Day 4/5

Pages read:156
Went to West Cork for the weekend, So I didn't get much reading done. I did read the first couple of chapters of David Hemmings' autobiography, Blow-Up and Other Exaggerations. Interestingly despite being the lead, David doesn't know what the film Blow-Up is about, doesn't think it's very good and also misremembers the most famous line. It is understandable though as the director had told all the extras to get as stoned as possible during the scene to make the party more realistic.
Line of the Day:Thomas: [seeing Verushka, the model, at a party the evening of the day she had just told the photographer that he'd better hurry because she had to catch a plane to Paris] I thought you were supposed to be in Paris.
Verushka: [taking a toke of her marijuana cigarette] I *am* in Paris! (Blow-Up)
