I love Los Angeles. I love how it fits so many invisible cities within its borders, forever revealing themselves. The other night T and I saw Haushka -- the pianist extraordinaire, Houshka! -- play an original score to the silent film "The Hands of Orlac" at the Silent Movie Theater in West Hollywood. I love Cinefamily and all their original and unique projects.
Did you know I adore silent films? I'm nostalgic for another time. There is something so mysterious about those silent films, the dark ones, the ones filled with such deep loss of love, of purpose. And Haushka, in his haunting way, revealed it all. The music and the film tapped into emotions my cold heart didn't realize existed, the ones similar to nostalgia, loss, regret, and isolation, but more complicated. Then we met up with new friends and had Ethiopian for dinner.
