Gig at La Havana -done
Me and Marcus played at La Havana, it was great to see some local friends there,
and to be on stage again after far too many months off it.
Marcus said that maybe I should play on my own sometimes because he thinks
I am better that way. And also I am hard to follow on drums, because I like
improvising and making pauses in a live setting...!
I played Old man by Neil Young to start with, and there were some problems with
the cassette player that I used: even old technology makes life harder at times when
you don´t need it! I thought the song sounded catastrophically bad and the guitar
was seriously out of tune, but I got a compliment from an unknown audience member
so I might keep going with that one. I love Neil Young.
And I was never one for a polished sound anyway.
Now I am booking gigs for Paris and beyond!

Gallery Preparations
November the 12th saw me taking the train to Portsmouth, to volunteer at ASPEX, painting walls and preparing for their new exhibition: Emergency 4.
I met and talked to Dutch artist Femmy Otten, and we talked about Antichrist by Lars von Trier (a masterpiece in our opinion) and other things that concern us as young women...
Read more about Femmy and her art on her website:

and the very interesting Aspex Art gallery:

Watch this film!
One afternoon in new park cinema, me and my friend Anna watched:
CLASH By NIGHT by Fritz Lang:
An intense moral film noir from a great director with Marilyn Monroe in a supporting role, and main actress Barbara Stanwyck superbly portraying a woman filled with bitterness and passion.
