Is As Good As It Looks?
Yes, it is; excellent, the food is excellent and the staff is super-friendly. It is: International, spicy, the music is nice and the whole thing simply oozes overall goodness. It is highly recommended, it is to be found in both Skanstull and Hornstull, obviously, that does not make things less appealing or tasty for that… Continue reading Is As Good As It Looks?
Looking For The Correct Fountain
Cactus 1931? I’ve never seen it before. The Paris Colonial Exhibition (or “Exposition coloniale internationale”, International Colonial Exhibition) was a six-month colonial exhibition held in Paris, France in 1931 that attempted to display the diverse cultures and immense resources of France’s colonial possessions. “Le Cactus”, architects André Granet and Roger-Henri Expert*. My grandmother (allegedly) hid… Continue reading Looking For The Correct Fountain
De-construction II
It just had to be added… Elektroindustrija television. Yes, yet again it is nothing but the Brutalist concrete of old Yugoslavia that inspires a new (and old) generation. © BBC News Please see: A Thing Of Beauty VIII.
Paris
Obélisque de Louxor. The Place de la Concorde (French pronunciation: [plas də la kɔ̃kɔʁd]) is one of the major public squares in Paris, France. Measuring 7.6 hectares (19 acres) in area, it is the largest square in the French capital. It is located in the city’s eighth arrondissement, at the eastern end of the Champs-Élysées.… Continue reading Paris
Who’s Afraid Of…?
As I recall it – Eraserhead was/is really frightening, and especially so the soundtrack that goes wit it. Henry Spencer tries to survive his industrial environment, his angry girlfriend, and the unbearable screams of his newly born mutant child. Let’s not forget: – The Elephant Man (1980) – Dune (1984) – Blue Velvet (1986) –… Continue reading Who’s Afraid Of…?
A Thing Of Beauty VIII
Brutalist concrete of old Yugoslavia inspires new generation. Other stops on the tour include the spectacular Sava Centar, a conference and performance venue which seems to have taken its interior design cues from science fiction, mixed with classicist and modernist styles. © BBC
De-construction I
If you are an existentialist and you truly believe that you as an individual is responsible for your own actions, that the consequences of your actions have a profound impact on everything, that they influence the World and more significantly the people (humans) surrounding you, as I truly do. Then, logically, sooner or later you… Continue reading De-construction I
I Just Heard The Perfectly Timed Rewind Or “Wheel*”
Yesterday, quite late at night in all naturality and courtesy of 6 Figures Gang on rinse.fm. I heard the perfectly timed rewind**. How is that possible? In all actuality or technically it is not. It was by pure coincidence and something that is not entirely inconceivable if you happen to listen to rinse.fm propagating from… Continue reading I Just Heard The Perfectly Timed Rewind Or “Wheel*”
Junebug
Definitely not an early adopter in this case – most definitely not. The Handmaid’s Tale was originally published in 1985 by the author Margaret Atwood. And apparently she is of Canadian decent, incidentally, there is another author whom I have read intensely/extensively that also happens to be of Canadian decent. And if my memory does… Continue reading Junebug
