just nice
She's back! After a while, little time really.. but you guys know:
I am a romantic bastard, can't stay far from my gal for too long.
Anyhow, that was not the only good piece of news.
We have been selected!
I have to say: my friend West is always speaking about his film
and all the festivals he has been invited to. But this is my very
first time, therefore I am allowed to boast it too. Yep, me and her,
we have been selected at the Imaginaria Film Festival for the little
short we did almost as a joke. It is basically a music video we
produced ourself for a band from a record company of some friends.
And guess what? That was selected by the festival. This is great!
The first time in public! I mean, I hope we are going to have enough
time to go there this summer.. I am not sure about that but, hey, we
have to try. This is great. When I received the mail I was very
touched.. also because this was something really personal and special
that we did for ourself rather than for the public.. and it worked much
better than other things.
Yep, this is very nice. I am happy.
The only prob today is my back really.. I should say as usual.
But things are cool and I have a very good feeling.
All the bestest everyone.
PB
PS - Questo qui, questo qui brutto con gli occhiali si, sono io.
Questa foto a lei piace tanto.. mi ha chiesto lei di metterla sul blog.
E' una di quelle fatte con il Sagem, tutte trippanti.

O pellegrino per le strade di Penge...
..gioie e speranze porti con te...
I versi sopra sono un omaggio al vecchio Westerby con cui condivido un passato di colore scuro. Chiss� se il vecchio West si ricorda? Ma si che si ricorda. Troppi anni passati tra i lunghi camici neri.
Ebbene si, Penge Blogger is back again, half Italian, half English. There is always a choice to be made.. either one or the other, either you exclude or you include, other you stay or you go, should I stay or should I go?
I stay here. Hic manebimus optime! Londinium occupatam est. Penge est castrum nostrum.
Ma si.. even latin now, let's show off a little bit of culture.. to all those wonnabies around.. he he..
Today I had some very good news, and I was happy for this. I see people change and they become better. Sometimes you need to leave them alone for a while.. so when it is the case, they do realise the mistake. I did the same my self some time ago and I should always keep my self humble and be able to be able to do this. At the time I said that clearly, even if it was hard. It was very hard. But I did it.
We must forget hypocrisy. It is always good to make "public ammenda" when it's needed, when it's obvious. It's good for yourself and it's good for the others around you. It is definitely never too late. Pride is good for your ar$e.

like the markets?
Do you like "mercatini"? Pardon me.. do you like markets? Sunday markets..
Penge Market is open the whole week but not on friday. But on saturday you get the best. Almost every saturday morning (almost) I wake up early and go there to buy the best paccottiglia (ahem) bargains ever. No, really, you can buy great stuff there for one pound and my friend Gka is the master for this kind of things, he and his gf are masters. They would be able to find gold in there if there was any and sometimes there is. Never mind Spitafield and Portobello. Come to Penge Market instead.

Picture Quality
This is one of the best tripping pixes I took with my Myx-6. As usual that was on my way back from Trafalgar Square to Penge. There is a little trick with that mobile-camera. I have used this trick to produce this tripping pix. You have to take a picture, delete it and take another one again, all in one sec and a half, and this is the result. Basically the tone of the light become quite darker and deep. If you take the pix quickly enough and the lense is moving enough, then it looks like a deforming light moving in the open space. Check it out.
Another good thing about this mobile handset is its sturdyness.. I did everything to it, kicked it, bounched it, strangled it.. it is still alive and taking pitctures.

Pieno di Peli (quite hairy..)
Well.. some people adopt a cat, a pet, a squirrel or something. Here is the other way round. We have been adopted by a cat. Yes, she (the cat) decided, no way to escape.
She comes in, she goes out, she doesn care! God knows what's so funky in this house.
The very very funniest thing is that we are both allergic to cats and this one doesn't seam to be much dangerous at all. It must be another God's gift.
Incredible, I am starting liking cats. Well, ok, only this cat. I like the way she moves... it's like she doesn't care.. like a funny human being.. we would say, like a bronze face (faccia di bronzo). She is a cat with irony and sense of humor, self esteem but also self irony, and quite a lot of it. The funny ladycat is mimicking the birds and the squirrels, she follows them on the trees and then looks at me like "hey.. pretend you didn't see anything ok? I am a cat... I am supposed to be cool.. ya know...".

One Palace, One Movie, One cool place to live close by.
Someone who wanted to be funny with me recently sent me a letter. In the address, instead of London, there was "Kent". Now, I know people are proud of their ego.
Instead I am proud of where I live, which is probably the best area in London for quality of life, air to breath, green, parks, pubs, cinemas.. etc.
Yes, the magic triangle is now a Quadrilateral. In alphabetical order: Anerley, Crystal Palace, Penge, Sydenham. Those are basically the 4 areas that surround the Crystal Palace park. And this, excuse me, (like some Radio show says), "Ladies and gentlemen, this is London". This is South East London. Clash's Michael Geoffrey Jones was born not to far from here. Remember? "London is drowning and I live by the river." I live south of the river. As Roger the cook use to tell me at 4 'o clock at night, when we were playing crazy tunes, in the South East.
What a plasure. What a satisfaction.
And now let's speak about the Steamboy.
Check out the "locandina". Pardon, the poster featured in this post. Clear on the right hand side you will find the pride of London in the 1850, the Crystal Palace in its own original splendour for you to be enjoyed. I am just looking forward to see this movie and go back to kiddness. Mind you: this has been shot by some japanese director, the same guy of Akira, who was attracted by the Victorian age and by the beauty of its architecture.
Gool. Very gool.
