Over one million page views per month make this wild and weird animated cartoon series one of the hottest on the web.
I'll tell you now, there's some truth to Jack Nicholson's character in The Shining, so it's probably a good thing that I'm really not a tetchy, alcoholic git. I haven't slept with any ghosts yet either, but hey, never say never. I'm English - with a selection of crunchy European bits - but I've been wandering the world for a few years, for a variety of reasons. At the moment, I'm back living in London.
I suspect I'd feel blind if my intuition ever turned off, and I pride myself on remaining open-minded and kind despite everything. I do have a dark streak - I think it's a fairly common side effect of being reasonably intelligent and well informed - but it's well under control, and there isn't a malicious bone in my body. Which is nice.
When I'm not writing, I like to keep myself amused by exploring, reading, swimming, spending time with friends, watching movies and gigs, gazing at the stars/stormy seas/fires/woodlands/ancient places/&c, and occasionally hacking up the odd pixellated monster or some such. I know Net Fu.
I tend to have all sorts of random questions on my mind. Today, these include:
- Why doesn't Dubai build an underground city complex, given the summer heat out there, and the fact they're building just about everything else? Or if not an Underside, then how about a new Wonder of the World designed to last five thousand years -- a Colossus, say, or a mighty Labyrinth?
- If reincarnation were true, would we need to live our lives in sequential order, or could souls hop around in time?
- How did Staff Sergeant Max Fightmaster get such an insanely butch name, and can he live up to it?
- What sort of society would live in a wondrous crystal city powered by the sacrifice of unwilling victims?
In general, I'm interested in just about everything, with the possible exceptions of celebrities and car engines. I've been lucky enough to have some rather strange experiences over the years, which I cherish. Perhaps it's something to do with being a lapsed Anthropologist.
