About Me

Strangely some people seem to find my cynicism and gruffness quite endearing, that said I seem to be mellowing in my old age.I am still alive or at least still twitching. layout by ärriel ©

My Interests

Usual cliched things and excessively long yet incomplete lists...oh and pear drops.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who can hold my attention for more than 3 minutes*...which given that the competition currently consists of Dick Van Dyke and (the all be it legendary) Quincy shouldn't be to hard.*Disclaimer: 3 minutes is an arbitrary figure and as such I will not be held liable for not adhering to it. The term "attention" is exclusive of acts of god and general apathy.

Music:

City of Caterpillar, Neil Perry, A days refrain, Swing Kids, Sleepytime Trio, Amanda Woodward, Merzbow, US Maples, Sonic Youth, Talking Heads, Small Faces, Shellac, Dinosaur Jr, Robert Johnson, Minor Threat, Rites of Spring, Janis Joplin, Pavement, Air, Soulwax, Bob Tilton, Sole, Push Button Objects, Dr.Octagon, R.E.M, Bad Brains, Neil Young,Life Without Buildings, Young Marble Giants, Jawbreaker, The Pine, Underworld, Miles Davis...all sorts really.

Movies:

Chasing Amy, Shawshank Redemption, Barbarella, Kids, Hi-Fidelity...though when it boils down to it I'll watch any old crap.

Books:

The minotaur takes a cigarette break - Steven Sherrill, Kavalier and Clay - Michael Chabon, King Rat - James Clavell, Brave New World - Aldous Huxley, Hi Fidelity - Nick Hornby, Will Self - Dorian, that sort of thing
