Wow, time flies. Wasn’t it just summer? And now we have already Advent coming. My plan today is to bake the first two batches of Christmas cookies, and to decorate the house with two tons of assorted Christmas decorations. Since I will not be celebrating Christmas in my own home this year (heading back home…
Between holiday preparations, exciting premieres and business trips, I have neglected a few overdue thanks and notices. How appropriate that it is Thanksgiving when I can not only launch into “the next hundred” with a series of RAPS minis that were designed as little thank yous, but also post the result of the latest badge fundraiser……
As I was nearing the magic number 100, I had a “cunning sleeve up my plan”. What if I could not only time it with my blogiversary, but also celebrate with a special project that would bring all 100 shrines together. A review, an anniversary – a reward for myself? That was in September, and I…
Apologies for a late round-up this week. As you may have gauged, I usually compile the round-up the night before it is due to be published. Yesterday I was not able to. We had a teenage party in the house, and even though I moved my fancy laptop somewhere else, I used it to watch…
In between the madness of work, an upcoming business trip, and my social life yes, I do have one such I turn to a shrine post for a bit of fun and insanity. It has been two weeks since the last RAPS was posted, and the discussion and processing of UATSC, as well as editing and…
Attempt number 5 at getting a review of UATSC down. Yes. It has taken me five days and four scrapped attempts to finally post my review of UATSC. To jump ahead, I think the film is good. But I almost felt a little bit too entertained and not quite affected enough by it, due to the…
Like many of us I feel very depressed today, in the face of the atrocities of Paris. I have several friends living in Paris and two photographer friends were on a visit there this weekend on the occasion of Paris Photo, the international fine art photography fair, which has been closed today, under the order of the…
Apologies for skipping the round-up last week. I was a bit distRActed. By this. Sorry. Just had to be done. But now on to this week’s tumblr compilation. Dominated by UATSC premiere, of course, of which you probably already have had an overload. I am therefore omitting most of that – hence this round-up is…
Moving on to day 2 of the “Therapy Weekend for Fan Girls in Need of RA-Re-Ignition” – this will be a less text-heavy post than part 1 but pretty easy on the eye instead. But for posterity’s sake a quick recap of the event itself: The screening of UATSC with cast and crew had been scheduled…
Some of you may have already been waiting for this. The official write-up and the full photographic loot of the UATSC premiere in Leeds. A little preamble – there is enough material here to draw this out as a loooong, slooooow, and sweet death by guylty pleasure, and since RL demands my attention, I will…
