HOTEL CHEVALIER.....


I love this short movie. (It is the first part of the movie Darjeeling Limited) and directed by Wes Anderson. Probably my favorite short movie ever.
Jason Schwartzman and Natalie Portman does it so human, you can really identify with them and all their issues regarding love, jealousy and pain.
The Peter Sarstedt song coming in is so sad and everything is just very beautiful, -enjoy...

LAKE COMO AND I PHONE ISSUES

Just spent the weekend in one of the most beautiful places on earth, Lake Como in Italy.  Def a place for a wedding, if not mine, I'll happily accept invitations from anyone who decides to get married here...
There and then my best friend since 3 years and my most reliable provider of enviable vacation pics (my iPhone) decides to play tricks on me and to start acting wierd, tried to talk to it and tell it this wasn't the right moment, but nothing helped, which resulted in that I don't have any pics to upload from this fab w-e...
This is not fair, what have I done? I have always been kind and never cheated with another phone during the three years we spent together and it thanks me with ingratitude and betrayal...
Hopefully I'll find someone else who can eventually e mail me some or I will forever feel guilty I didn't bring a camera...

ANOTHER NIGHT IN PARIS...

Last night I was hanging out in the 17th arr in Paris. 
It was movie making time. This is a scene where me and some other guys were outside a very VIP Parisian nightclub. We were the trendy, goodlooking bunch and were suppose to try everything to get in, while the bouncer and the other dude played hard to get as it usually goes. After a while the french comedian Elie Semoun (who plays himself in the movie) drives by in some fancy car with two chicks and after having fought with some bad guys outside he gets in. I was lucky and also got in, but I can tell you that night was the longest time I ever waited outside a club in my life. (Several hours of re takes) Luckily it was just a movie ;-) 
Out in cinemas next year...

Outside the fake club "Le Branché"
The doorman and his pointer ;-)
It's not me who is short! This guy is 2,10 m tall. For real.

BEAUTIFUL DAY

Bonjour, Had lunch with my friend Gregory at Café de Flore today, really nice. I kind of rediscovered it.
Have to hang out here more often...
Gregory said something funny. He said; "I think you are gonna get married soon. I can feel it." 
Then I asked him if he could feel with who, but that he could't, unfortunately...
:-)

Hi!
Haven't been around for a while... I'm in Paris working on a new plan. Fixing stuff, meeting people in the business and thinking. Can't tell you what yet, but it could be cool if it happened.
I say like below;" I'm not telling you it's going to be easy, I'm telling you it's going to be worth it" (it applies to many other things too.)

ALWAYS BE ONE STEP AHEAD. . .

ME BY LISELOTTE WATKINS

Liselotte Watkins is a friend and an extremely talented illustrator.
When I was looking around the internet to find new interesting art I stumbled upon this
old illustration she did of me when I was around 23. It was in a series of 4 or 5 illustrations she used for an exhibition in Stockholm, where she draw female friends. 

I'll also show you an older illustration (below) she did of me when I lived in Paris, when I was around 27 or 28. 

Check out her work here:

(11. Or just book a ticket and get out of here....)

I HAVE FALLEN OUT OF LOVE...

Back in Paris for two days and I've never felt so unmotivated, unstimulated, depressed and bored.
This city feels more and more like the wrong one and the only thing I'm doing is sitting at home, staring at the walls or reading a book, trying hard to do something creative, or stuff I should do, but I can't concentrate. I don't feel like doing anything. Nothing makes me feel excited and the only thing I can think of and daydream about is to get out of here asap, where and when...
Sorry Paris, but I've fallen out of love with you.
It can't continue like this, I have to leave Paris.  for good.
