Cathy's Interests
|
| General | Reading, writing, movies, food, wine ....all the usual stuff | | Music | Eclectic - generally rely on friends to say things like "Listen to this, it's good" to introduce me to new stuff.
Liking Radio Tarifa and Tartit quite a lot at the moment - and I found them for myself too. Love Mediaeval Baebes. Have fallen in love with Leonard Cohen all over again.
| | Movies | Also Eclectic
Last Films seen
The new Star Trek - ripping good yarn with excellent casting - let's have a new TV series!
Cheri - opulant, big budget costume drama based on a very slight story really. Pretty, poignant but fairly pointless. However, the leading man was cute in that sort of dark, wasted, celtic way - with cheekbones you could slice bread with and the film did provide a leading role for an older woman - so hooray! (Although the idea that a leading courtesan of that era could be so flat chested and skinny is pushing the envelope a bit).
Favourite films of all time - Bladerunner, Kind Hearts and Coronets, Excalibur, Fargo, State and Main. | | Television | I have more or less given up watching tv on a regular basis lately but I like anything that makes me laugh. I really miss Black Books and Drop the Dead Donkey.
I HATE Big Brother and all it's evil clones. | | Books | I'll read the back of a cornflake packet if there's nothing else to hand. My house is full of books. I can't stop buying books. Please help me.
Generally Sci-Fi, Detectives, History (particularly but not exclusively Roman/Roman Britain), Biographies, Chick Lit (and whatever the equivalent is called when it's written by a man - Prick Lit?). Current favourites Lindsey Davis and John O'Farrell and Tom Holt. Oh yes - and anything by Bill Bryson. And I've just started reading Pauline McLynn's Dublin set detective stories - liking those a lot. And Chaucer - always been a big fan of Chaucer. Rosemary Sutcliff was quite a formative influence too and periodically re-read.
| | Heroes | Robin Hood, Alexander the Great, Boudicca and My Mum |

Cathy's Blurbs |
About me:
....Grumpy Old Woman with a wide range of interests - excluding sport (apart from Sumo Wrestling - which only requires me to pay attention to it for about 30 seconds at a time).
I don't do walking - I do taxis. I don't do camping - I do hotels. I don't do ready meals - I do cooking.
I am not quite such a miserable git as the above implies. I work in the Voluntary and Community Sector - and I am quite nice to quite a lot of people on a fairly regular basis.
I also work as a freelance consultant and do the odd gig as a stand up comic - which, frankly is a lot more fun - but a good deal less lucrative. But as my mother always used to say "You can't have it all roads".
