Walking in the rain, watching sunrise then going back to bed, collecting tea, dancing on the tube, dusting off my books, exploring without maps, practising my foreign language skills, having a dance off with strangers, old lady beads and knitwear from charity shops and people with black hair. This list is by no means exhaustive.

I'll admit that on occasion I have a hankering for The Strokes, The Vines, The White Stripes (first three albums) and other bands beginning with 'The'
Iranian cinema throws uranium over every other film industry going. I hope Hollywood explodes in a chemical disaster caused by bad acting, cheap women and collagen. Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, Paradise Now, Requiem for a Dream, Everything is Illuminated, Hard Candy was terrible but Enduring Love was pretty good for an adaptation. I like sinister foreign films.
I like Nick Cave in Johnny Suede
Desmond's, Dark Place, Jam, Brass Eye, Channel 4 News, Friday Night Armistice, The Day Today, The Sopranos, Kath & Kim, More 4's True Stories etc... If Will Self is in it, I'll watch it. Ulysses was great
Written of my previous workplace:/p?
"This channel is a sitcom waiting to happen. Set bought off eBay, mass walkouts, make-up girls writing the news, chavs nicking news stories out of The Citizen... this is an utterly brilliant tale of disaster! "
Science was my vocation until one night in 2005, I was encountered by the ghost of Thomas Hardy who told me henceforth, to follow a path in literature. I threw down my stethoscope, shed a single tear and ran to the nearest library I could find. I really miss science.
Medea, Amnesty International and Jem the original riot grrrrl.
