overyourhead - some irreverent musings by a gay London guy - crawling though technology, love and life... so you don't have to.
A trip to Naples; lots of pizza, beach, dodgy walks home, Champions Club, a late goal, and three points. Nice.
On the pitch Ødegaard unlocked Napoli’s defensive bunker with a superb 75th minute strike. Calm, patient and very grown up.
Onwards and upwards, my friends.

It might still be early doors, but that felt like a very important win. Chelsea scored early, but the Gunners equalised, and our second goal was glorious.
Havertz and Odegaard were excellent, and Raya’s late save came with the sort of calm assurance that makes everyone breathe easy again.
Arsenal have always made grinding out one goal wins into an art form. Not pretty. Very effective.
Onwards and upwards, my friends.

Saturday night Stuart and I went to see manga and anime behemoth Death Note: The Musical at Barbican Theatre in London’s glitzy Barbican Centre. Pure chaotic Japanese magic where murder meets soaring vocals. The score is absurdly dramatic and the whole enterprise is gloriously unhinged. Such strong performances from @xander._ @colin_ryan and @tellyleung making death look like a fabulous career choice.

Yesterday afternoon, we went to see Arcadia at Duke of York’s Theatre in London’s glitzy West End. Stuart and I got our brains properly melted by this complex, time-jumping play. Carrie Cracknell directs a brilliant cast featuring @isishainsworth, @nikkiamukabird, and the hilarious @oliverchris. It is classic Stoppard, packed with his trademark wit and a rare ability to cleverly blend sex jokes with the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Determinism and fractals never felt so wildly fun. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Last night, Stuart and I went to see Grease: The Immersive Movie Musical at Evolution London in glitzy Battersea. Secret Cinema’s trademark attention to detail shines. Stephanie Costi, Lucy Penrose, Giórgios MichaelÃdes & Arcangelo Ciulla are fabulous. We sang, danced & laughed. Pure joy. Pure Grease.

Last night Stuart and I went to see Electra/Persona at the Lyttelton Theatre on London’s glitzy South Bank. A bare stage of wooden steps, heightened drama and enough anguish to power a small city. At times over-written and over-directed by Benedict Andrews, but Cate Blanchett and Nina Hoss are utterly fabulous.

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. But definitely don’t choose this.
This afternoon I went to see Trainspotting The Musical at @trh_london in London’s glitzy West End.
It’s a mess really. Despite the fun 1990s bangers.
Leads @andrewdyer__ and @laurensocha try super hard but country & western high kicks and heroin do not really mix well. Save your cash. Or get a freebie like many do if you’re at a loose end.

Last Thursday night went to see A Month in the Country at @donmarwarehouse in London’s glitzy West End with Stuart. Sophie Okonedo and Patrick Gibson try so hard to make existential Russian yearning sexy. Truth is it is just two hours of posh folk sitting around wishing they were anywhere else. I felt exact the same way.

Lovely to meet up with @gaygooners beforehand, then watch Arsenal do what champions do: win football matches without making life unnecessarily exciting. Saka tucked away Calafiori’s cutback, Villa hit the bar, VAR rescued itself from a penalty howler and Arsenal rather sensibly took all three points. Six points from two games.
Onwards and upwards, my friends.
