About Me



..[if !IE]

My Interests

More 'habits' than 'interests' I'd say. Habits say more about a person - I'm interested in mental truckloads of stuff but in the end, what would a list of that tell you?

Looking through Flickr to find macro images to use as headers for my blog.
Creating, sniffing, consuming coffee. Cafes, machines that produce coffee, paper cups, sugar syrup, hazelnut and toffee flavours, foam.
Blogging.
Drinking. Dancing at clubs, with a drink and smoke easily at an easy access point.
Making lists of things, particularly things I need to do.
Loofing about at bookstores and/or supermarkets, sucking up an incredible amount of time scrutinizing packaging and blurbs.
Playing the same 30 or so songs over and over, they rotate only eventually.
Sleeping in.
Drinking diet coke and consequently feeling ill but continue to drink it anyway.
Going to the movies/shopping alone.
Opening all my feeds in tabs for hours of browsing heaven.

I'd like to meet:

Movies:

I'm going through a non-screen stage. Don't have any favourites, apart from maybe 'The Italian Job' and 'Lord of War'.

After buying what must have been thousands of 5 kuai DVD movies over years in China movies have a whole lot less appeal. It was a good way to go - I sped up the motion picture process and realize at an early age how time-wasting and stupid most of them are. Like romantic-comedies.
Still really like to go to the movies though, love that old-school cineplex feeling ;)

Television:

The Office, Lost, Nip/Tuck, Prison Break, The L Word, Queer As Folk, South Park. Foxcrime, Discovery Channel, E...

Books:

Wired magazine.

Heroes:

"Those that live from their imagination, not their history".
