About Me


Get in me transporter, ye dirty slags
I take photos, sometimes. http://www.flickr.com/photos/85138530@N00/ & http://www.flickr.com/photos/52604929@N00/
Honey, I rearranged the collection
Because Formal Invention
Is what gets the attention
Of critics, dealers and whores.
But we as Collectors
Are not the inspectors
Of positions taken for or against
We buy what we like
When the mood strikes
By Artists we love and adore.
Leigh.
I take my job as Dj of The Boombox very seriously.

Hélas, hélas, hélas ! J'aime une fille qui a une très jolie nuque, de très jolis seins, une très jolie voix, de très jolis poignets, un très joli front, de très jolis genoux... mais qui est... lâââââche...

Television:


+

POCOYO!
Any programme with Stephen Fry, because he seems like such a great person.

Books:


Crystal Structure of SmcL, a Bacterial Neutral Sphingomyelinase C from Listeria for some light reading.
God, that was interesting.

Or if i'm feeling emotional..

Heroes:


People who work hard, do what they mean, have a good laugh. Don't take themselves seriously. Take inspiration.
..

That's Sarah Brightman, not that one out of Evanescence.
Clueso, Cale & Cash. Though generally people with the initials 'JC' are very good - like Jesus Christ, for example. Or any with the first initial 'J'.

I like Andy Kostrzewski . You should too.
