New York state of mind I have three questions to you today dear readers: 1. After how many pages is it allowed to decide not to read the rest of the book? I recently stopped reading a Zoe Heller novel just because it bored me to death. Should I have hold on or is it [...]

Wall-E – what do I know? I know it has been a while. Apart from a flu I also had some serious thought about closing the doors here for a while. I have no inspiration whatsoever at the moment. There is not much exiting to write about and it feels like the plot is seriously [...]

I am looking forward to your cards already We did it last year. And the year before. And we are going to do it again this year. Or at least I hope we will. Are you in? For every card I receive from you this year I will donate £2 to Oxfam. Sold out! (Unless [...]

Just a quick update in list form: Here is my new logo. I love it, it is simple with nice colours and it works well on both a dark and light background. I received 125 entries for this logo and must say that many of them were pretty bad, but there were a couple of [...]

Chewinggum actually Yes it has been a bit quiet and I also sometimes wonder myself if this film ever gets made but things have started rolling again now. I had a production meeting yesterday and while we still haven’t found a Dan yet we are now also working on confirming locations. We also know that [...]

Filmposters, West India Quay cinema, London The (cinema) film meme.

Love Sneakers It’s true. Girls buy new shoes when they have an off day. I am no exception. And how appropiate are these, actually? If that photo looks like I am skydiving, I am. It’s very good for inspiration. And yes that are my shoes and jeans. Have a good weekend. If you are looking [...]

Love Seaweed actually After five and a half week I got the results of my operation today, it’s good news I am fine. And relieved. And after having it nagging about in the back of my head for that long it might take a while before I get used to not worrying about it anymore. [...]

Dear readers! I just want to give you an update on the plate as I am even starting to get emails from very friendly people around the globe about this. People I don’t even know! The wonder of the internet. The thing is that I have been thinking. Yes I was very attached to this [...]

In pieces I really really loved that plate. It was one of the first things I bought after I moved to London. In the charity shop in Croydon. I was really very attached to it. Am sure it is impossible to get the same one as it is rather old. Bugger. In other news: I [...]

Steffen Brandt Danish music magazine Gaffa.dk has an interview with my other hero: What things that you know today would you have liked to know then (1984) ? Jeg ville gerne have vidst, at det går over. Alting går over. Det er utrolig vigtigt at vide. Desværre har det gode det også med at gå [...]

I saw My Zinc Bed on BBC2. It was originally a play by David Hare, who now adapted it for television. The problem with theatre plays being adapted for telly is that there is so much talk in them. My Zinc Bed was no exception. And despite an interesting cast (Paddy Considine, Jonathan Pryce and [...]

Devon Cream Tea in the Wayside Cafe It’s really not bad to spend your 42nd birthday with your best friend in a cafe in Widecombe-In-The-Moor having a cream tea that looked as good as this and tasted as good too. We also visited Princetown which is known for the prison. And if you have seen [...]

Art school In between everything, I have actually written 5 pages of brand new (feature length) script. There is no chance that I will finish this script anytime soon, but the beginning is there. My mind is thinking about the story a lot, there are a couple of options and I am trying to figure [...]

Yesterday was the day where they removed three moles from different places of my body. I am not a big fan of hospitals (who is – but I have a neurotic fear for them) and did my very best not to have a nervous breakdown about it. With a tube strike threatening on the horizon [...]

Indeed (I will spare you the rest)

Somewhere over the rainbow? A man prays a really really long prayer before he throws himself on the now even less lukewarm hamburger. A young couple looking very Dutch and very much in luv – eats a McFlurry. To them I would like to say, despite the Notting Hill MacD’s attempt to have it look [...]

Yes Viktor, I feel a bit like that too There are a couple of reasons for this: I can’t find a producer just yet. I don’t want to make this film without being properly prepared. And I simply need a producer who can help me with budgets, contracts, release forms, locations and things like that. [...]

Wrong Day Wrong Time I just took this picture, on my way back to the office after lunch in a posh burger bar on Portobello Road. It struck me how appropriate it was. This is the tape you get taped on your garbage if you happen to put it out on the street on the [...]

Don’t Panic But I am trying to fight against it!
