar in volume
to that heard in "Personal Shopper" dealing
with the paranormal. Full frontal Kristen
Stewart deserved a 2022 Oscar for “Spencer”
as Lady Diana. Kristen lately?
It just so happens that as I re-edited this mess
one day after the Aug. 21, 2017 eclipse that
actual deafening cracks of thunder and rain
hit my Manhattan NYC windows.
No ball lightning. Ten years before I actually saw
ball lightning in my 2007 apartment tracing the
edge of my living room ceiling during a
nasty thunder storm along with a slight
static sound.
Like the Liu Cixin SF novel “Ball Lightning”
where China and the US go to war. Deploying quantum “ball lightning” weapons. “Stranger
Things” occur when *observing* quantum
weapon states in the macro-verse. Observation?
Or the effects of gravity?
No Trump Q-Cumber “hurricane guns,” no
alcohol or indoor Chinese spy balloons needed.
Ball Lightning is very real. Let’s hope that
kind of weaponry stays in the realm of fiction.
Like the sound of exploding ordinance in the
summer of 2020 in Manhattan both before and
after the 4th of July COVID19 and BLM city-
wide demonstrations. Thunder echoing off
buildings? Yes. Fireworks by BLM
demonstrators? Leading to fake gun shot
reports by “Citizen” neighborhood watch.
=============================
On my last day at work a 6' 4"
black co-worker made a point of
telling me what I would find among
what he called “daytime people.”
I was about to become one of them.
Like many others I refused to
believe that what I was seeing
in 2015 and 2016 in NYC would
somehow translate into the 2016
presidential Electoral College win
for a 71 year old rich clown New
Yorker with spray tan painted cheeks,
Aryan dyed hair and eyebrows enabling
him to lose the popular vote to
Hillary Clinton. And lose the 2020
popular vote again to Joe Biden.
One place where he gets his votes?
Bar, restaurant, hotel, gym, condo
owners in debt. All rooting for one
of their own. Or so they “think.”
After the “2008 Great Recession”
debt/ bank bailout all those
mentioned above just went further
into the red which meant owning,
refinancing more bars, gym’s,
condos and hotels.
In 2020 they were first in line for Trump
COVID PPP loan relief. For employees
they had and didn’t have and for
businesses they didn’t own. Many had
fake and legit loans forgiven. 2025?
Maybe more loans and many pardons?
If the MAGA brand of $ocialism prevails.
Plus a Mike Johnson 2025 repeal of
*socialust* ACA, Obamacare? Replaced
by the Heritage Project 2025? “Reform”
of Social Security and Medicare?
Publicly denied and privately discreetly
shouted via “Medicare Advantage”
and disguised weekly Medicare
Advantage adverts aimed at seniors.
Trump wants to bomb meth/ fentanyl
labs in Mexico. Not a bad or smart idea. Didn’t work in Afghanistan. Mexican
cartels, with more $, proximity and
weapons than the Taliban, can do the
same. To US cities.
