What is wrong with people's taste?
So, Empire's 100 Sexiest Movie Stars Of All Time-poll is out and the winner is (da-da-da-daaa)....
Keira Knightley.
Keira Knightley?
Please. The look of a woman too young to remember Miami Vice, too smooth to have had any experiences what-so-ever (apart from kissing Chiwetel Ejiofor, which, admittedly, is not so bad) - perfectly cute, but the sexiest movie star of all time??? I thinketh not.
Ohmigod.
I've become one of those people.
If someone bumps into a life that seems to be mine, can you please tell it to return to me shortly? I really, really need it.
(Pssst. Just one more thing. I am so bored with Orlando Bloom. So bored. And probably too old to appreciate his, ehm, strenghts.)

Cool Brandleaders list out today:
Does anyone else find it suspicious that half of the judges seem to be somehow connected to Dazed & Confused?
Otherwise, the usual suspects; Selfridges, Top Shop, Diesel &, of course, my old alma mater: Goldsmiths.
And really? - Stella? Land Rover? David Beckham? Lenny K? Peter-friggin'-Jackson?

Now, why is it, that every time an item is dropped on the floor, regardless of how large an area this floor covers, one is ultimately bound to step on this item at any given time, and thereby injuring one's foot?

Briefly on the new Danish canon, which is already being criticised; not enough writers of children's literature, it is said. What critics forget, is that there is not automatically a democratic inclusion of every writer, that the majority enjoy reading. What they also forget is that it is still possible, in Danish lessons, to allow pupils to read other writers than the canonised. And that this canon has not been made solely for the purpose of Danish primary school education.

My eyes are killing me.
I have somehow managed to get permission to work from home, in a job in which this is strictly speaking not possible.
However, I also have a project which needs to be delived Monday - this means that I actually have to WORK FROM HOME. Appalling.
Fortunately I am in a position where at least I can gaze out the window once in a while, play loud music, drink tea and go get kneaded by an experienced beautician later on this afternoon. So all is not bad.

Back from Denmark, where things somehow always stay the same. Spent two days at the beach which is one of my favorite places to be.
The North Sea is kind of magical, kind of exciting - many beaches are nicer; much more beautiful, the water clearer, the sand cleaner - but the atmosphere is almost Gothic, in the Poe kind of way. There is a great sense of solitude, especially when summer's gone, a few people in wellies looking for amber, deserted holiday houses, the foamy edge of the water telling stories of waves and wind.
Got drunk on Danish beer, stuffed myself with Swedish pea-soup, raved about the babies and sang songs relating to times gone by.
And then there's the break-up of a marriage of which I will say nothing else but that it didn't take long for the semi-racist jokes to appear, now, did it?! Which just goes to show that as long as there's some kind of attachment to Danes (through marriage, adoption or celebrity) 'foreigners' (of the darker-skinned kind) can be welcomed to the country. The minute this attachment vanishes it's open season. Shame, really.

Right then.
Pre-midlife crisis it is.
Exhibit A:
Vince Vaughn obsession. Not common for thirty-something otherwise intelligent individual.
Exhibit B:
California obsession. Just a bit silly really.
Exhibit C:
Utter boredom when performing most tasks which may be mundane but otherwise quite acceptable.
Etc:
Forgetfulness. Not just the odd phone-number, but of the 'where are my pants?'-variety. This is not due to old age but to an attention span the size of a pea.
Etc:
A sudden fondness for big cars, loud noises and 'happy' colours.
Etc:
Meditations on the joys of sex, drugs & rock'n roll.

Hehehehe
Charlie Brooker's description of Kate Thornton in yesterday's Guide ('the straight human equivalent of a scarcely detectable kitten's fart') had me in stitches the entire day. So mean and yet so true.
Re. recent California-obsession: A place in which Roger Avery has a dermatologist has got to be worth visiting.
Tonight at 7: Pet Shop Boys do Eisenstein. I won't be there, but I know I should be.

Check out BetaVote and vote for your choice of US president!
Coughs *Kerry*
In entertainment news: Franz Ferdinand scooped the Mercury award - not sure how I feel about that; the album is very, very good, but hardly innovative. (Except perhaps for people who have never, ever heard of the 70'ies!)
I am dying to see Anchorman, thus continuing my voyage into the rude, crude and rather macho world of American unsophisticated comedy. I don't know why these things appeal to me so much other than a possible overload of testosterone. Then again, I was never very keen on girly stuff, such as dusty pink, feathers, chick-lit and Titanic - I was always more fond of bodily functions and entertainment that hits where it hurts. In so many ways.

Italians:
* Drive like mad
* Make gorgeous liquorice ice cream
Next:
Must go to California. There must be something about a place that inspires songs.
