The apartment was on the fourth floor of a walk-up in the residential 15eme district in Paris. An aged wood staircase creaked a melancholic off-tune melody conducted by my footsteps. Catching my breath at the arrival, I was faced with a narrow and dim passage leading to a worn down once white door.

I entered my friend’s place with anticipation. It was the first time I would visit him there. It was a charming one-bedroom, reeking of typical Parisian charm. What I directly felt was a sense of history, experience and style. He had a blend of rustic matured furniture that was left by the senior landlord mixed with typical amenities of our century: a flat screen TV, laptop, surround system, and an Ipod deck. On the walls were vintage rock and at posters from the 60s. The whole feel of the place was exactly as I would imagine a cozy apartment in Paris to be. Except, that it wasn’t quite so.

Great copywriters if any agencies are looking! Creativity is not defined to the insides of ad agencies and artistic endevours, it is all over the streets…

Check out these great homeless street signs.

Sometimes we all need a break from our routine and what better way to do that than through music, The Sound of Music. This is a fun, light video performance at Central Station Antwerp in Belgium. Watch it and sing along: Do a deer, a female deer…

SOUND OF MUSIC ANTWERP

I saw this ad on TV and well it’s true: Disney are now selling eggs!!! I have no idea what to say here, this just seems too ridiculous. I mean what will be next - tampons or pears?? What the hell, give me a scrambled Goofy and Pluto with cheese.

Disney Farm Fresh Eggs

This week’s most viewed clip on YouTube is a fun, entertaining and well-crafted show with… sheep! I guess even Welsh farmers can be creative or just have a lot of time on their hands. Watch it below:

I am currently sick in bed with a severe case of the flu. New posts to follow once I feel a bit better. Thanks for your patience

Even the queen needs to get a second job with this huge recession and pay cut going on!! Thanks Mo.

I admit I am totally addicted to my 3G iPhone, not in love but really addicted! Just thought I would like to share this piece of information as I am currently facing withdrawal symptoms. I can only use it as an iTouch iPod here in London and I am finding it very hard… I felt this the strongest when I was forced to consult paper maps  and figure out trajectories manually. I NEED MY GPS SYSTEM ON GOOGLE MAPS. There, I had to let that out! Plus NYC has spoiled me, with the simple grid system and blocks that make it uncomplicated to get around. My sense of direction was never intrinsic, and now even more so that I am out of practice. I have to admit I really quite like this pampering, though, maybe even too a bit too much! It has certainly facilitated my life enormously.

I have to admit I hate going to a restaurant alone let alone a bar! Many of my friends actually enjoy this activity, or at the least don’t mind it from time to time. Not me. Again, I try to avoid it whenever I can. But here I am in the wine bar of JFK Terminal 8, alone on a table sipping a glass of white wine. But I am actually cheating here, as I hide behind my laptop and pay the overpriced $4.95 for 1 hour of internet. This makes the whole situation very different; I am busy and connected to the world and can lose myself in virtual communication.
