| Introduction | Owns a grey Rasta hat, a very old church organ which doesn't work, and a suit with Buck Mulligan monogrammed on the inner pocket. Likes small cafes with newspapers on wooden tables. Also, second-hand stores with curious junk, old paintings, books and beaten-up antiques. Identifies with losers. Bugger. This is not a good sign. |
| Interests | Singing badly with collegemates, thinking about sailing a boat, stand up comedy, thinking about traveling to Brazil-India-East Coast of Sri Lanka-New Orleans-Guadeloupe-random Greek Islands etc etc, theatre, human rights, politics, dogs, cats, ducks, Salsa, random indie bands, tapas, pointless conversations,running gags |
| Favorite movies | Fire, Donny Brasco, One Love (Corny ending but love the rasta setting) Requiem for a dream, Crash (Racism in LA, brilliant), Trainspotting, the subtitles in one of the Monty Python movies, El Perro, Fight Club, Sideways, the second half of Broke Back Mountain, Blow, V for Vendetta (Kinda a mainstream version of 1984 - great screenplay), Elephant, Bowling for Columbine, Dogville, The Departed (Great screenplay, great photography, great soundtrack, and even Matt Damon was less aggravating than usual) |
| Favorite music | Some Indie and folk Rock... Waiting for Decay, Absinthe Glow,Wall flowers some Grunge, Metal-emo...a lot of Hurt Process, Juvenile Punk. The Killers, Razorlight, U2, Gin Blossoms, 3 doors down. Third eye blind, Reggae! (I listen to Voices of Jamaica every morning. Seriously. Or Jamaica All Stars. Gentleman. Passafire is another good indie roots group) Bachata, Merengue, Zouk, Soca, Reggaeton - so most Afro-Caribbean music :-) . Whoever sings Hotel Buenos Aires. Loved the counting crows before they went all poppy. Rammstein. (live)Klezmer music. Damien Marley. Ziggi (nope, not Ziggy, Ziggi. This guy is Dutch but grew up somewhere in the West Indies.)
