About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To prepare "Spaghetti Aglio e Olio" that are spicy enough yet not too hot!

PHILOSOPHY

"Do unto yourself as you might wish thy will be done
By someone else and try your best to treat yourself
With just a little kindness"
Clearlake

It works the other way round in the first place, really. And I'm all for that! But I always liked the special point of view in this song. And it's also true.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No experience so far. My brother told me about couchsurfing - the concept sounds great, so here I am!

Interests

I enjoy killing zombies, steering robots, traveling space & harvesting wheat - this and more on the small space of my living-room table, together with a bunch of friends; the realm of boardgames. It's my primary passion.

Closely followed by (in no particular order):
Visiting concerts, taking walks, cooking with friends, partying the night away (often but not always including dancing & drinking), enjoying rain & thunderstorms, playing LBP & Mario Kart, meeting new people, watching movies (from trash to independent to hollywood), dozing in the afternoon...
I used to write & host Mystery Dinner Parties and a bunch of other LiveEvents, I plan on starting this pastime again.
- I wish I'd read more.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
My favourite artist is Patrick Wolf, but I'm generally open minded. I enjoy bands like Maximo Park, Maccabees, Voxtrot, The Veils, Drive-By Argument, Longpigs, The Catherine Wheel, The Mountain Goats, The Second Band among many others. In a dancing mood a beat or two don't hurt, either. I also like Sigur Ros and singer/songwriter like Elvis Perkins, Nick Drake, Ben Folds, early Elton ...and, of course, Morrissey!
To this day Metal has eluded me! ;)

Books:
An Instance of the Fingerpost by Ian Pears
Short Stories by H.P. Lovecraft
Abarat by Clive Barker

Movies:
Breakfast on Pluto / Wonder Boys / Fight Club / Labyrinth / Lust, Caution / Mononoke-hime / An ambigous report about the end of the world / 8 femmes / Clue
