| Introduction | I'm Candide Peel. I have, variously, had breakfast with an Orang Utan, served dinner to a Monkee, and travelled across Bristol on a bus with an armadillo. I once saw a zebra with a surfboard driving up the Edgeware Road in London in a Citroen 2CV. There were no drugs involved on my part. I can't speak for the zebra though. I've done a bit of being a poet. And even more of not being a poet. Oh, and I have Opinions. Lots of 'em. This blog is a dump for them; for random thoughts that entertain me; small events I feel a need to record somehow; and other stuff that grabs my attention in the moment. |
| Interests | Stuff. And some other stuff too. |
| Favorite movies | The Draughtsman's Contract, The Leopard, Die Hard, Predator, Calamity Jane, anything with Fred Astaire dancing, Frost Nixon, and usually the last film I saw (with the notable exception of Prometheus!) |
| Favorite music | Oh, all kinds. Depends on what I'm doing; what my mood might be; and even what the weather is! |
| Favorite books | See music. Although I have to confess a grand love of 'The Glass Bead Game' by Hermann Hesse. God, how much do I want to see that game being played?! |
Chicken monkey shoes?
Chicken monkey shoes are absolutely the best means of getting to the apex of mascarpone without crampons.
