Gone Fishing…In New York City
March 27, 2013
Actually no fishing will be involved. Just a lot of eating, sleeping & walking. To mark my trip to the Big Apple (by the time this post is published I will likely be asleep on the plane, head dangling in the aisle, tongue forming a runway for a line of drool whilst I receive nasty […]
Trippy Triptych: Sufjan Stevens, Band of Horses + Iron & Wine
March 11, 2013
Having spent the past weekend at a yoga seminar wherein hours were spent posing, back-bending, and otherwise stretching (and laughing a lot; our yoga teacher was a believer in the delivery of yoga in joke format), Monday morning came with a renewed craving for Sufjan Stevens. This seemed somewhat counterintuitive since I assumed the yoga (and […]
Merry Christmas, African Style!
December 23, 2012
This time last year CLC was enjoying a very American Christmas (African Style), replete with overeating (Christmas + America = McGriddles & Steak, Egg & Cheese Bagels from McDonalds, along with the usual Nigerian fixin’s), traveling to multiple cities spanning the space/temperature continuum, a house rental that looked like something out of 90s rap video, […]

Buenos Aires + Shanghai – Happy Sunday
June 3, 2012
I’ve been terribly unproductive today, finding every possible way to avoid doing work that needs to be done. At one point, I started digging through my old travel photos, longing for a holiday (that frankly, I don’t think I deserve given all my time wasting!). I found two photos I took way back when with […]
Animation + Toy Story 2
June 2, 2012
I saw this animation about a month ago and found it so hilarious that I (1) burst out laughing (in public…) and (2) immediately emailed myself the link (which I was glad I did, because googling the thing later on proved an effort in futility). I later found out the clip is part of a […]
Happy Friday + Queen of California
May 25, 2012
Johnny, We Hardly Knew Ye For a period of time, during the halcyon days of my youth (about 3/4 years ago), I was commuting back and forth between London and Paris often catching the 5am train to Paris Saturday mornings. On one such morning, tired after a long week and aching for a few extra […]
Happy Sunday + You Instead
May 20, 2012
I Don’t Want That, I Want You Instead This song is one of the best things about the movie You Instead (2011; released in the US in as Tonight You’re Mine), starring Luke Treadaway (Adam) and Natalia Tena (Morello), and directed by David Mackenzie. Very meta, this thing with having actors perform and write music […]
Dancing on My Own
May 2, 2012
I was watching the new HBO show Girls (written and directed by Lena Dunham of Tiny Furniture and Delusional Downtown Divas), and Dancing on My Own by Swedish popstress Robyn played out in the last scene of one of the episodes. Swedish pop pretty much does it for me on all levels and since then this […]
