Brief Encounters 2

Is it the warm weather? Celebs are out and about in Soho at the moment (bit like me really!). Last night it was dishy Jeremy Sheffield's turn to be spotted by my eagle eyes, reading a film script at a terrace. Not the first time I see him in Soho either (but then again, that is no real surprise....). God, this blog is turning into an online version of Hello...

Later on, on the way home, I met up with my former manager... And thankfully, guys' eyes are still meeting mine more often then usual...

    "reading a film script at a terrace."

    Is a bit of an assumption, he might have simply been reading his mail, wondering why his phone bill was so high or filling in job applications?

    Just because he is famous does not mean he is always interesting, if at all :0)

    Except that I saw it was a film script... and the fact that he was reading it doesn't make him interesting...

    So ner!!! ;O)

    I first spotted him years ago in the clip for Natalie Furtado's Torn. Didn't have a clue who he was at the time: just a nice piece of manhood. It is only when I came to this country that I learned who he was by seeing him in trailers for Holby City. I then saw him once crossing Seven Dials and was later told that he had been spotted at Woof http://www.clubwoof.co.uk/.

    As for his intellect, I can't say really, having never spoken to him.

    phew, fortuntely I read on having fallen off my seat when I read zefrog turned up at the set 6.30am (I couldn't post a comment to that blog), *thinking* that zefrog had fallen on hard times and had an offer he couldn't refuse from Liquid London, or Triga or the like...

    I had a bit of a celeb spot last friday night on my way to Soho. I passed Sir Trevor Nunn on his mobile outside the Royal Opera House, than 10 mins later standing behind me (no doubt trying to peek at my PIN) at the ATM opposite the Palace Theatre was Jo McGann (one of the brothers-the older one who appeared with Honor Blackman, who I also had the great fortune to be introduced to many years ago, in The Upper Hand, the British version of the US sitcom Who's the Boss).

A Short History of the Elephant and Castle and Its Name

Last night I attended a lecture by local historian Stephen Humphrey who discussed the general history of the Elephant & Castle, focussing more particularly on what he called its heyday (between 1850 and 1940). This is part of a week-long art project ( The Elephant Project ) hosted in an empty unit on the first floor of the infamous shopping centre, aiming to chart some of the changes currently happening to the area. When an historian starts talking about the Elephant and Castle, there is one subject he can not possibly avoid, even if he wanted to. Indeed my unsuspecting announcement on Facebook that I was attending such talk prompted a few people to ask the dreaded question: Where does the name of the area come from, for realz? Panoramic view of the Elephant and Castle around 1960/61. Those of us less badly informed than the rest have long discarded the theory that the name comes from the linguistic deformation of "Infanta de Castille", a name which would have become at...

pink sauce | life, with a pink seasoning

As of tonight, my blog Aimless Ramblings of Zefrog , that "place where I can vent my frustration, express ideas and generally open my big gob without bothering too many people" which will be 6 in a couple of months, becomes Pink Sauce . While the URLs zefrog.blogspot.com and www.zefrog.eu are still valid to access this page, the main URL now becomes www.pinksauce.co.uk. There is a vague plan to create a proper website for www.zefrog.eu to which the blog would be linked. Why Pink Sauce , you may ask. It is both simple and complicated. For several years, I have grown out of love for the name of the blog. It felt a bit cumbersome and clumsy. That said, I never really looked into changing it, seriously. Tonight, for dinner, I had pasta with a special pink sauce of my concoction ; single cream and ketchup. I know most people while feel nauseous at the very though of the mixture but trust me, it's gorgeous. Don't knock it till you've tried it. After having had my platte...

Tick, Tick... BOOM! - review

Tick, Tick... BOOM! (by and on Netflix), titled after one of its hero's musicals, is the film directorial debut of Lin-Manuel Miranda, the acclaimed creator of Hamilton . Perhaps appropriately, it is about musical theatre and, itself, turns into a musical; covering the few days, in early 1990, leading to star-crossed composer Jonathan Larson's 30 birthday.  At that time, Larson, who went on to write Rent , was in the throes of completing his first musical, on which he had been working for eight years, before a crucial showcase in front major players in the industry. With social puritanism and the AIDS epidemic as background – with close friends getting infected, or sick; some of them dying, Larson, a straight man, struggles to write a final key song for his show, while confronting existential questions about creativity, his life choices, and his priorities. The film features numerous examples of Larson's work meshed into the narrative of those few days. Some are part o...
