All the items I put up for auction a while back were sold. So here's another thing that needs a good home. It's my gorgeous black/grey Crumpler Stripper Ripper, a photo and laptop bag. It fits a 17" laptop, 1 camera body, up to 4 lenses, cables and accessories or your toiletries, magazines, and carry on clothing. It is so awesome I'd be married to it, if it weren't just a tad too big and too heavy for me when packed.
You'll find the auction on Marktplaats. I paid around 120 Euro for it and I used it only once. Bidding starts at 60 euro. Click through to see the inside.

Lovely little chinese restaurant in Amsterdam. They're open till late, 3am! Must remember that.
I'm sorry, but the first scene made me laugh so hard I couldn't take the rest of the story seriously at all. Because Barrowman running in and shout-acting 'Stop, nobody touches him until I get back, is that clear...'? That wasn't television. That wasn't a musical. That was the local elementary school's 6th form's first rehearsal of the drama teacher's play.
Verdict: Really, really bad Buffy, without the making sense.

Was I looking forward to a double bill of Torchwood last night? Hell, yeah! But when I switch on the computer my brain just goes *poof* and it was midnight before I looked up and realised I'd missed both episodes. Still, ve haf vays and means... it was 1am when S2e05 came in, and 1.45 am when 06 automagically arrived. So no live blogging this time, sorry folks, I'll try to do better next time.
Holy mackerel, 'Adam' was good. This was the first episode of Torchwood that I don't feel like bitching about. How can it possibly be written by the same person who wrote the previous dirge of an episode, ' Meat'?
Barrowman! Way to tone down the musical theatre vibe. Yeah, he was still over the top, but it fit right in with the madness of the episode. Great to get a bit of Jack back story. Ianto... he's still got an ugly cry on him, but when he channeled the psycho killer he was truly frightening.
I must be starting to care for this bunch of oddballs, because I felt genuinely creeped out by the fact that the alien had messed with their memories and screwed up their personalities and relationships. I wanted the old team back, stat! Poor Rhys, I felt so sorry for him. Toshiko and Owen's personality switch was comical more than anything else, though Naoko Mori showed her vamp is far more convincing than her geek.
The guy who played the monster of the week, living off of the memories of our heroes, did a great job, particularly in the final scenes with Jack. He had a real genuine old school tragic villain vibe about him, sort of a throwback to older episodes of Doctor Who or Blake's 7 that I enjoyed as a kid.
So... creepy, funny, poignant... a big fat A from me. Yeah, I really prefer this series when it's mostly about human behaviour and doesn't have to rely on cheap CGI.

"Movels is reading stories on your mobile phone. The Movels application makes it possible to read complete books on your mobile device on a very easy and convenient way."
Reading Matthew's 'premature evaluation' of R.E.M.'s upcoming album Accelerate, I realised I'd never posted my thoughts on the two shows I saw the band do in Dublin last summer. I did write about it on my Dutch music blog, but even fewer people probably read that than visit over here. So here's a quick translation.
'This is not a show,' says Mike Mills, addressing the crowd through a megaphone. It's not a gig, it's an 'exercise in terror and music', Stipe explains, 'We are R.E.M. and this is what we do when you're not looking.'
But this time we are looking. Stipe may not be wearing make up and he may be cheating with the lyrics, using printed sheets and a MacBook on an upturned flight case, it's still R.E.M. on stage: the three members of the band, guest guitarist Scott McCaughey and drummer Bill Rieflin.
We are in Dublin's beautiful Olympia Theatre, a small Victorian venue in the middle of the city. This is the location R.E.M. has picked for five nights, trying out the songs they are recording with producer Jacknife Lee in a studio in county West-Meath.
It's not the first time R.E.M. has picked an Irish studio to record in. 'Uncle' Stipe has godchildren in this country, he's part the U2 family in the broadest sense of the word. It's like the mafia, once you're in, you're in for life.
Bono and The Edge are present at the first two shows of the five night run. Stipe thanks them from the stage, for their support and 'for keeping me grounded'. The band's real relatives have flown in too. On the fourth night, Stipe is telling the audience a story and when he uses the word 'blowjob' he suddenly buries his bright red face in his hands. 'I forgot we've got family members in tonight, young ones too... well, if you didn't know that word before...'
He's very talkative in between the songs. They play eleven new tracks every night as well as various oldies from their first couple of albums. They fit in with the new songs the best. For the first time, Stipe explains his obscure lyrics, telling us what the stories are about and shedding light on the art of songwriting. On the third night the old songs are mostly off Fables of the Reconstruction, on the fourth it's even further back to Chronic Town, Murmur and Reckoning.
The tickets to these shows were exclusively sold via R.E.M.s mailing list, so the people in the audience are mostly big fans, hearts ready to burst. No hits. It's the dream of every super fan. 'I hadn't heard this song in 24 years until this afternoon,' Stipe says, holding the lyrics in his hands. We savour obscure tracks like West of the Fields, Wolves Lower, Carnival of Sorts, 1000000, Harborcoat, Second Guessing and These days.
The new songs work well in the live setting, sounding like vintage R.E.M. already, with added power courtesy of Bill Rieflin's power drumming. In 'Horse to water' you feel the fire of Gravity's Pull, and the ballad 'Until the Day is Done' is a gorgeous 'King of Birds'-type ballad. The band was hurt by the slating their last album Around the Sun got in the press and determined to strike back. The songs aren't finished yet, that much is obvious when Stipe changes lyrics on his MacBook in our presence, or when guitarist Peter Buck stops a song to explain the middle eight to bass player Mike Mills. But they're getting there.
The band sounds great, a full rich sound, crystal clear even on the upper balcony of the venue. U2's sound engineer of the last 30 years, Joe O'Herlihy, is manning the soundboard, doing a great job. Whether the band has managed to capture that sound on record, we'll find out in April.

Marc Almond's doing acoustic shows with Baby Dee and others at Wilton's Music Hall, London in April. Am very, very tempted. Venue looks amazing.
I've put some items up for sale on Marktplaats (a Dutch auction site).
An Olympus c5050-z. It's a lovely black 5.0 megapixel camera that I bought 2nd hand. Barely used by me or its previous owner. I don't have the box, but do have the manuals, software, cables and its remote control. This camera has a swivelly viewer, so it's good for stealth street photography. Works with Compact Flash and XD-cards. (Reserved)
A Fujifilm Finepix F30. Former camera of the year. It's a little gem, but I never took to it and have recently switched back to the Canon Ixus range. I've offered it to someone looking for one, so they've got dibs, but let me know if you'd like to be its new master.
A fantastic Manfrotto 055XDB + 804RC2, Tripod and 3-way head. Really, I love this thing, but it's too heavy to lug around and I've hardly used it for anything else but taking the odd self portrait. It needs a better home. (Sold.)
And if you are a collector and are looking for some compact 35mm rangefinders, I have a few items I'm thinking of parting with. I wish I had more time to go out and shoot with them, but I can hardly find a minute to use my modern cameras.
Also for sale: a movers' box full of English language literature. Make me a reasonable offer. ( = you can have it for next to nothing)

Listen to Sinead O'Connor & Republic of Loose's new collaboration 'We People Who Are Darker Than Blue'.
It's hard to believe, but My Bloody Valentine have reformed. The Irish godfathers of the shoe-gazing genre imploded after the success of their album Loveless (1992), spent a fortune on the follow up, but never finished it. They quietly disbanded, although frontman Kevin Shields insisted there would be a new MBV album 'eventually...'
For years things were very quiet around the members of the band. Rumour had it Shields was making a living as a taxi driver, but he was active musically and collaborated with bands like Curbe, Dinosaur Jr. He even went on tour with Primal Scream. A few years back Shields was back in the picture so to say, overseeing the recording of the soundtrack to Sofia Coppola's Lost in translation. Rumours of a band reunion surfaced quickly.
In November 2007, three British shows were announced which sold out quickly. And now we have a handful of dates for a European tour: Roskilde, Paris, Madrid and the Oya festival in Norway have been announced. Whether the band will play in the Netherlands, I don't know. I bought a ticket for the Paris show just in case.

"I think we're an unusual science-fiction franchise in taking a very big step back from fandom and having nothing to do with them. I'm sorry to say this, all the science fiction producers in America, they are way too engaged with their fandom."
Photographer Ken Rockwell has a section on his site ( Which I read for his excellent no nonsense photography reviews and articles.) called How to Afford Anything, answering the question how he is able to afford all his camera stuff.
He makes some good points. I don't agree with a lot of what he says. I think his 'don't eat out' and choosing off the dollar menu at fast food is infantile bordering on self-destructive. Good, healthy food is one of the great pleasures in life, to be enjoyed as often as possible.
Rockwell also states watching television makes you stupid and modern tv shows are all bad. I'm not going to go into that one, the same way I'm not going to touch his Mac-fetish. As for using coupons... the man says he's got Scottish roots, but by golly, he might as well be Dutch.
No, I think money shouldn't rot in the bank. It's got to roll. But I liked his section on home owning. Too be able to afford his camera addiction, Rockwell lived in a 'nasty' condo until he moved into his wife's house. He says 'Don't buy a big house'. Right on.
I get a lot of flak from members of my family who don't understand why I live where I live, why I don't spend money on improving my house, why I don't move, why in nine years of owning the place I've only invested 3500 euro in renovating the balcony, have never done any paint jobs on it and haven't spent a dime on furniture..
Instead, I spend everything I earn on computing, photography, travel, music, eating out and meeting friends. Things that make me happy. Me being the operative word. While my relatives for the last thirty years have put all their money in their house and garden, painting and re-painting, tiling, re-tiling, buying new chairs to fit with the new kitchen to fit with the new front room to fit with the new dining table and whatever the hell else they keep changing... I've gone and had and will continue to have a good time indulging my obsessions. So. fucking. there.
Thank god I'm not tight like Rockwell, though.
And damn him for bigging up the Nikon D40 so much now I, a Canonite, actually want to buy one.

Aw Rhys. I like Rhys. He's driving a car and gets a call from his secretary saying there's an accident involving someone he knows and... meat. Rhys drives up to the accident spot.
'Dense flesh,' says Jack. Huh?
Torchwood have arrived on the scene of the accident and Rhys looks on unbelievingly as his odd-looking girlfriend Gwen strides in in sexaaay slomo.
I didn't know Rhys was in the meat business. Mmm, meat. Although that alien slab doesn't look too fit. Well, at least it's not peepul...
Sorry. Gwen's sporting a Nokia N95. Good girl.
The Welsh accent gives me problems sometimes. Can't follow the bit between Rhys and his secretary. Can you imagine if Barrowman were using his Scottish accent? They'd never be able to sell the show on BBC America!
Awkward meeting between Gwen and Rhys, Gwen so obviously lying. This scene is dragging on a bit. He's going to follow her, good man Rhys. It's about time he knew what Gwen's involved in. Oh no... he catches her just when Jack's being flirty (when is he not?) with Gwen.
'You have to do as I say.' Oh yes, Captain Jack. Gwen's a silly cow. Is this scene meant to be sexy, or not. Is he really pushing her up against the wall for that long or is that just awkward editing?
Why is the meat making whale sounds?
Ah, the big fight. Are you fucking him? No, but she did Owen, the little skank. Aliens? In Cardiff? Well, where else would they be?
This is all very Pobol y Cwm, isn't it. They did say it was SciFi with soapy elements. You know, this argument is pretty realistic, full of stupid things people say when they're angry.
And so she takes him down the invisible lift. Hello, Myfanwy!
ROTFLMAO. 'We could feed the world.' 'We could release a single!' Take that, Sir Bob.
Aha, now Rhys becomes part of the team. This is really well written. And funny! And so badly acted. There, I've unearthed the problem with this show. They managed to find a group of actors who have problems finding the chemistry four shows into the second series.
Poor Tosh. I hope they don't go on and on and on with this stupid crush thing. It makes her look pathetic.
Owen thinks the blog is crying? This is the guy who didn't think twice about drugging two human beings to have his way with them, but now winces at offing a smelly alien?
Talking about pathetic... Jack's flirting with the secretary never feels natural.
'Imprisoned, chained and drugged, welcome to Planet Earth,' says Jack. And who was keeping a Weevil in a cell again? Hypocrite.
This episode feels very Star Trekky with that big blob of smelly, sentient meat making whale sounds. Captain Jack's the 21st century's omnisexual James Tiberius Kirk.
Can't they keep their characters straight for one second? In the one episode Jack's totally anti alien and wants to kill them now all, now he's all boo hoo hoo the poor sad thing, what have they done to you?
The grand finale, a shoot out in a warehouse. The sound in this episode's all over the place, between the music and the alien and the dialogue, it's not good. I wish they'd spend more on production.
'It came through a rift in time and space...' Good title for a movie. OMG they shot Rhys. Noooo.
Owen's making a cocktail for his pet.
Ianto! In his lovely dress coat. Wow, that was... Bond-worthy, the way he took down the evil brothers. Yes, definitely need more Ianto.
Lovely piece of Barrowman overacting. The big blob opens its eye one more time and dies. Jack... waves at it?
And the meat monster dies by Owen's hand and suddenly he's all emo, wtf?
Finally some peace and quiet. Gwen and Rhys are eating an ice cream while she ponders whether or not to remove his memories with the handy little pill we know from the very first episode of season one. Looks like the end of this epi... but, no....
Here comes Gwen running into Torchwood and she's shouting again, for no reason at all and would somebody please explain why Jack is close to crying? His pining over Gwen makes no sense at all when he's doing the office boy all the while. Here check it out:
What are we supposed to think is going on between them?
Oh, in case you missed it:
"Have you eaten Alien meat"
"Yes"
"How was it?"
"He seemed to enjoy it."
