| Interests | Writing, journalism, politics, history, hanging out with friends, boozing, music, opera, ballet, travel, comedy, gay and lesbian issues. I also have a bizarre and thorough collection of British comedies from A (Are You Being Served?) to Y (Yes, Prime Minister). Most of them I've seen six million times over and can recite backwards. Yes sir, I challenge ye to a duel on the matter! Another quirk is a little competition I have with myself where I must identify by name or at least role any bit-part British actor from any sitcom, drama or serial through time as soon as I see them on screen. (This habit has given me particular pleasure, being a fan of Daniel Craig, Clive Owen and Catherine Zeta Jones long before Hollywood discovered them). Oh yeah... I can be a little odd. But it's these quirks in life that keep the world interesting. It could be worse: I could be into suduko. |
