Hôtel Costes CDs

The Hôtel Costes compilations, put together by Stéphane Pompougnac, are some of my favourite CDs. Possibly still my favourite is the second (of nine), La suite:

You have to listen to them if you’re unfamiliar with them.

Etiquette at a music concert

This post is just a personal observation about etiquette at music concerts. Last night, Mr T and I went to the Kylie concert at the Sydney Entertainment centre and I really enjoyed it - I enjoyed the energy, lights and dance routines and sang along to a few songs.

The devil wears prada

The weekend before last Mr T and I saw “The Devil Wears Prada” and enjoyed it, but I would have liked it to be a more adult film - it was too cutesey; perhaps it had been targeted towards young movie goers. Anne Hathaway’s Andrea was ok, but not completely believable. There was little understanding from Andrea’s friends of her wanting to experience new ways of living and working and the ending was not extraordinary: the moral tale of Andrea’s turn back to her original life was completely unsubtle. Real life is far less black and white.

Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly was fantastic, and quite believable even if some of her behaviour was more exaggerated than reality would give.
