Play the Building
















Had one of those days off, combining art and exercise.
First thing, went to David Byrne's "play the building" installation at the Roundhouse.
Apart from the obnoxious, (although these days, seemingly mandatory) middle-class children who thought the whole thing was laid on for them, encouraged by their odd Hampstead-style Mother/Father, (it was difficult to know which, although I suspect the word "lesbian" may fit), I had a wonderful time at the keyboard.














I then walked home (five miles UPHILL!), via Muswell Hill where I popped in to see Inglourious Basterds. Usual QT affair, visually impressive, nice set-pieces, a couple of brilliant moments, but not as good as it should have been. And yes, Christoph Waltz is brilliant as the SS officer. Imagine Brian Ferry as a Nazi. C'est Chic!
