My Interests

I'm a PhD student atm, so I seem to be under a deadline most of the time, which can chaff the elbows. Now I cant resist a good night out, good people, good music, good conversation. I am a bad pianist, years of practice as a spry young thing has now given way to fingers that dont hit the right keys most of the time, but I love music. I'll sing along to most things pretty badly, but at least i do it with conviction lol. go visit http://cardboardarmour.blogspot.com/ for more like these...

I'd like to meet:

nice people...with something to say for themselves. There is something to be said for good conversation, indulge me. .. width="425" height="350" ....!

Music:


Get this video and more at MySpace.com Bit of everything, from Juliet Turner through Radiohead, TLC, Alicia Keys, Ray Lamontagne, Paul Simon, Metallica, AC/DC, Beyonce, Meatloaf, Ray Charles, Johnny Cash, Stevie Wonder, Ian Brown, The Verve, anything Jazz Hands Musical related, Sarah Mclaughlan, Michael Jackson, George Michael, Muse, Elton John, Barry White, Ben Folds Five, Danko Jones, Bravery, Damien Rice, Joss Stone, Norah Jones, Days of the New, Jay-Z, Tori Amos, Eurthymics, Pretenders, Velvet Revolver, The Kinks, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, I could go on for at least another 2 weeks but I shall restrain myself.

Movies:

The ANCHORMAN....the only film to make me cry with laughter...ask me about it I'll be quoting for a good hour gives u time to run away at speed. Breakfast Club (best opening song ever, extra points for anyone who knows it) The Hannibal Lecter Trilogy, Scarface, Heat, Chicago, Walk the Line, Pulp Fiction, Love Actually, Rainman (actually most things with Dustin Hoffman, except Hook I will only watch that at xmas we gloss over that) Seven, Casino, Legally Blonde, (actually i'm an utter sucker for chick movies, it pains me to say it so I have an alarming collection on that theme.) There are more they escape my mind atm. http://cardboardarmour.blogspot.com/

Television:

My favourite probably Buffy and Angel, David Boreanaz...it works for me. Fraiser gotta love it. Family Guy, CSI, I've become an absolute Monk addict, and Deal or No Deal I remained strong for so long but last week I succumbed. Anything dance related, dancing on ice strictly ice dancing or come dancing or whatever they hell they're called, all that jazz.

Books:

Anything by Rod McKuen, Hitchhikers, Frank McGuinness Plays 1, The Samuel Beckett Collection, Van Gennep, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, Harry Potter Goblet of Fire onwards, The Boyfriend Club, (brings back memories of being 12) Gone with the Wind, Scarlett, Angels and Demons (much better than the Da Vinci code)

Heroes:

I have my own personal heroes, they know who they are...
