will she actually make it to get on that train? Well good question, I am not entirely sure at the moment.

The title sounds more sinister than it is meant to be. I am very fine! I found a map which has both the Russian and the touristy names on it, and it makes live so much easier in Moscow. It is absolutely necessary to have with you if you want to find your way without [...]

I am in Moscow, that part of the mission is accomplished. But it is not easy!

I’m nearly ready, I need to iron one (can’t watch Bill in a t-shirt) shirt, than I am going to try to catch some sleep. How does one spend a last day before departing (I had the day off), well I did it like this. You would probably have spend it a lot cleverer. (Sorry [...]

Science of Sleep Science of Sleep or La Science des rêves as it is beautifully called in french is the new film written and directed by Michael Gondry, who also directed (and co-wrote) the original Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

In my Caterham train to work this morning, while standing still at Clapham Junction : “Good morning ladies and gentleman. We apologize for the delay, the train doesn’t seem to know where it is, and will therefor not open it’s doors”. I could completely understand the train. I don’t always know where I am either. [...]

Music Box – Theatre, New York Of course I am nervous. Very. In 3 days I am off. I can’t write any decent posts at the moment, so welcome to my messy head.

It’s nearly not about him at all. Really. I have done some research.

Chinese New Year China in London The nice thing about living in London is it’s diversity in cultures. There is a rather big Chinese community in London, and yesterday was the celebration of the Chinese New Year. The Year of the Pig has now officially started. The streets look beautiful with the red lanterns and [...]

Bob Dylan It’s one of Steffen Brandts favourite songwriters. Richard Curtis likes him too. And Bill Nighy is obsessed with him. I like and respect all of the above 3 men, so there must be something about him. He is a legend. I really started to like him when one of his songs was featured [...]

Parade’s End by Ford Madox Ford I made a list of things I need to buy before taking off. My calender tells me that one week from now I will be in Moscow, and I now realize how time is running very fast. On my to buy list were (among other things) Lonely Planet’s Trans-Siberian [...]

Here comes the Fuzz Hot Fuzz (IMDB) is probably one of the most anticipated British films this year, and if you liked Shaun of the Dead (the one and only Rom-com-zom), you can just buy your ticket for this one. Satisfaction guaranteed. The makers of this film have very cleverly used the internet to promote [...]

Bill Nighy – Lawrence – straightening his tie This is so true. Despite the fact that it is Valentine’s day, a day single people tend to hate, and I am no exception. And you can keep your cards with “I LOVE YOU”, your Sainsbury’s Taste the difference spring milk chocolates in a heart shaped box, [...]

They really are my favourite genre in film and I never get tired of them, but there are very few good ones. I am still doing Screen writing on Uni, my script is nearly finished, and is currently in rewrite state. Which means reading it a million times, and polishing it by changing words and [...]

No Dancing in the aisles Ed’s Diner – London It has been nearly a year since I moved to London. One year ago today I was in London for a week, to check things out, to have some first job interviews and to look for a more permanent place to live. After that week I [...]

Music and Lyrics Music and Lyrics (official site) Not much popping going on if you ask me.

If an idea is worth having once … Listen, this trip of yours …

The Magic Roundabout and I am not exaggerating, but I think I have everything booked now for the Journey of a Lunatic.

Right. I think I’ve actually overdone myself in madness this time. But I believe in that simple-twist-of-fate I was talking about even more now. Let me tell you what my plan was – yesterday. Oh : long post alert.

You wont miss it very much I am this close, but not completely there yet. Let me give you one piece of advice though: Impulsive decisions are good, really they are. And I love to take them, it makes me feel alive and it keeps life interesting and exiting. But planning a trip like this, [...]
