Sigh..

Just as I was planning to write something about gardening.

Well done Danny Boyle!

For once an opening ceremony that was fun, exciting and worth watching 'till the end. I knew that Brits would have it their way. But please, never again sportscasters commenting on such occasion.

As the athletes began marching in I couldn't help but thinking all the associations their countries are linked, at least in my head. Yes it is supposed to be a celebration of sport, determination, success, peace and so on. And yes the athletes themselves probably have nothing to do with these issues, but it is rather unbelievable that for example Afghanistan and USA were both there. Or imagine that these countries, in stead of healthy and fresh looking athletes, had brought the worst of their culture on that stadium. "Next we have Liberia led by Charles Taylor and his child soldiers. Here comes Cambodia with old Khmer Rouge leaders who managed to escape justice. This country you all know, they're the biggest human rights violators in the world."

I'm not a sports fan, but somehow you get sucked into these mega events. So most likely I'll be following London these upcoming days. Big emotions are what we're looking for, I think, and there's plenty to come. In the midst of it all I hope that the viewers could have their eyes open to more than that one amazing performance. After all it's the result of years of hard work in a certain culture, country, society and piece of history.

Never mind the Pollocks here's the Stone Roses

That was a long summer break. I've kept myself busy and away from home. Time to start typing again.

Since they're back and oh so good I post this song. Though I think it's time for music magazines to find new topics.  Yes they're great and the gigs like a dream come true, but time to move on eh?

Love the moves, clothes and haircut. And the title which is NME cover 1989.
