Loosing Grip

It seems that this week-end, I reached another low in the numb disconnectiveness that characterises my ever more idiosyncratic life these days. For the past couple of weeks, I have given up connected to all the (more or less) social website, I usually have on in the background all day long.

On Friday, on my way home from a business meeting with Slightly I stopped at a shop on my way to home and bought all sorts of sugary junk food which I devoured within 24 hours. Having been the witness of bulimia in the past, I think, I can recognise a very mild attack of it in this.

I was supposed to attend a meeting on Saturday. While I was aware of the date of this meeting, I failed to connect this date to the day itself and I had to be reminded of the meeting by someone else attending it. I arrived there late.

Finally, a few minutes ago, I realised that I forgot to attend the monthly meeting of my reading group. I had received a reminder on Monday and actually really enjoyed the book and was therefore looking forward to the meeting. Although I spent the whole day at home doing nothing, the meeting simply slipped off my mind.

This is all rather worrying and frightening to the control freak that I normally am.

  1. Are you OK? Virtual hug.

    I'm not sure which is worse, eating sugary things to the point of cataleptic shock, or admitting to enjoying "50 Ways To Say Goodbye" ;-))

    yes, am fine, thanks. always am, in the end.

    Although I bought some more junk today while doing my normal food shopping... going through it now. It's more to do with gluttony this time though I think.

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...
