my idea of heaven

... you walk into a room and take a deep breath of gin and tonic. Seriously, if someone could start pumping atomized gin and lime through the air conditioner at my work for me? I'd be less of a bitch. In fact, I'd be downright delightful.

Bompass & Parr are English jelly specialists and creators of culinary events.... and they are currently holding a sold out event in London in which an old store front has been turned into "alcoholic architecture".... seriously, a room full of gin-laden fog.

I know, I know! it's sold out! and it's in London! but don't you just love new ideas? Their past events look intriguing as well, how about "scratch-and-sniff cinema"? which might be so-so if the film was say Chocolat but Peter Greenaway's The Cook, The Theif, His Wife and Her Lover with smells of 'dusty books' and 'rotting meat' .... brilliant.

p.s. If you haven't seen that movie. Rent it immediately.

Still Life

ahhhh.... so I can't always think what to blog next.
What if I just take the last topic and ask myself if I could create a blog post that would fit under the same title. Unoriginal?

Vincent Bousserez isn't.

one of the best thrice named actors of all time

My two favourite actors are Philip Seymour Hoffman and William H. Macy.... I'm not sure if I have a thing for thrice named men or if it's a coincidence that I find them both fabulous and they have so many names. This ramble is unrelated to what I have to tell you.

Synecdoche New York is incredible, it's intense, enthralling and after two hours that felt like four I was exhausted. If it's not playing where you're at right now take a MENTAL NOTE.

So So So Good.



(note: not a good idea to take a first date and sure as hell don't go if you're feeling depressed
