Lorcan's Blurbs |
About me:
Originally from a faraway drumlin-land of Monaghan (famous homies Patrick Kavanagh and Ardal O'Hanlon), I came to Norwich to do a PhD in Superhero Movies.
Along the way I have worked as a barman in the grad bar at the UEA and the Temple Bar and a Kitchen Porter in the Belgian Monk. Tales of my trials, tribulations and unhealthy obsessions with fictional Amazonian superhero ladies can be found here: The Life and Times of Jimmny Homunculus. I have also deluded myself into thinking I can paint and draw cartoons and occasionally foist them on the public. I am usually to be found pottering around second-hand book shops, comic shops, charity shops the forum library and dodgy book shops (or would do if norwich had any decent ones). Other than that it's mostly a lifestyle of cantankerous shut-innery, but I occasionally get out to teach people about fil-ms and show overheads of Wonder Woman standing on Batman's head.
People often ask me when I will finish my PhD, I answer...whenever I figure out what terrible thing I did in a previous life.

Who I'd like to meet:
She Hulk, Wonder Woman Robocop, Batman...oh real people? mmm errr...Kurt Vonnegut, geeks, academics fetishists, pervoirts, humanists, goth ladies, comic book guys n' girls.
