Post No Bils in New York

When trying to sleep last night I was rethinking my previous post and thought - when are you actually gonna grow up (because I really did shout “yes” in the tube and people did look weird at me) .
I couldn’t come up with an answer, I just thought and realized [...]

Remember the post I just wrote with the pathetic:
“I will soon make and publish my plan on how I will try to survive the rest of December being a person who hates Xmas.”
Forget it. That problem has solved itself already.
Remember what I wrote about Richard Curtis?

NYC cab

My 92 pages of script are send to my tutor, and this coming weekend the verdict will fall. Be prepared is what I’d say. And that’s mostly to myself. I am going to contact some friendly people for a read soon as that worked extremely well last time.
Oh, oh - I put the word [...]

I heart you

When I read Cockie’s post this morning (she left something nice (chocolate frogs and mice) for the builders who are working on her house) I suddenly remembered that I had to post this picture.

Insert Bills face up

When you are hit by a writers block, you can always post a silly picture and pretend that the last drop of creativity has not been squeezed out of your brain. I don’t know where it went, my creativity, but it is not in my head at the moment.
And the above picture: [...]

The Man Of Your Dreams

When I walked home Tuesday with 2 orange Sainsbury’s bags filled with eatables, I happened to bump into The British Fashion awards ceremony which was held in Lawrence Hall, Horticultural Halls in London.
Lawrence Hall, got that? It is just around the corner from where I live. it’s good to live [...]

I have designed my “this is not a xmas card” card and I am quite pleased with the result, it is very colourful. They are ordered and should be with me between now and 3 weeks. This means that they probably won’t be with you before Xmas, but hey, it is not an xmas card [...]

He’s back

I attended a Bafta screen writing session yesterday, so this post is about all the above, a lot about screen writing and film making too, and about the homecoming of Davy. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Who is it?

When I was doing the Roosevelt Island aerial tram, I took some pictures while looking down. My idea was to take some of the yellow New York taxis, and I did while hovering over them, and on one of them this bloke walked into my picture.
Again, I didn’t notice anything at the time, [...]

A good quote

New York wisdom
No I am not American. And one day to say thank you a year is not enough for me. I say thanks a lot. I said thank you a lot today.
So what did I do all weekend? I sat inside. And worked hard.
And …

Love in London

This is London
Here is one of the lovely songs from the soundtrack of the great Dan in real life. The whole soundtrack has been created especially for this film by Norwegian singer-songwriter Sondre Leche. And I think he has done a marvelous job, the songs integrate perfectly with the film.
Too late …
Trailer is [...]

Grigorisgirl did the voice meme, and I thought it was fun to hear.
I hate to hear myself talk, it’s surreal and I sound stupid. But I decided to
challenge the fear of sounding ridiculous. I ploughed through all 13 questions (with a lot of ehrms!) and somehow ended up rambling for more than 7 minutes! [...]

Charlie Cox and Claire Danes in Stardust

Charlie Cox and Claire Danes in Stardust
I saw Stardust some weekends ago. Overhyped maybe, but I loved it. It’s a fairy tale with humour. Don’t let big names like Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert de Niro put you off, there are enough Brits in it to make it worth seeing, [...]

Love actually on his back

On learning new words and expressions, finding love on a stranger, and a random act of kindness.

Union Jack

I normally don’t look back but I somehow found myself browsing through the archives of this weblog wondering what I was doing this day 2 years ago, not realizing that today is a special day. For me.

Bob and Mick on the wall.
Red seats.
Red and white checkered plastic cloth on the table.
4 types of mustard.
HP Sauce, salt, pepper, sugar and ketchup.
And S&M in a London mix on the plate right in front of me.
Kinky.
How many Britons points do I get for actually liking that?
If you want it too, you can get it [...]

Spheres

I wish I could write short posts. I think I am going to force myself to do a short post week soon.
But some keywords: fall, posh shoes, banksy, writing, my office, dogs, jammy dodgers.

Chance Street

I remembered this very well when I woke up this morning. And I was very tempted to stay in bed a good bit longer, in stead of packing my things and go to class. But that would be a weak thing to do, and whatever would happen, I would probably learn something from it [...]

Yesterday night I send off 51 pages of my script to my tutor.
I felt great when I send it and I thought:
“Eat this you moth…, you, you, you tutor!”
30 minutes later: “I think it was quite alright”
1 hour later “I hope it was alright”
2 hours later “Oh bloody hell, it’s crap isn’t it”
2.5 hours “Worst [...]

Shoez

Yesterday I bought new shoes. I needed new shoes because I bought a suit (which I need for work). When the lady helping me measuring the length of my trousers (that’s standard here in London when you buy a suit, I didn’t know that, but learned something new) asked me if “those were the [...]
