Silvia and I are in the middle of watching Twin Peaks for the first time. We were sipping on cocktails with Manu and Tiziano a few weekends ago when telly talk came up in conversation and we realised none of us had actually watched it despite the familiarity of it. We all knew the music, we all remembered the woods the plot revolves around, we all knew someone had killed prom queen Laura Palmer. The series was on air when we were about 7 years old and commercials would pop up at random times - I remember being so creeped out by the music and Laura's blueish body wrapped in a plastic bag that for the longest time whenever the first notes of the tune played I'd feel a slight chill down my spine. 

We have just finished watching the first series.  I'm very glad that I'm watching it now as an adult as it means I can fully enjoy references, the brilliant underlying humour and the absurdity of it all. Pretty much, I want to frame and hang on my walls so many quotes and images I wouldn't have any white space left in the house. It will be a feat to choose. I'm also glad I'm watching it with a friend, which makes the experience all the more entertaining because now Silvia and I can text each other stuff like "IN A COCONUT" and laugh to ourselves. 

I have a big soft spot for Special Agent Dale Cooper and his obsession for coffee. Here's a GIF of him staring into an alpaca's eyes. 

(This is the kind of show where a random alpaca thrown in a scene is totally normal, by the way.)

 

 

 

It would be useless to talk further about the series because I find it impossible to describe. Yesterday we watched the first episode of the second series (which I'm told doesn't live up to the first, so my expectations are neutral) and the end was so RANDOM we just turned to each other with a look of pure puzzlement going, "What the fuck?" 

I don't know what David Lynch and Mark Frost put in their coffee but that shit's strong and good.

You know, I've never watched Twin Peaks either and now you got me curious...

The third series is starting next week and I think this is what spurred us into action.

The show is getting weirder and weirder by the minute - and creepier too!

Oooooh Twin Peaks! Me and my flatmate are counting down the days and preparing the snacks for the third season's premiere :D

I'm quite fond of Audrey Horne and the Log Lady, can't wait to see them back in action (not sure if LL will be around though).

Log Lady is a favourite of ours!!

Still need to finish the second series, can't wait to get on to the third one.
