Fracas Noir – Susanne Waldau – te Brake ~ for better or worse

The jetlag is killing me. Or more like 3 people being out of synch in one hotelroom. Once again I woke up before the sun did and started cramping up. That together with tingling sensation in my hand and loss of power are the tell tale signs I need to get more sleep. As a [...]

I’ve just got back to the hotel after a looong day of shopping. In the end I only got 5(!) different tanktops from Burberry and some different hair products for a friend of mine. All in all I’ve been very frugal with using the credit card. I’ve been running in and out of department stores, [...]

It’s weird, bordering to the insane to watch the Oscars normal time. At 8.30 pm the award cermony is over and I almost feel cheated. I’m left with an overwhelming “is this really it?” feeling. On the plus side I’m sitting glued to the telly watching the stars from the afterparties. It’s something Europe is [...]

It’s been one of those loooong days. Two meetings, one of which lasting for half a day. Dinner that didn’t work out so well on my part (I dread another veggie burger), numerous glasses of wines later and a late night business conversation with my hubby. Eventually I’m so tired of business, I make my [...]

Finally in bed after another non-stop day. 2 meetings down, administration and a near empty inbox I am ready to leave for Cologne tomorrow for GamesCom. Although my schedule is completely open for once, I look forward to some good parties, networking and bumping into familiar faces from the games industry. Sebastian and Victoria are [...]

I love horror movies, especially the more psychological ones based on ghosts and demons. Tonight we saw a film which we bought on Queensday called White Noise. It’s based on what’s called EVP, or Electronic Voice Phenomena. In other words recordings of spirits transmitted through tapes, TV or radio. Although not the scariest film, it [...]

The thing with having a digital camera is that you take so many pictures. In a way I miss having the old fashioned photo albums. Those carried memories for life, invaluable, whereas their digital versions are forgotten as soon as the picture was downloaded to some anonymous folder. Well digital version in all honour, here [...]

Paris in autumn is fantastic. It doesn’t matter if it’s windy and rainy, because with a cafe or bistro around every corner, you don’t have to ever risk getting too wet or cold. Reinout and I have been strolling around with Sebastian, shopping, eating and drinking. In short perfect for a small city break. Now [...]

Yes, what can go wrong will go wrong! We were suppose to leave early in the morning. But one of our appointments got cancelled for today so we are left with only two (I know I’m being somewhat secretive about these appointments but it shall be disclosed soon). In any case we left later in [...]

I’m so excited! Tomorrow Reinout , Sebastian and I are going to Paris. The city I have a long lasting love affair with. In fact it’s beyond love….adoration and worship more like it.  We are making a small stop in between as we have some appointments to attend to. I managed to find a small, [...]
