About Me

... work in progress...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people - nice people - Menschen, die gerne reisen

Music:

Portishead, Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, Ärzte, Tote Hosen, Outkast, Offspring, red hot chilli peppers, Frank Sinatra, The Doors, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Bob Marley, Trapped... Lotsa stuff – Rock, Punk Rock, Reggae and Ska at the moment.

Movies:

L’Auberge Espagnol, X-Men, Amelie, Quentin Tarantino movies, Blade Runner, Le Grand Bleu, A Clockwork Orange, Life of Brian, Trainspotting, High Fidelity, Lola rennt (Run Lola Run), The door in the floor, The Experiment, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Nightmare on Elm Street, Braveheart, MASH, Fight Club, Snatch, Matrix….

Television:

Don’t care much about TV. No time. If it’s a rainy day and I have nothing better to do – and if I have a TV – I watch Buffy, South Park or the Simpsons. But there usually is something better to do.

Books:

Lots! Some of my favourite authors are Tolstoi (Anna Karenina), Dostoevsky, Vladimir Nabokov (Lolita), H.G. Wells, D.H. Lawrence, Huxley, Thomas Hardy, Kant, Kafka, Thomas Mann, Max Frisch (Homo Faber), Göthe, Lessing, Schiller, Hermann Hesse, Terry Pratchett. Also like Harry Potter, Herr Lehmann, Grimm’s fairy tales and Ottfried Preußler. The only stuff I really hate are manuals and women’s magazines (Men’s are ok - more photos and better stories.).

Heroes:

The Cookie Monster
