Last night I re-joined DavidLynch.com. I used to be a member ages ago and was even featured in the Ladies of DavidLynch.com calendar. I cancelled my $10/month subscription to the site (totally worth the money) when I got extra poor. I didn’t think to resubscribe until last night, on a whim.

The first thing I did upon entering the member-only site is jump into the chat rooms. Back in the day David Lynch would chat for a bit almost every single day. HE WOULD TYPE IN ALL CAPS AND HIS TEXT WAS ALL RED. One time I asked him where Aunt Ruth was. Instead of answering he asked me where I thought she was. That question is one of a couple of questions about Mulholland Dr. I don’t know the answer to. I felt stupid and foolish. I still am not sure where Aunt Ruth was.

Anyway, after catching up with old DL.com members in the chat room I signed off and put "Twin Peaks" on. I hadn’t watched any episodes in several months. It was good to go back. I watched the pilot and the first episode. I’ve seen the pilot episode so many times I could probably perform it for you in completion by heart. But when episode one came on I found myself asking questions, even after probably my 30th viewing, so I took some notes.

These are those:

"Twin Peaks," Episode One: Notes and Inquiries:

• If Laura Palmer, according to Dr. Hayworth who did the autopsy, had "sexual relations" with at least three men the night she died why were they not persuing more than one perpetrator?
• It has always bothered me the way Agent Cooper says, "Wait a minute. Wait a minute," to the waitress who serves him coffee at the Great Northern. So rude. But he finishes it off with the first mention of "damn fine coffee," so all is forgiven.
• People ask me sometimes where the name of this blog comes from. Well, it is from "Twin Peaks" and Sparkwood & 21 gets its first mention in the first episode. It is the intersection where Laura leaves James on his bike the night of her death. She freaks out and then disappears into the woods. That pretty much sums up this site I think.
• I think if I saw Eric de Rae walking down the street I would be so scared. All I’d be able to think is: Soap in a sock! Soap in a sock!
• If Laura Palmer did all that coke, why was Donna the skinny one? [Lara Flynn Boyle has aged A LOT in fifteen years.]
• Heh. Sheriff Truman has a mullet. I think Lynch likes the mullet. Hawk has one and so did Billy Ray Cyrus in Mulholland Dr.
• I know it is cold in the Northwest sometimes, but a turtleneck under a flannel is never a good idea. It is never that cold.
• The Catherine Martell/Josie Packard/Ben Horne burn-the-mill plot line always confuses me.
• When Ben confronts Audrey about ruining the deal with the Norwegians every single thing in that scene is either red, white or black.
• If Donna’s boyfriend Mike is such a big badass, why doesn’t he burst in on her and James having dinner with her parents? What a pussy!
