About Me


Sometimes passionate, curious, idealist(?), Art & Books & Rock Music & Victorian Age fanatic, english language lover,collectionist (Dracula editions ), adventurer(?)... To be short, it really depends on my mood!

If you want to know more about my damnation :
Oh my! Books!

My Interests

Arts, Litterature, New Technologies, Books, Books, Books and BOOKS... (I might open a bookshop at some point ! hum retirement maybe !!)<>

I'd like to meet:


Authors probably as I do organize conventions and conferences. Anyone who wants to talk about stuff we have in common! (or not)

Music:

A bit of metal :
(Machine Head, System Of A Down, Metallica...),

A large part of de SoftCore :
(millencolin, Motion City Soundtrack, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes...),

a taste of Street Punk :
(The Distillers, Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Mollies...)

but mostly Rock :
(The Beatsteacks, The (International) Noise Conspiracy, The Presidents of the USA, The Rakes, Brian Setzer...),

and if you like it you can add a pinch of soundtracks
(Danny Elfman, Howard Shore, Hans Zimmer...) or gregorian chants.

Well, that's the recipe of a good Mistermorg!!!

Movies:

L'inventaire Fantome :
Jasper Morello (please help me find a dvd !):

Television:

Very little,
a couple of HBO's (Rome, Carnivàle, Deadwood...),
South Park,
one or two english shows (Blackbooks...)
et une ou deux émissions françaises (Des racines et des ailes par exemple).
Not much of a TV addict !!!

Books:

Bram Stoker (Dracula), Perez-Reverte (Club Dumas), Palahniuk (Survivor, Choke), The french wave of Fantasy (Gaborit, Calvo, Colin...),
Steampunk,
Fantasy,
SF (just a bit)
and Crime novels.

Here is a short list i can add to that :
Belgium style graphic novels (BD) : I love real graphics, Bilal, Seiter, Schuiten, Loisel, Guarnido, and all the Steampunk inspired comics (Le Réseau Bombyce, Le régulateur,...)
and comics : Alan MOORE (The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, From Hell, V Is For Vendetta...),

Umberto RAMOS (Crimson, Out There, Revelations, K...)
Chris BACHALO (Steampunk,...)

Heroes:

Me, Myself and I (parceque je le vaux bien !) And also Bernard ! (see below)

My Blog

May the Farm be with you !

I was looking for organic stuff, being little by little aware of nature issues, and I found this ! I lied, one of my colleague forwarded this to me (but still I am sorting out my garbage)...
