atomic-summer asked: I love the movie Rusalka as well! Definitely one of my favorites. The same actress is also in a movie called Nirvana by Igor Voloshin, have you heard of it?

I haven’t but I’ll have to watch it for sure. Thanks for the recommendation :)

Simultaneously awake and dreaming.

In an effort to get people to look into each other’s eyes more, the government has decided to allot each person exactly one hundred and seventy-seven words per day. When the phone rings, I put it to my ear without saying hello. In the resturant, I point at chicken noodle soup. I am adjusting well to the new way. Late at night, I call my long-distance lover and proudly say: I only used fifty-nine words today, I saved the rest for you. When she doesn’t respond, I know she’s used up all her words. So I slowly whisper ‘I love you’ thirty-two and a third times. After that, we just sit on the line and listen to each other breathe.
