Erik

I can handle the despair, it's the hope that kills me.

About Me

How does he hope to defeat me? Allied as I am with the imbecile, the contemptable, and the promiscous f*#&ing insane

My Interests

Stuff. This and that. Things. Possibilities. Being in a state of wonder. Walking along the seashore in borrowed moonlight, whistling up a tune half a memory, half a fantasy.

I'd like to meet:

Kate Beckinsale.

Music:

Generally anything except rap/hip hop. Specifically, Pink Floyd, Michelle Anderson, Cowboy Junkies, Jethro Tull, Sarah Slean, Kirsty MacColl, Supertramp, Waylon Jennings, Loreena McKennit, Led Zeppelin, Over the Rhine, Pat Benatar, Muse, Fiona Apple, The Band, Vivaldi, Bjork, Kate Bush, The Incredible String Band, Queen, Roberta Flack, Blood Sweat and Tears, Melissa Auf der Maur and, of course, The Beatles.

Movies:

If I were to start this section, I would never stop. If I get really bored one day...I may start.

Television:

Generally stuff that has been cancelled/no longer on the air. Deadwood, Firefly, Wonderfalls, Buffy, Black Books, Dead Like Me, Band of Brothers, Great Hotels, Alan Partridge, The Prisoner, Dr. Who (although the new series rocks), The Avengers, Twin Peaks, Lovejoy.

Books:

Time and Again, the Hamish MacBeth series, Devil in the White City, Persuasion, Kingdom Come, This Is Orson Welles, The Time-Traveller's Wife and many others that are avoiding my thoughts right now.
