2 Years

Today 2 years ago I stepped on a plane with a bag full of clothes and a bag full of dreams.. Most of the clothes have been replaced.

The Vertical Hour in London, with the wrong cast …

Not quite.

Piccadilly Circus in the rain

I am struck by a severe (blog) writers block (and wondering who is interested in reading all this crap shit stuff anyway), so a couple of notes and then I am off.
When I took this picture 2 days ago (without having an umbrella at hand but not minding the rain) […]

Zero7 - Distractions

Let’s start this week quietly.
With a song about me. And you.
I can’t quite figure out if this is a hopeful song or just a realistic one.
But it is one of the most beautiful songs I know, and I have played it nearly all weekend while sitting in cafes trying to figure out how […]

Pencast

Dan on my lap

Sometimes I just love Amazon. Just when my heart was about to ache for more Dan, this book dropped in the mailbox. And it is such a great read, especially when you have seen the film as many times as I have. It is a lot of fun to read but it […]

Dan In Real Life

I hate long posts on blogs, I seldom read them, they put me off. But I know that I too often write them myself. There is a lot to say, but I will keep it as short as possible. I promise. There is some bad news and there is some, erhm, news.

Kevin Spacey and Jeff Goldblum

Kevin (Lost in) Spacey. Oh and Jeff Goldblum (who has pretty lanky legs)
I hope your day is full of love, actually and free of commercial Bullshit.

Mind the gap

Should I be worried about the fact that I have been trying to touch out with my home keys in stead of my Oyster card the last two days, while leaving the tube station?

Me and my sneakers back on planet earth

This is just a short post to say that I am back on Earth. I think. Travelling in space messes up your mind. But here is a short list of things I have to say today (will write proper posts soon, I promise):

It’s day 42 today. Use it […]

Me and my sneakers - just landed on Magrathea

… have just landed on …

Bill Nighy - Lawrence - The Girl In The Cafe

The answer is no. Too much Bill is a contradictio in terminus.
I was going to write a one line post today:
“The only successful marriage I had was me and my work.”
Because I really don’t have much of a life at the moment. I am juggling between […]

It’s everywhere I go

About taking a break, writing, Dan, script troubles, the Isle of Man and OK, there is a tiny bit of B. too.

TKTS New York and the man I really want to see

TKTS New York and the man I really want to see (no I didn’t manipulate this picture)
I really was planning on living low budget the next couple of weeks. To save up for a holiday maybe but how can I resist the tempation of watching […]

Dreaming with a broken heart

I feel mean. In my script I have to break up two people and while the woman doesn’t truly love the man she is with, he has been kind and true and he really loves her. What did he do to deserve this? Nothing really. Life just can be cruel sometimes.
But […]

Spring in St. James Park

Spring in St. James Park

(Due to the lack of internet: a handwritten post again. Here is the disadvantage of writing on paper: You can’t edit it. I would like to now, but there you go, the uncensored and unedited and straight from the heart version.
Written yesterday on the steps near Pall […]

The name is Nighy, Bill Nighy

The internet connection at home will be down until Monday (and has been down since Monday and it drives me nuts) and having been out of the office yesterday - no possibility to write at all. So I apologize for the radio silence. I am afraid it is going to […]

Bill Posters will be CCTV’ed

OK, not a lot of time, so - memo style post with lovely picture.

I am quite shocked by the sudden death of actor Heath Ledger (28). He was extraordinary in Brokeback Mountain.
Where are we with the 60 second action feature you wonder? Well after another long night of mad movie making […]

It always seems impossible

One of the editors of the Chicago Tribune turned 50 and made a list of 50 things he has learned throughout the years. it’s a nice list, and there are some points on there that are spot on for me too.
6. The most valuable thing to have is a good reputation, and […]

Movie Maniac

OK, The Good Night
Lorenzo (owner of the now closed THE Cafe) already told me about this movie a year ago, they had shot a short sequence in his cafe. That was reason enough for me to see it. Bonus was that both Martin Freeman and Simon Pegg are in it too. Two of […]
