Sundays

This week I’ve been battling a nasty and rather stubborn cold, and there have been a couple of days where my head was in a fog. So I’ve mainly been busy with coughing my lungs out and sneezing my head off. All in all simply sharing the gift when out and about! Luckily for me, … Continue reading →

God only knows…

Don’t worry, I’m not going all religious on you, that’s not me. It’s merely a BBC Music promo using the Beach Boys’ old hit. I just really like the art direction, because I’m shallow. 😉

Soundtrack

Because Guardians of the Galaxy is a good summer* block movie with an awesome soundtrack. *well, not particularly summer in this corner of Europe. More like an early autumn with all the rain, hail, thunderstorms and gales, interspersed with some sun and blue skies.

Waves

An oldie, but a good one nonetheless.

A musical detour

Once again the BBC managed to bring an interesting song to the forefront.    

15 minutes

Infamy infamy! They’ve all got it in for me! Fame. I’m a bit bewildered and bemused by our modern society’s desire for fame. In some cases not even a mere desire, but a real hunger. When you ask kids from a certain age what they’d want to be, quite a few of them will say … Continue reading →

A play’s a play.

Tonight I got the chance to see the live broadcasting of Coriolanus presented by the National Theatre. Despite the proximity of London, it is a very costly trip to make just for a play, so only next time when I find myself in London town for other reasons will I go to the theatre and … Continue reading →

Happy Holidays!

Considering at my core I’m an 80s child, I could not leave you without this gem.

The Hobbit…the moments I don’t want to remember

While I wrote it, I completely missed the spiders. For a reason, because indeed, those spiders were done a bit too realistically for my taste. I don’t like spiders. So to have to see them on the giant screen in such detail…yech. Same reason why I dreaded Shelob in LOTR.  At least that was only … Continue reading →

The Hobbit: the desolation..

Quick review: much better than the first, but still not great. Following will most definitely contain spoilers! Long version: It suffers from the same ailment as in part one. Too much is stuffed in and the pacing in certain areas. At least this time it doesn’t fall flat, i.e. the council in Rivendell in AUJ. … Continue reading →

(Un)forgettable

Inside Man is on the TV. It’s not a bad movie. As a matter of fact I’ve seen it a couple of times before. Yes, I most definitely have seen it a couple of times. So many twists and turns along the way, and nothing is what it seems. Still, you’d think I would know … Continue reading →

Radioactive…

Now the song I know, but I never got to see the video until recently. OMG. Such silliness. It should come as no surprise I liked the silliness. Ergo, Imagine Dragons.

Original plot…

As I go about my days, mulling about whatever, I also spotted some chatter online. And I do mean, the original kind of online buzz – free of the marketing ploy we all can smell a mile away. There was this constant chatter on this show Orphan Black. I truly had no idea what it … Continue reading →

Bloody weather…

‘Nuff said.

Not a fan

The title may be a bit misleading though, as I often find myself becoming a fan of someone or something, but just not a Fan. Or a Good Fan, or the Ultimate Supportive Fan. Or the Number #1 Fan. Or whatever you want to call it. fan noun Definition of FAN 1: an enthusiastic devotee … Continue reading →
