| Introduction | Lives in Cape Town, subject to the inexpressible whims of cats, academia and an Evil Landlord. Likes: non-realist fiction, procrastination, Dorothy Parker, sf b-movies, cooking huge meals for friends. Low reprehensible passions: spaceships, superheroes, swordfighting. Dislikes: hot weather, cherubs, dial-up modems, African political realism, Tom Cruise. Vices: hyperbole, pulp literature, Earl Grey tea. Virtues: efficiency, waffle, occasional intelligence. Breaks easily. May fizz suddenly without warning in presence of certain catalysts. Will growl at grammatical malfeasance. Gets high on words. |
