It was my birthday yesterday. Having a birthday three days out from Christmas, it’s easy to get lost in the noise of the festive season, so in the past I’d launched a full-on PR offensive to get people to remember my birthday. But this year I couldn’t be bothered doing all that, and as an experiment, I decided to tone things down even further. The before I removed my date of...

Marmont, Vegemont
I saw Sophia Copolla’s new film “Somewhere”, about a slightly-past-his-peak film star who slowly reconnects with his 11-year-old daughter. (It’s pretty good - you should see it.) Anyway, I saw it at the Penthouse in Brooklyn, with a wrinkly daytime audience. A couple of ladies in the audience seemed a bit bored by it and spent a lot of the time whispering to each other...

Slow comfortable screw
There are plenty of cocktails and mixed drinks with sexual comedy names, but the grandpappy of them all is the Slow Comfortable Screw - as instructive as it is sexual or comedic.

Grated ginger root
Donna swallowed hard, her mouthful of Special K and milk catching in her throat. Her eyes flicked back to the newspaper. Had she read that correctly? Had he really said…? “Between 1985-1987, I would sleep with about three women a day, every day. I never said no.” Donna remembered back to what had, only a few minutes earlier, been a fond memory. It was 1986 and the band was in...

How I Bleach My Hair →
