Tuesday, May 31, 2011. The Portrait of a Woman. She must be willing to please. To change so that nothing should change. It's easy, impossible, hard, worth trying. Her eyes are if need be now deep blue, now gray,. Dark, playful, filled for no reason with tears. She sleeps with him like some chance acquaintance, like his one and only. She will bear him four children, no children, one. Naive yet giving the best advice. Weak yet lifting the weightiest burdens. Has no head on her shoulders but will have.

http://april-whatever.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 27, 2013. If my life is sad why am I so happy. 1 month, 13 countries. Hours on planes, more hours of sleepless nights. Sounds like a nightmare or like a lot of fun. I have never looked better in my life like I look now. I have never been happier. Despite occasional time zone confusion and question I ask on board waiting for the plane to take off: 'actually, where are we going now? One can say: poor girl! Leaves the office at 20:30 on Friday night. Links to this post. Where The Hell Am I?

Wednesday June 17, 2009 in 50s cinema. A bleak and wintry landscape, where truck drivers tear along country lanes at breakneck speed. Britain in 1957; roadside cafes and bed-sitting rooms. An impressive cast featuring Stanley Baker, Patrick McGoohan, Sean Connery, Herbert Lom, David McCallum, Gordon Jackson, William Hartnell and Sid James. You’ve guessed it:. One of my all time favourite British movies. For maniacal film roles McGoohan is very good in. To specific Westerns, although I personally find the...

Wednesday October 8, 2014 in 70s cinema. Is a psychological thriller starring David Hemmings. Made in 1970 and directed by Richard C. Sarafian (see also. The film had all but disappeared from memory until recently resurfacing for online rental. What at first looks to be a quaint period piece with an endearing supporting cast (Arthur Lowe, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Daniel Massey and Patricia Hayes) surprisingly turns out be be a very effective and tense ride.

Monday, September 06, 2010. My Superheros Special Power. Bi-location was and for ever will be my dream super-power. I always felt that one me is not enough for this fantastically interesting word and I thought that I tend to miss out on so many things. but perhaps.it only expresses my lack of decisiveness when it comes to places and events I want to take part in. Links to this post. The house of Elrond in Rivendell has everything I love. The waterfall, fresh spring, the mountains and years old trees.
