CURRENT MISSION

Expand, give and meet new people.

ABOUT ME

I'm a software engineer with literary aspirations, I work the hours and at night I beat my head against the towering edifice that is the creative process. Hilarity ensues.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I intend to host people as soon as I get a couch ready, but before that I intend to meet people for coffee or beer or whatnot, and see whether I can help.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Green as the day is long.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Yes, but in reverse order. I'm an indie hipster bastard when it comes to music, aspiring pomo-lit-faggot when it comes to books and a big fan of film-noir, avant-garde and other hip french labels when it comes to cinema.

Among my favorite authors I could name, in absolutely free-associative order: Charles Stross, Thomas Pynchon, Kurt Vonnegut, Neal Stephenson, Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Haruki Murakami, Dan Simmons, Philip K. Dick, Umberto Eco, William Gibson, Vernor Vinge, Michel Foucault, Jean Baudrillard, Paul Auster, Alessandro Baricco, Austin Osman Spare and Georges Bataille.

To name a few.

In the area of cinema, my favorite directors are, again in automatic-writing order: Andrei Tarkovsky, Jim Jarmushc, Takashi Miike, Wim Wenders, David Lynch, Hal Hartley, Akira Kurosawa, John Hillcoat and more in that line.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I once saw an oyster unboil an omelet.

Lehren, lernen, teilen
