First day in San Francisco
When Reinout mentioned the upcoming GDC conference as a mean to an end to get a few days of holiday, it seemed like an excellent idea. Especially since it’s almost a year since our last holiday. The departure was less than ideal though. Reinout had a lot to prepare and a new project that recently [...]

Blissful start of the weekend
In a rare moment of tranquility, I’ve been left undisturbed in bed with my laptop. It’s a stark contrast to the last days where 4 out of 5 days went sleepless. It’s the first night I actually slept for the whole duration with exception from attending Sebastian a few times. Still it is blissful. It’s [...]
Conspicuous Consumption
was a term coined by economist Thorstein Veblen, to describe the behaviour of the nouveau riche. Little has happened since the term came to use a century back. And I couldn’t help but thinking of the madness the Christmas season has turned into. Inbetween lunches and gluhwein (mould wine) we go on a trail through [...]
Contemplating on that holiday
It’s not even mid week and I feel utterly exhausted. The word holiday has become my mantra, yet it’s as elusive as ever. Will we ever get away to some sunny place, where one can just forget about work (not to mention life!) and revamp oneself to 2.x? The words “NOT” and “BANKING” spring somehow [...]
Dinner vs. Target Practice
We were suppose to go out for a dinner tête-à-tête, but the universe had other plans alas… Perhaps it was that penis post (he got about 10 text messages querying hygiene issues and I suppose other things too) or the fact I fell asleep waiting for his imminent arrival. Who knows…the honest truth is I [...]
Outfit of the day
Pulled out my vintage find from last year’s Paris trip. A wollen pull-over dress from Jean Paul Gaultier. Looks splendid with the Christian Louboutin boots and Fendi bag. What do you think?
storms, sleepless nights and a good book
It’s stormy, and several branches has fell in the garden. But I relish in the autumn storm, with a glass of white wine (somewhat stale and tasting faintly of vinegrette) and a good book “the art of murder: by Michael White. It makes for perfect escapism on an evening which is unlikely to bring any [...]
My Army of Lovers….revisited
It’s flashback time to the early 90′s and I’m looping one of my all time favourite “My Army of Lovers” from the Swedish extravagant and hedeonistic band with the same name. A cavalcade of sensual, erotic quotes comprising its lyrics, I can’t help but getting a certain “Emmanuelle” deja vu whilst listening. “A cherry moon [...]
The Quiet
There is something most wonderful with the smell of perfect crafted leather. Worked into detail, with the emblematic logo of two intertwined G’s, a Gucci bag never fails to deliver. Nor does a pair of Gucci shoes, or a Hugo Boss suit for that matter too. I got them all, in a matter of minutes. [...]
