Amazing Art

2007-12-13T21:37:03Z

Entries for an art contest at the Hirshorn Modern Art Gallery in DC
- the rule was that the artist could use only one sheet of paper.

Special thanks to Karin from Switzerland for pointing it out to me.

Sorry

2007-12-07T21:25:11Z

I truly am deeply sorry to bother you with a second AR related entry this evening, but have we ever seen this

before???

WTF??

2007-12-07T20:40:14Z

Make an important decision today - Get yourself a pair of Elevator shoes! Wouldn't it be wonderful to get the answer for
Alan Rickman height?

Hey, don´t ask me. I´m as puzzled as you are.

a Christmas Card for Mr. Rickman

2007-12-02T20:24:29Z

By cleaning my desk, I noticed this Christmas Card I bought many years ago. I never have had the courage to send it to anyone. And NO, I won´t send it to Mr. Rickman either (though I think it would put a grin on his face).
But it also made me wonder, if you had the change (and the courage of course) to send Him a Christmas Card, what it would look like. So I thought it would be a great idea to make a contest out of it while we´re waiting for the Sweeney Todd Madness to arrive.
Contest
Would you be so kind as to share with us:
your most creative/wonderful/naughty/thrilling/astonishing/endearing/extraordinary AR Christmas Card.
Your contribution will be rewarded with points for: participation, originality and creativity.
The winner waits a REAL High Res picture of AR...
This contest will end Sunday evening December 9th at 11.59 pm (GMT).

Go!

Oh, needless to say I won´t send your contribution to AR...

Who wants a cARd??

2007-12-02T19:09:26Z

It´s that time of year again! If you want ARelated Christmas cARd from Holland, send me your name and address.

Horked from almost everyone on my f-list.

Lets101 - Free Online Dating

Nope, I will not reply to the stars. Not a single word will come from my mouth. I will not tell you that I disagree with all things the stars are telling me. I won´t, I won´t, I won´t.
I´m a lover not a fighter you see. *cough*

And to make this entry some eeny weeny tiny bit Alan related, this is what the stars say about Alan:

Lets101 - Free Online Dating

I ask you, do you see something from Alan back in these couple of words? To be honest, I do. I like to find out if that kissing thingy is correct though. *cough* Let me know what you think about it.

Rada lunch

2007-11-10T10:49:48Z

Apparently Alan joined a lunch on behalf of Rada in the Dorchester Hotel, October 25th of this year.

Pictures are available over here, starting with page 6.

Huge thanks to hikity_2001 for pointing us in this direction and to "ME" from the AR Downloadhaven for finding the gorgeous pictures.

Just an ~~obsessive~~ sidenote: notice Alan drinks white wine and then switches over to red during lunch. *snort*

Patrick Doyle Concert (Part: sorry lost counting)

2007-11-01T20:33:47Z

These are going to be the last video´s I´m about to post. Really with all the uploading, downloading, naming, renaming and YouTubing I´m lost in a forest of chaos. I hope you all enjoyed the tapes as much as I did. As I said before, there is no such fun as shared fun and how I wished you could all have joined this memorable evening. We could have squeeed and drooled together. For now I hope I succeeded in giving you an impression of the evening. I still intend to write a report though, so stay tuned.

Once again a HUGE thank you to catsplay for the personalizing and screencapping things. *hugs*

Celebrities come on stage to bow in front of the audience. Did HE or did HE not peek into my camera?

Patrick Doyle Concert part II

2007-10-30T21:29:01Z

I know you all went crazy with anticipation, so I´ll save my ramblings to one of the next parts of my posts (probably tomorrow), although grigorisgirl did an outstanding job already. And please take a look at hikity_2001 (that´s if you´re friends with her) for some nice pictures.

For now, enjoy Alan´s introduction for My Father´s Favourite from Sense & Sensibility as I know you all have been waiting for that.

Thanks a bunch to catsplay for helping me out working on the Goodies! I love you! Screencaps are available (within reasonable time) at her LJ.

Patrick Doyle Concert part I

2007-10-29T11:01:27Z

Hi All,

Just a quick post from the hotel to share that we attended the Concert last evening. It was such an amazing experience. Actors who performed or introduced something were: Alan Rickman, Robbie Coltrane, Sr. Derek Jacobi, Emma Thompson, Greg Wise, Kenneth Branagh, Dame Judi Dench, Imelda Staunton, Patrick Doyle and his daughters and some others.

I will make time to have a full report when I'm home. I have some lovely vids which I will share with you but you have to be patient (sorry about that).

I met a bunch of Alan fans yesterday and we've had a drink with a couple of them afterwards. Thanks to all for a memorable evening. It was worth every penny.

Hugs Peek

MUM - JOB DESCRIPTION

This is hysterical. If it had been presented this way, no one would have done it!!!!

POSITION:
Mother, Mum, Mama, Mummy, Ma.

JOB DESCRIPTION:
Long term, team players needed, for challenging permanent work in an, often chaotic environment. Candidates must possess excellent communication and organizational skills and be willing to work variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour shifts on call. Some overnight travel required, including trips to primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities. Travel expenses not reimbursed. Extensive courier duties also required.

RESPONSIBILITIES:
The rest of your life. Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily, until someone needs £5.Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly. Also, must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf. Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers. Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and co-ordinate production of multiple homework projects. Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks. Must be willing to be indispensable one minute, an embarrassment the next. Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated devices.. Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. Must assume final, complete accountability for the quality of the end product. Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial work throughout the facility.

POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION:
Virtually none. Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills, so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you.

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE:
None required unfortunately. On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis.

WAGES AND COMPENSATION:
Get this! You pay them! Offering frequent raises and bonuses. A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that college will help them become financially independent. When you die, you give them whatever is left. The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.

BENEFITS:
While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock options are offered; this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth and free hugs for life.

Forward this on to all the Mums you know, in appreciation for everything they do on a daily basis, and let them know they are.

this guy is amazing

2007-10-15T14:30:09Z

Since a couple of months I am looking at the works of the amazing artist Julian Beever. Not only does he make astonishing pavement drawings but also oil paintings and wall murals.

Look what he has done in Edinbourgh for Live8 (Make Poverty History).

Of course he´s on You Tube as well;

And check out his website

more speeches

2007-10-14T11:09:21Z

Sheena from NY posted this link over at ARDLHGB. It´s the speech by the Head Boy and Head Girl on September 27th. I´m impressed by their way with words and their wit.

Sheena also posted this picture:

And I can´t recall having seen this tie before! I also find it refreshing to see his shirt tucked into his pants and his jacket open! Is he really 61???

Errrrrmmmmm

mixed feelings

2007-10-01T14:47:39Z

When I saw this for the very first time I had to laugh... immediately followed by saying "how sad." I couldn´t help laughing though I felt guilty doing that. Anyone else who feels the same?

Mens rules

2007-09-13T16:47:02Z

My dearest husband sent me this

These are our rules:
Please note... these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!

1.Breasts are for looking at and that is why we do it. Don't try to change that
We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side.

1.Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1.Saturday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be

1.Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1.Crying is blackmail.

1.Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
JUST SAY IT!

1.‘Yes’ and ‘No’ are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question

1.Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for

1.A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor

1.Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days

1.If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us

1.If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one

1.You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done
Not both
If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself

1.Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials

1.Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we

1.ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit.
We have no idea what mauve is.

1.If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1.If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle

1.If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear

1.When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine, Really

1.Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as:
Sex,
Sports, or
Cars

1.You have enough clothes

1.You have too many shoes

1.I am in shape. Round is a shape.

1.Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know men really don't mind that, it's like camping.
he is soooo sleeping on the couch tonight!

I´m So Uber Cool

2007-09-10T14:20:33Z

Snatched this from most of my friends, as usual I´m a bit lazy...

These are very mean questions! What did you answer to this question?

If you could only pick ONE of the following items in the next six groups, which would it be? (i.e. by picking the ONE, you can no longer have/possess the others, EVER)

Group 3...
Internet
Sex

These are the first necessities of life and they let you choose. *duh*
On the other hand, questions like these;

Do you have any books by Carl Sagan in your bookshelf?
Bookshelf!? Bahahaa, you make me laugh!
I have one.
I have many.
I have, and have read, them all!
Who's that?

You know he smoked pot, right?
Er, huh?
Whatever, man.
Like no other!

Do you care that your socks have holes in them?
Let me check...
Yes, it is really annoying to have holey socks!
Like I have time to care!
No

made me ROFL.

WTF???

Snatched this shamelessly from me_pirateship

Which of the illustrious Alan Rickman's characters are you?

You are P.L. O'Hara from the movie 'An Awfully Big Adventure'. You're a wistful, jaded, talented stage actor/artist, who is forced to confront his painful past. You enjoy painting, you do a funny dance, you play a great Captain Hook, and you accidentally slept with the 16-year-old ~~daughter~~ son you didn't know you had. And then you killed yourself. On the plus side, you're one of the sexiest characters Alan Rickman ever played. Baby, you shake that incestuous ass! you're on FIRE!
Take this quiz!
