I think Belle from Beauty and the Beast said it best:
"I want adventure in the great wide somewhere, I want it more than I can tell, And for once it might be grand, To have someone understand I want so much more than they've got planned"
Music
Abba, Beatles, Clash, Deep Purple, ELO, Fleetwood Mac, Gomez, Holly (Buddy), Ian Brown, Jimi Hendrix, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, Method Mana and Redman, Nirvana, Oasis, Pharcyde, Queens of the Stone Age, Rolling Stones, Supergrass, T-Rex, Who, X (insert name here), Neil Young, Frank Zappa.
I like much other music too...these were just the first thoughts a-z. General genres include hip hop, jazz, rock (pop, prog and punk), ska, classical (i don't mean movie soundtracks or daily mail cds either!), blues, soul, folk and at least one or two bits of country and western (by which I mean willy nelson or gram parsons). I'm not really into dance, house, drum and bass...but that's more through ignorance than actual dislike. If someone wants to convert me then go nuts!

About me: Award winning *cough* comedy writer and standup comedian newly started on 'that London scene'. My day job fluctuates but involves swings and roundabouts, ie. lose there, gain here. Rather than hang around there, get moved along here. The rest about me will unfold like a piece of paper folded in half more than eight times according to common mathematical wisdom...or nine, according to a bloke I met called Shed.
Who I'd like to meet: Funny people. Wise people. Good looking people with low standards. Ugly people with middling to slightly higher than average standards. Foreigners (they don't play the same game do they?). Geniuses with talent. Geniuses without talent. Decent people (where did they go?). Exceptionally entertaining people or exceptionally boring people (same thing). Celebrities who've been in car accidents (for a proposed photo shoot).
I'm finished with A Demon Awaits , just waiting for cover art now.
In the meantime, I'm planning a winery tour to visit the winery where Sin and Vengeance takes place. So far I've gotten a grea response, so I hope it will be a great event.
It's been a great week here. I read the movie script based on Sin and Vengeance. It was really cool reading someone else's interpretation of my characters.
