Alan's Interests

General	CURRENT MOON moon phase
Music	Sigmatropic; Anil & Beth; Gorillaz; Kizzy Morrell; and Amy Winehouse, to name a few! Just check my Myspace friends for some bands both local, national and international.
Movies	Foreign films; anything black & white; anime; good SF films; trashy SF films as long as they have less than 3 stars on the rating system, in fact no stars is even better. Occasional Hollywood type films of course, but what really grabs me is any interesting independent film-making. Take for instance the mesmerisingly breaktaking film Kelling Brae directed by Alan Miller: Kelling Brae
Television	Heroes.
Books	Carol Ann Duffy's 'Rapture' is a real must for anyone romantic, or anyone who isn't a romantic. Anything by Bill Higginson: check his sites on the haiku links at Area 17.
Heroes	Most of them are dead, but I hear a few live ones have been allowed to live by the bureaucrats, but their time is runnin' out.

Alan's Details

Who I'd like to meet:
Real people who are bigger than the boxes that society tries to put us in, and who stay genuine inside and outside their jobs or whatever else they do. It isn't just writers, poets, and creative artists, who make this world worth visiting, but they sure do help.

POET: Patagonia Lost... Sylvia	Apr 3 2009 4:12 PM Hi Alan! Thank you for being my new poet friend. I live far away in Buenos Aires, so I'm terribly envious of all these events going on in the U.K. Haven't been there since 1999... Still, with your encouragement I might post some of my attempts at Haiku (wherever it is one posts them...). I get lost on Facebook, sorry! Sylvia
