| Introduction | Once a headless chicken flaneuring the streets of Belfast, Amsterdam and Glasgow. More recently I have been drawn towards a new 'Atrocity Exhibition' in the 'daughter of the Baltic' where I (for all my sins) tour coffee shops, write in my journal and capture daily life with my HTC Wildfire but thanks to Santa I am now using a Panasonic SDR-SW20. I try to read less than three books at once but usually fail miserably. I find new and amazing ways to procrastinate but only because there are too many interesting things that I want to discover including myself. |
