Some words from the guru

Good words from screen writing Guru Richard Curtis.
I thought 6 days and nights on a train, think about the huge amount of time I will have to write. Well I did write a bit here and there, but not the stuff I was supposed to. How could I, I was sharing [...]

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 Love

(Written: New York, 33rd St - Picture: New York, 5th Ave)
While I drink my Milky Way tea in the Starbucks right beside the Empire State Building (and let’s be honest there are worse places to drink your tea - behind your computer screen at work just to name one) I read (or rather [...]

One common problem - Love …
I felt slightly out of place and several people in the queue looked weird at me.
And some asked me if I was sure I was in the right queue, was I really going to watch this film?
And I said yes.

Love, love, love

If I told you that I have already scored a date, on Tuesday the 26th at 10 am, with a guy who is going to sacrifice some hours of his Christmas day to show me around in New York, would you believe me?
Of you course you wouldn’t. I don’t believe it either, but [...]

Rhys Ifans in Notting Hill
« Rhys Ifans in his classic Fancy-a-fuck t-shirt in Notting Hill
To be totally prepared for The Vertical Hour, I am doing a small theatre warming up these weeks. I saw Love Song, Love or Money, and today it was time for Don Juan in Soho. Three plays about Love actually, three [...]

For you and I

Do you know where this quote comes from, and this time without running to google right away ? I didn’t.

Drawing with Light

Drawing with lights in Dingwalls : Love Actually in Lights
It was about half a year ago I last saw her, in Dingwalls in Camden. At that time I had just arrived in London. Now 6 months later, Camden is a place I know relatively well, and I am no longer that intimidated by [...]

The day started early, we wanted to catch the early sunlight on the first pictures. At 7.00am I stood up and wondered if we were going to see any sunlight at all. London was having a shower, not a regular one, a massive one. A shower where you can hear the water hitting the streets. [...]

Love Actually in a cookie

Love Actually in a cookie
I desperately need some. And tea.

(Now with pathetic filmclips)

I wonder.

It was a beautiful and long parade, with thousands of people participating, from policeofficers to dragqueens, from gay footballclubs to gay volleyballclubs, and from marines to gay people from nearly every religion present in London. It was a colourful parade with a lot of beautiful people, some dressed in uniform, and some dressed in, well, [...]

How to turn your room in London into your castle in 3 easy steps (and on a budget):

I don’t know exactly where I got the inspiration from, it suddenly was there. OK this triggered me a bit, and so did this film and this one too. I got ideas from listening to music, and many of them are a direct interpretation of a song. Making them absolutely relaxes me, and is something [...]

Not photoshopped, not tricked, not manipulated - this is a part of our Office.
And it isn’t my corkboard no, mine has other items on it. I don’t have to explain that in further details, do I.
(More Love Actually:
Love Actually on the wall
Love Actually in a coffee cup)
And about noodles - who needs them …

Every day I bike past this anonymous appartmentbuilding, because it is located about 50 meters from where I work. And suddenly one day (about a week or two ago) the building got a bit more interesting. I know that graffitti normally shouldn’t be encouraged, but today I brought my camera, stopped shortly, and here you [...]

Well I like the cup on the top of this blog, but those are even better. And I don’t even like coffee.
