The bad in each other

LOVE this Feist video. She wrote a beautiful description on her website:

This video captures glimpses of something human, we get a peek inside something real between people - could be loss, longing and love. A lot of things which is about being a human being....

It is told in a way where it opens up more aspects than it concludes.

Maybe something we can't grasp, but it points at it or touches it and

leaves us with different kinds of emotions.

You could think about the video like a song or a poem, and different

people will connect to different things- and those connections might

be different from time to time when they watch it.

When love arose in heart and deed

When love arose in heart and deed 

To wake the world to greater joy, 

'What can she give me now?' said Greed, 

Who thought to win some costly toy. 

He rose, he ran, he stoop'd, he clutch'd;

And soon the Flowers, that Love let fall, 

In Greed's hot grasp were fray'd and smutch'd, 

And Greed said, 'Flowers! Can this be all?' 

He flung them down and went his way, 

He cared no jot for thyme or rose;

But boys and girls came out to play, 

And some took these and some took those— 

Red, blue, and white, and green and gold; 

And at their touch the dew return'd, 

And all the bloom a thousandfold—

So red, so ripe, the roses burn'd!

Things to do on a Sunday evening

1. Take a long, relaxing bath.

2. Drink coffee with your best friend at the cute coffee bar and ask the barista to make something fun of the milk

3. Read a book in bed, don't stop until you finished it

4. Write a love letter to one of your loved ones

5. Wear beautiful lingerie and perfume and just lay around the house

5. Tell someone you love him. Or at least ask your crush out on a date. Sunday evening, the perfect night to call him and make a date for next weekend.

At home with.. Chloe Sevigny

I admit, I'm not her biggest fan. But I do know she has a good taste. And for now, I can only dream about a house like this. Chloe, you do have an amazing house! 

A Century of books

Lately I'm into classic books again. When I was about 15 I had the same period of only reading classic Penguin books. And when walking through Waterstones Amsterdam last week, I found out they had made a whole shelf with the best classic books, from 1900 on, one for every year. Oh my, that's a century of books! So much to discover! 100 books. Back home I found the list at Waterstone's Facebook page. For the whole list move over here, here's the first 50 years.

1900 – The Wizard of Oz - Frank L. Baum – Eclipsed by the movie the original novel is even more fantastical

1901 – Kim - Rudyard Kipling – The dying days of the British Empire produced a very modern classic

1902 – Heart of Darkness – Joseph Conrad – Hugely influential, especially on cinema, this nightmare world is perfectly realised

1903 – Call of the Wild - Jack London – The first and best animal novel to deal with the thin veneer that separates civilisation from the natural world

1904 – Complete Plays - Anton Chekhov – Without Chekhov there would be no Beckett.

1905 – House of Mirth - Edith Wharton – This novel about an independent woman found echoes in the early days of the Suffragette movement

1906 – The Railway Children - E. Nesbit – A love song to innocent days soon to be swept away forever…

1907 – The Aran Islands - J.M. Synge – Modern travel literature began here

1908 – Wind in the Willows - Kenneth Graham – If you want a view of pre-war England here it is in all its rural innocence.

1909 – Ann Veronica - H.G. Wells – A sensation at the time, this novel about the rejection of male chauvinism still has the power to cause debate.

1910 – Phantom of the Opera - Gaston Lereaux – A much neglected horror novel dealing with obsession and what we mean by beauty.

1911 – The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett – Considered by many to be the best Children’s novel of the 20th Century this book continues to captivate.

1912 – Death in Venice - Thomas Mann – Unrequited love and the first gay novel – a milestone in literature

1913 – Sons and Lovers – D.H. Lawrence – Lawrence’s first and finest masterpiece gives a voice to the workers.

1914 – The Ragged Trousered Philanthropist - Robert Tressell – Arguably the greatest novel about socialism ever written.

1915 – The 39 Steps - John Buchan – We would have no James Bond without this seminal spy story.

1916 – A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man - James Joyce – More accessible than Ulysses this is Joyce at his most moving.

1917 – His Last Bow - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle – The end of Sherlock Holmes ushers in a century of detective fiction

1918 – My Antonia - Willa Cather – This novel of the hard life of American settlers paved the way for Steinbeck

1919 – Winesburg, Ohio - Sherwood Anderson – The first great modernist work of American fiction and an intimate portrait of smalltown life

1920 – The Mysterious Affair at Styles - Agatha Christie – Welcome in the world’s most loved crime writer with her finest work

1921 – Flappers and Philosophers - F. Scott Fitzgerald – The Jazz age - fabulous, frivolous and empty – soon to be swept away

1922 – The Waste Land - T.S. Eliot – Modernism truly begins with Eliot. This work is a cornerstone of 20th Century literature

1923 – The Prophet - Kahlil Gibran – The New Age movement and the Counter Culture starts here.

1924 – A Passage to India - E.M. Forster – This novel about the end of British rule in India still has a great deal to say about the rights and wrongs of occupation.

1925 – The Trial - Franz Kafka – This nightmare vision of modern life is even more relevant in today’s world

1926 – Winnie the Pooh - A.A. Milne – We love it as children, we understand it as adults

1927 – To the Lighthouse - Virginia Woolf – The English novel will never be the same again. This moving elegy to loss is the first great stream of consciousness work

1928 – Parade’s End - Ford Maddox Ford – One of the most remarkable books about the First World War ever written.

1929 – The Sound and the Fury - William Faulkner – This experimental work of art could be the greatest American novel of the 20th Century

1930 – The Maltese Falcon - Dashiell Hammett – Sam Spade is the model for all the maverick detectives that followed. Original and best.

1936 – Gone With the Wind - Margaret Mitchell – Cinema’s biggest movie began with a book. This book.

1937 – The Hobbit - J.R.R. Tolkien – All of modern fantasy comes from here. This is a major influence in creative writing.

1938 – Rebecca - Daphne Du Maurier – One of the most disturbing tales about the power the dead have over the living.

1939 – Goodbye to Berlin - Christopher Isherwood – The end of Weimar Germany and the beginning of history’s darkest hour is brilliantly captured here.

1941 – The Screwtape Letters - C.S. Lewis – A correspondence with the Devil – a theological argument which inspired Dawkins

1942 – Myth of Sisyphus - Albert Camus – This meditation on man’s futile search for meaning is one of the greatest philosophical works

1943 – The Little Prince - Antoine De Saint-Exupery – The most read, most translated French book and a profound study about human nature

1944 – Fictions - Jorge Luis Borges – These minimalist short stories have influenced countless writers. Unique and original.

1945 – Animal Farm - George Orwell – This satire of the Russian Revolution is the fable of our times and continues to inform on the true nature of power

1946 – Titus Groan - Mervyn Peake – Gothic and mad, this masterpiece of fantastic writing was born out of the horrors of the Second World War

1947 – Under the Volcano - Malcolm Lowry – A masterpiece which tells an autobiographical story in a series of original ways. Very influential.

1948 – The Heart of the Matter - Graham Greene – A story which explores the place of faith in a secular world. Greene’s most thought-provoking work.

1949 – Death of a Salesman - Arthur Miller – A landmark in dramatic presentation-technically complicated this play speaks of post-war disillusion.

1950 – The Grass is Singing - Doris Lessing – A novel which deals with life in South Africa under Apartheid. Topical then, still relevant today.

The Girl with 7 Horses

Yesterday I got this sent from a person who knows really good for what I

love & have passion for.

Thank you!! It made my day my night and I knew I'm not alone, not the only person who has invisible friends!!!

Once upon a time there was a girl who had 7 invisible horses. People thought she was crazy and that she in fact had 7 imaginative horses, but this was not the case. When autumn came the girl spent a whole day washing all her clothes. She hung them on a string in her garden to let the gentle autumn sun dry them. Out of nowhere, a terrible storm came and its fiercefull winds grabbed a hold of all her clothes and all seven horses (authors note: since they are invisible they obviously didn't weigh much). The girl was devestated and spent all autumn looking for each horse spread around the country, wrapped in her clothes.
