Almost everything we’re doing in these last weekes & days are last things. The last time we eat at this restaurant, the last time we get a coffee here, the last time we cycle by this corner, etc. etc. It feels strange.
Last weekend we had our last guests. Mark & Chiara arrived on Thursday for [...]
It’s amazing how quickly time seems to be passing by these days. It’s probably because we’re cramming in more activities than ever before.
Somehow, a couple of weeks ago, we started learning about a couple of special cocktail bars that are hard to find, and even harder to get in to. I don’t really know why [...]
We have recently bought a video camera, so now we’re learning to use it. This is me going to the office.
Apologies for poor camera handling (we’re learning) and the huge ‘Evaluation Copy’ watermark. I am looking for a good tool to convert the video from it’s native huge format to something that can be shared [...]
I’ve been slow in updating, but here is a quick overview of what we’ve seen in the last couple of weeks.
Sat, Sep 21
The Woes & Julia Haltigan @ Spike Hill (Brooklyn)
We had seen both of these before, in different venues. This was a new venue for us (fun!) and both of their shows were fun!
Wed, Sep [...]
So Sandra came back from getting the mail in the office yesterday, and she had a thick, heavy enveloppe for me. From Starbucks. Could it be…?
It felt heavy, and I couldn’t wait to open it. The contents were a letter, welcoming me to the Starbucks Goldcard program as one of the first people in The [...]
Sorry. Again. We’re running way behind with the full updates, although we did have some time to write some shorter blog posts. But I’ve figured out why we didn’t write a big update. We’re running out of time. In three weeks, we’re back in Amsterdam. And before then, we want to do as many of [...]
As you may have gathered from earlier posts, I go to my Starbucks (on Broadway, close to Grand Street) quite often. About three times a day, roughly. And my order is always the same, a Doppio Macchiato. By now, five months in, most of the employees there (and there are many of them!) recognize me [...]
You might have noticed a lack of mentions of work here on the blog lately. Part of that has to do with the fact that I have worked on a number of pitches, so some of that work is classified. But mainly it was just that there wasn’t that much work.
However, it seems as though [...]
Of course, there is a lot of media coverage of the elections. Especially during the previous two weeks, where we had both the Democratic convention and the Republican convention. I don’t want to get into details of the parties, or their programs (programs? Do they have those? You really do not hear too much about [...]
Wow! That was my first reaction when we arrived at Angela’s house in Southampton. I had left New York on Tuesday morning, together with my colleague Ruby. We had arranged bus tickets for the Hamptons Luxury Liner (!), and around noon we arrived in Southampton. Angela came to pick us up, together with Anouk, her [...]
