That what’s his name calamari

September 29th, 2006

My colleagues did discover my blog a while ago already. I don’t really mind, if I didn’t want people to read me, I shouldn’t write here to begin with. What I find hard though, is that they are discussing it loudly while I am sitting next to them. “Ingrid – You’ve been out with Davy! [...]

A great place to be We wanted some Rock ‘n Roll, Davy and me, but the man in the TKTS booth said that the places left in the theatre were not particulary good ones. So we decided to drop it, and try to get cheap tickets for it on another day. No rush with this [...]

Moon over Spacey

September 27th, 2006

I haven’t slept well since I wrote my bad review of A Moon For The Misbegotten, I still feel bad about it to be honest, because I have so much respect for Kevin Spacey. I have to stand by my words, even though people have explained to me that O’Neill plays aren’t always easy, but [...]

I just want your extra time, and your … kiss But there are always the worries. Worry number 1: I am too old to start all this.

To follow up on the friday post: I didn’t go to the Pinewood Studios because it was a “ball”. Like in the guys wearing a tuxedo, and the girls wearing something I am never ever going to wear. Well, I can only think of one occasion, but that has an improbabillity factor of 100%. And [...]

The Girl – still going strong

September 25th, 2006

Bill Nighy – The Girl In The Cafe Bill Nighy/Lawrence in The Girl In The Cafe Let’s attempt to write something that makes sense, which is hard, as millions of balls are bouncing in my head at the moment. It is inevitable that Nighy will be a regular here the coming months, so be warned. [...]

I’m in a New york state of mind

September 23rd, 2006

But I know what I’m needing and I’m not going to waste more time I’m in a NewYork state of mind. It was so easy living day by day out of touch with the rhythm and blues Now I need a little give and take the New York Times and the Daily News, ohh Comes [...]

Due to temporary loss of mind

September 22nd, 2006

and loss of internet connection at home for a few days, no milk today. But I will return on Monday, with: a story about how it has been, working as a runner on a film set the whole weekend (and why starting at 8am on my free Saturday morning is supposed to be fun, and [...]

And so I saw The Moon for the Misbegotten. Just a few facts before I give my verdict: For me Kevin Spacey is the second best actor in the Universe, I think he is fantastic, no matter what he plays. I also saw him on stage as Richard II in the Old Vic last year, [...]

Funky men dancing …

September 20th, 2006

This is both smart, funky and a lot of fun. I did this one, but feel free to make your own. They played a sold out on Trafalgar Square last weekend, I like them, and this song too.

London from high up

September 17th, 2006

The Tardis Yes this picture has been manipulated in Photoshop but only to make it look more funky. This is the one and only original one, and it landed just in front of me today.

Good Evening London

September 15th, 2006

We like your blog, can we use it in our London Lite newspaper (free evening newspaper for London) was the question in the email I got. Sure I said, but let me know what you want to print, because there are things that I don’t want to have printed (including my name). That was OK. [...]

Goodmorning London

September 15th, 2006

Don’t they always … I step out of the door, and throw away the garbage. The milkman is there, in a vehicle that looks like it has ignored the last 50 years of technological development. A vehicle that is a milkman worthy, and that I never had expected to find in a city like London. [...]

September 14th, 2006

Snow Cake (2006) Alan Rickman in Snow Cake I wanted to see it, because I like Alan Rickman (where has he been?). But I missed the early evening film, because my bus didn’t want to show up, first time I waited for a bus for over an hour. But I enjoyed being outside after 2 [...]
