I only spend about three minutes of my lunch break actually eating (peanut butter sandwich and a baggie of cheeze-its) and the remaining twenty seven I dedicate to day dreaming and staring absentmindedly into the trees beside the parking lot. Every now and then I have a good idea and I jot down notes on little scraps of paper, the idea being that later I'll find the note and remember to do something I thought was important.
The system rarely works, at least not in a timely fashion. Today I found a note from last week on a yellow post-it neatly folded in half: ISABELLA/HELENA(?) disappears into the woods ... Aguirre WATCH.
I followed the note's instructions and tracked down the clip in question:
I don't remember what made me think of this during that particular lunch break. Maybe I imagined myself silently slipping into the woods (taking a permanent half-day) whilst my malnourished, half mad coworkers licked the ground for salt ... but there were no native arrows raining down and no one else eats lunch outside, much less licks the parking lot for essential minerals.
Inez (Helena Rojo) disappears from the film's narrative after this and I can only assume she perishes somewhere in the jungle, perhaps on her own terms, perhaps on the jungle's.
fare thee well, Inez
love joshua

Where do you work & what else have you written down?
cision. it's out in the pease area.
most of the pocket notes are reminders to watch movies or read books. sometimes dream notes as I remember things from the night before (I have a good one about prison that I'm still trying to piece together).
my personal fave note is a scrap of yellow legal pad upon which I emphatically scrawled "FANNY." I've completely forgotten why.
