Have you seen Drive yet? I don’t remember the last time I found myself head-over-heels in love with a movie. It has everything. It has car chase scenes, speed, a kickass soundtrack (I love the funky 80s theme going on there), violence (god, the violence in this film is amazing!) and most importantly, it has...

Aperture
Yesterday, I managed to drag myself out of the apartment to buy bread at the bakery, a 10-minute walk from our building.

The dog who was a cat inside
I fall for these things, all the time… I love how the cat wants to chase mice, and how the dog just wants to sniff doggie butts! Note: Jul, if you can’t decide between getting me a dog or a cat, what do you say about a dog who has an inner cat, or a...
