Let's say that as regard the fact of the swab for the Covid I talked in this day I tell you that yesterday I had the result: I'm Covid positive. But I insert here my comment under the Report of today by mr. Lynch beacuse I wrote better all the things I would have talked also here in my report:

"1) I was thinking nothing of special today. Perhaps only to the fact that, for who follow my comments daily, yesterday I got the results of the swab: I'm Covid-19 positive. Unfortunately I didn't take it from me because I practically never leave the house. That is, I did not already do it before the pandemic that much, then in the same pandemic if not more. I think my brother, a little younger than me, who came down from Northern Italy with his wife and daughter of about 3 months, infected me. Unfortunately, people in this pandemic keep repeating big mistakes. A big mistake is to ignore the problem and see each other at parties, such as Christmas. All this because people do not know how to be alone and in general just "humanity" (which does not interest me, I am interested in the Nietzschean over-humanity) does not know what sacrifice means. Only with sacrifice do we know what it really means to live. Among the greats, Dostoevskij also taught us. In addition to the fact that regarding loneliness, the great Schopenhauer, one of my models, said that "it is the fate of great spirits" while Ibsen that "the man who is loneliest is the strongest in the world". I don't know how completely true that is, but as a percentage it is much more so than the other way around. In any case, nothing serious, I actually had a fever of about 39 in the past few days, now I'm finishing off the cold. Thinking about the home, the Covid.. we can also add this truly and great phrase by Kafka (dear, very dear to the Master, I know is one of his favorite writers and in fact in THE RETURN in Gordon Cole studio there a photo of him, among other things near the atomic bomb photo, among other thins for me there's a connection between the two photo. Then that photo is obviously connected to PART 8): "You don't need to leave your room. He remains seated at the table and listens. Don't even listen, just wait. Don't even wait, stay still and alone".

2) Anyway today I was thinking about the fact that yesterday I finally managed to upload the first piece from NonHoSonno / Sleepless (for its release anniversary here in Italy January 5, 2001) by Dario Argento, that is the main title-theme of the Goblins, which I recommend listening to in the original version because it is really powerful. Mine is certainly inferior. In any case, for more information, rely on the video uploaded yesterday if you are interested. Here I only say that the film marked me tremendously, because it was the film with which I discovered Dario Argento, when I saw him they gave him on TV in a night at the end of May 2019. And then from there you recover all the films of him. Undoubtedly one of the greatest geniuses we have and have had in Italy in terms of cinema and above all of genre. The film, as I said in recent days, then it is no coincidence that it has been defined as a sort of sequel to Profondo Rosso. We are certainly not at those levels but practically the setting is the same, Turin, and certainly there are also many technical references to Profondo Rosso. The master's swan song, then seasoned with the participation of Max von Sydow. I really didn't feel sleepy for a few days after watching the movie. After all, Dario is the master of suspense. I believe that how horror he makes you feel is none in the world. Perhaps Kubrick's Shining is the only film that can be superior to Dario Argento's entire filmography. But for the rest I can say with certainty that the effect that his films have on me in terms of tension, horror, anxiety, no other films do. Perhaps only Lucio Fulci and Takashi Miike hold up. Anyway for me all master Arento's film from the first, L'Uccello dalle piume di cristallo (1970) until NonHoSonno are all great.

3) And then I thought about the fact that January 8 was the birth of David Bowie but also that January 10, therefore within 2 days, was that of death. In any case, I do not mention David Bowie by chance. He will return later in the next few days or next week, and the master Lynch is also involved, then you will understand why. But now it's early enough to talk about it".
