| Location | A country town in, Australia |
| Introduction | I must have been bored at work because I started hanging out in the southern Philippines' wars during my annual holidays. That could only satisfy me for so long so I quit and went to Colombia where I turned into a vampire. Now I'm writing a book about it and hoping the nights stay long so I can get more done. |
| Interests | Closing the gap between thought and expression. |
| Favorite Movies | Five Easy Pieces |
| Favorite Music | That's more to discuss than list, but I like Bowie's Low, Heroes and Lodger albums; salsa and Beethoven's final series of string quartets; Diamanda Galas and Devo; Matt Walker and the Dirty Three (live not recorded); an assortment of rap (recorded not live); Jane's Addiction and Fugazi's "Nice New Outfit"; homicidal blues and car crashing rock. I like quiet, too. |
| Favorite Books | Joan Didion's Slouching Towards Bethlehem and The White Album, Michel Tournier's The Erl King, John Updike's Rabbit Run, Michael Herr's Dispatches, DH Lawrence's Sons and Lovers. |
