gordon's Interests
General
I'm quite old to be starting out on most of my life's enthusiasms, but there you go.
In the near future, I shall be doing architecture, creative fiction and composing music properly.
I have, of course, been doing all three to a certain extent for about twenty years so far...
I love travel. I can't decide if the disasterous holidays make for better memories than the good ones. I'm particularly nostalgic about waking up in the Grand Hotel Pupp (five star, Karlsbad) with a bleeding head...
Music
Alizee: the most gawd-awful lyrics in Christendom sung by one of the world's most beautiful women.
Polish Rock'n'Roll; Camille singing with Nouvelle Vague and her own tune Le Sac des Filles; If Looks Could Kill by Camera Obscura; The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers; Masahide Sakuma's Lisa; Aldo Romano; Mishka Adams; 101 Strings plays 'Night in Vienna'; the opera Sophie's Choice... and ABBA! Cassandra - the finest pop tune ever
Movies
As Good As It Gets;
Daughters of Darkness;
Un Coeur En Hiver;
Marie Baie des Anges: operatically gorgeous celluloid
Television
I turn it on when my attention span is low, so basically anything junky, glamorous, fun;
Oh, and Boston Legal is the best series on television.

About me: I believe that if one explores one's mind, one gets to see the rest of the world through a richer array of perceptual channels.
Sometimes I think the world is meaningless and absurd and that makes me want to laugh and have fun with it.
I'm lazy. My ambitions far outstrip my desire to work.
I seek salvation in beauty. Girls are most beautiful of all, but there's also beauty in the discovery of beauty in unexpected places:
even scary, tentacled things seen in delirious nightmares hold a certain power of fascination.
To me, companionship is conversations. Even with dead people. One can listen to Domenico Scarlatti's harpsichord sonatas and know exactly what was going on with this guy's moods c. 300 years ago.
Who I'd like to meet: I enjoy meeting all sorts of people.
thank you. I hadn't seen any Symbolist paintings until you alerted mr to them (which is awful seeing as my father is a painter). They present exactly the sort of images I am looking to create with my music. I hope you are well.
Greeting from Paris. How's everything going? I will be in London from Nov the 16th to the 19th and then I am off across the pond to the US for a few months. Take care, Jerry
Well hello. Excellent use of semi-transparent boxes. The pic in the background of my page is one that I took in Chicago. I still don't know if I like the 3D borders, but I thought, eh, what the hell.
So when are you going to come to the US and play with us?!? :o)

Howdy, Gordon! Missing you a bit it seems over at DesignCommunity... one a week is hardly enough... hope you're having too much fun over here, or in the, gasp, real world!
