It’s open for you all to see! Enjoy browsing around and make sure to keep checking back because we have so much more to add still (such as that Conan interview hehe)

P.S. I’m off for my (short) holiday now. Expect me back somewhere around July 28.

Emily Alert

I know clips of actor’s talk show appearances appear on YouTube and certain forums. However, that’s not always the case. I would really like to have a good quality clip of Emily’s appearance tonight for my website Admiring Emily Mortimer. So if anyone can help it’d be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Same goes for magazines. They are usually appearing on Ebay but with high shipping costs and in most cases also for a higher price than the magazines would cost in stores. There is currently an absolutely breathtaking photo shoot in the Boston Common Magazine with Emily. Is anyone able to get a hold of it & send me just the Emily related pages? I’ll pay the actual cost of the magazine + economy shipping.

Madness

On Sunday was the finale of the Euro Cup. So far, I’ve never posted anything about it and all I can say I’m glad it’s over - although some things that came with the Euro weren’t that bad. The ‘Oranjes’ for example. But I have always had a dislike for things that are being turned into something major, into something all-consuming, something that I’m getting told I must like. And for the past 2 months or so I’ve not been able to go anywhere, read anything or listen to the radio without encountering ‘Euro Cup Propaganda’ for the masses. I’m joking of course - but still there’s some truth to it. Anyway, the organizers can be proud of themselves: Switzerland - and I guess Austria too - knew only one topic during the past 3 weeks.

What about the Swiss team? They had such high hopes and instilled the belief in (some) people that they had a real chance. I’ve seen cars with banners saying ‘Vienna - we’re coming!’ What a humiliation when it was the first team to be out - only 109 hours after kick-off. But I sure you’ve guessed it already - I wasn’t in the least bit surprised .

Back to the ‘Oranjes’. Their team mostly played in Bern and their HUGE fanbase invaded our city. Everyone kept saying how nice, cheerful and friendly they were - and I guess for soccer fans they really were. I suppose even I got infected with the soccer fever for a short while when they were here. Although I never went to the Public Viewings or to the inner city during the ‘play days’. At one evening there were reportedly 150,000 (!) people in the inner city, thereof 60,000 Oranjes. And this in a city that only has roughly 130,000 inhabitants.
