The Girl In The Cafe

I received a couple of good e-mails the last few days which is something that always makes me happy. Most of them were related to the Girl on tour which is an ongoing logistic planning project, but if I could do it full time I would quit my job right here [...]

The Great Wall of China - this is a great wall

Lawrence in The Girl In The Cafe

The Girl is still touring, she has recently visited Portugal and here is a beautiful review. A big Thank You for that.

Ghost in the machine

Looking back, with my eyes closed, I have had 3 major inspirational influences in my life, which means that inside my head you can find 3 fairly large chunks of information from all three of them.
Steffen Brandt’s lyrics guided me through life in Denmark and they became the basis of my Danish [...]

Love Actually

Mockba, 26 February 2007
My hotel is located in one of Moscow’s suburbs in the South East. It’s cheap and it takes about 20 minutes by metro to the Red Square and Leninski. Absolutely doable especially because the Metro station is about 50 meters from my hotel. I had done some research on the Moscow [...]

New York - break dance - Central Park

She walked all the way from the market on Union Square (14th) until the edges of Central Park that day. It felt good, and because New York was melting for her with lots of sunshine it gave her a feeling of spring. Both on the outside of her [...]

Don’t worry I won’t write that much about the play and Nighy, my review of The Vertical Hour from December still stands.

Written in the plane from Beijing to London:
OK, OK I don’t get it, people who think flying is a drag. I am sitting here with a cup of tea, the Milky Way (that has been ages ago!), a KitKat and a piece of chocolate cake, laughing my ears off watching the brilliant Meryl Streep in [...]

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 this film. [...]

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, your Marks and [...]

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.

Business as usual

This post

has funky music!
has a short note about a Dutch footballer recently spotted in Croydon.
has a TGITC film review
is 100% Bill free. (enjoy it while it lasts is what I’d say). (I really tried)

Bill the opie way is currently residing other places…
And that was all she could come up with after a weekend in silence.
Will it ever stop? Nope. Get used to it.
It took me a couple of hours to work on, but I really like this one. What amazes me about this type of “art” is [...]

Bill Nighy and his Golden Globe

Ooooh, indeed.
Today I really don’t care.
If I would write that you could not hear a big roar and Woohoo when I heard the news on BBC radio this morning while still laying in bed, I would be lying. A very big woohoo indeed, and an apology to both my neighbours [...]

The Vertical Hour - Bill Nighy

After nearly 2 weeks, digesting both the trip and the play (I still haven’t really landed in London yet, it’s a weird feeling), it’s time for a personal review of The Vertical Hour. I warn you up front, it has become a long post, that’s what happens when my heart [...]

The Girl in the Cafe
14 different countries, and Hawaii are on the current list of locations for The Girl in the Cafe on tour project. The Girl has just packed her bag and is currently on her way to Charlotte’s web (Germany) and Man over board (New Zealand).
There are 2 new reviews up from soyouthinkican(USA) [...]

The city here is crazy at the moment, 42nd Street / Times Square (I had to go back there after the play to get the subway), it is the street with the coolest name, that’s for sure, is at this moment also the most busiest street in New York. Already nearly completely closed down [...]

I know it’s pathetic to write “not sure I will be writing before the end of the year bla bla bla” just to show up the next day again. I found a cheap internetcafe at last and I mostly had to check if I hadn’t written anything completely ridiculous yesterday, as I was quite a [...]

(Bill Nighy (left) and Andrew Scott)
OK, I have to write now, if not I would be screaming on Times Square, and with all the police men going around there, this was the safer option.

The Girl on his shoulder

She is way less shy than I am, obviously. But I have no idea how she got there.
