Or turning something into something else. I recently stumbled upon this interesting tutorial that shows how to turn a t-shirt into a bag. I decided to try with an old t-shirt that I was actually thinking of throwing away. Instead, I know have a very sturdy bag that I use to carry my lunch box [...]
And the verdict on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is… Not as amazing as some reviews say, a good movie nonetheless. But I am afraid I won’t be able to look at Daniel Craig for a while without thinking of Simon’s Cat YouTube videos. I don’t want to write spoilers, but I just had [...]
Please, let director and cast do what they do best. If you’ve read recent movie reviews, you might have guessed what film I’m referring to. If not, well… I’m talking about Dream House. The infamous trailer that many say spoils the entire film, doesn’t really spoil that much. Or let’s put it this way: it [...]
I like all Bond films, even the ones with Daniel Craig. My least favourite Bond is Roger Moore, go figure. I am successfully recovering from my addiction to Moleskine notebooks. The day I found out the company now also sells bags, pens etc. they lost me. The new items basically sell “just because of the [...]
Yesterday afternoon I turned on the TV to have some ‘background noise’ while I would be doing some stretching exercises for my back (long story) and, ta-dah… a Bond movie, Diamonds Are Forever. How entertaining! No, seriously, the older the Bond film, the more entertaining. By entertaining I mean funny, because some scenes filmed in [...]
Last night I saw the last of the Harry Potter films, but I guess it would be better to wait a little before I post any detailed comment on it. I assume a lot of people still haven’t seen it, although I’m sure the hard core fans camped outside theatres world wide. I’m more of [...]
I don’t like that. Actually, I don’t like reviews in general. I like comments from customers, readers or spectators. But critics reviews can fool you sometimes. Especially for books. You read this wonderful ramble on how fantastic this book is, magnifically written, sensational: “the new [random famous author]” and so on. Then you buy the [...]
I was following the updates on The Hobbit and I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the role of Beorn has been given to one of my favourite Swedish actors. YAY! Grattis Micke! That’s good news… less English speaking actors in the cast. But then I read that the film is likely to be [...]
I recently finished watching the BBC Wallander series n.2. I am a big fan of The Kurt Wallander Series, I read all the books last Summer before I moved to the UK. My mother had them all in the family library and she said they were really well written and thoroughly enjoyed them. I was [...]
After a whole week of sunshine and not less than 25 °C / 77 °F all day long, I kind of appreciated some fresh air this morning. Finally, a Summer storm! Well… no. It was dark, it was cloudy and it was chilly indeed. For just about 1 hour. Now it’s sunny again and definitely warmer. I wish I had [...]
