Tube tragedy

Tragic. Romantic. But. Pretty. Cute. Guy.

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 […]

It’s all around

February 1st, 2008

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.

Dreaming with a broken heart

January 29th, 2008

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 […]

Tragic. Romantic. But. Pretty. Scrummy. Man.

Let my love open the door

January 13th, 2008

I heart it

I picked it up, walked to the counter to pay and suddenly realized how pathetic it must have looked. I wanted to say - this is going to be a prop for my short - it is not for Valentine’s day - but I didn’t say anything. I just paid and walked out […]

Under my skin - a pathetic poem

Under my skin

Someone once called me a tragic-romantic. So true.
But I like writing them.

Love actually on his back

Love actually on his back

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

Love+Rock: If I could change the world

[ Send her here ]
(Her legs seem to be growing, she is unconsciously turning into a lanky girl. Nothing wrong with lanky people though, on the contrary)
Blame Bill for reading Eric. And Eric for singing this song.
I saw And when did you last see your father with Colin […]

Love ain’t cheap

On Portobello Road it costs £199.99.

All you need is love …

I think this is one of my favourite photographs, and I have the feeling it will be for quite a while too.
Taken today on Trafalgar Square.

Love Actually, in a box

Love Actually, in a box

I was wandering around the market on Portobello Road again. Mainly because it was lunch time and the weather is so nice at the moment, but also because I was trying to get some pictures of the market for Kate, as she asked for it a while ago (and I am […]

Love Actually, in a tree

Love Actually, in a tree

Love Actually, in a tree on the heath
They still exist, the true romantics.
“Ah love, a dreaded bond, yet so easily severed …”
And then there are those that are more sceptical.
This picture is taken on Hampstead Heath, and I expect the carvings to be several years old.
Did they live happily ever after […]

Till China and Africa meet

March 21st, 2007

Subway Beijing

I’ll love you, dear, I’ll love you
Till China and Africa meet,
And the river jumps over the mountain
And the salmon sing in the street
I’ll love you till the ocean
Is folded and hung up to dry
And the seven stars go squawking
Like geese about the sky.
W. H. Auden

Is it Love Actually

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 […]

On the other hand

September 1st, 2006

She : Lip piercing in the middle of her lip, and a tongue piercing.
He: weird metal pins in the back of his neck.
A huge ring in his ear, not on, but in, he had an enormous hole in his left ear.
Tongue piercing. And 2 very sticky and sharp pins coming out of his underlip, and […]

Well now, don’t think that there isn’t anything happening on the romantic front. There is.
There has been love flowering by the counter for people with under 5 items.
And I actually already found a very nice Londoner. And he loves me, unconditionally. I am a bit overwhelmed by his attention, I am not used to all […]
