It's  4:00 o'clock in the morning darnit, listen to me good. That's an Elton John song I just thought I'd add it in there for effect. You see, I have been awake since 4:00 a.m. Last night, I had some "half baked notion" to stay up past my bedtime to watch the late, great Heath Ledger in the Oscar winning, cowboy romance film "Brokeback Mountain." I'd forgotten that much of ...

January 2008 is soon to be a thing of the past and I couldn't be happier. To try to break up the monotony of it all, we decided to go to the opera. Last night, we visited the Royal Danish Theatre in Copenhagen to see an opera called Lucio Silla, which Mozart wrote when he was only 16 years old.

Lucio Silla is Mozart's 7thopera and takes place in Rome around 79 B.C. Directed ...

I, like most people was really shocked to read about Australian actor Heath Ledger's recent death in the news today. Actually, shocked is an understatement. He was only 28 years old!  Apparently, he was found lying on the floor in an apartment in Manhattan yesterday. I am not sure what happened to him but I read an article at that blog - you know the one that sounds like the socialite's name?

The other night I watched the TV program "What not to wear" with Trinny and Susannah. If you do not know what I am talking about it is a makeover show based in the U.K. Every week the two fashion savvy women find a fashion victim and torture and torment her. (a.k.a. make her over.)

The victim this week was arguing that inexpensive jeans look just as good as the more high ...

Filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, this heavy film includes an all star cast including soon to be real life mom, Halle Berry. Benico Del Toro and David Duchovny are also included in the talented roster.

In the film the ...

Neil Young will be performing in Copenhagen in February with Pegi Young (his wife) as support. Apparently, the last time he was here was way back in 2003. I almost didn't see the point in writing this as the tickets for the upcoming Neil Young concert sold out quicker than you can say "harvest moon." Perhaps we could hang about outside of the concert hall and press our ears against ...

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful New Year's.  I worked, so you know not the most exciting way to start 2008. We've been spending a lot of time sitting in front of the new TV over the holidays watching it not work. Something is wrong with the cable connection or something like that, I am not sure exactly - not too technically inclined here.

The holidays and TV watching ...
