CURRENT MISSION

Figuring things out as I go along. SE Asia in Feb 2024.

ABOUT ME

I love strong red tea, long walks and rain. Sigur Ros, Floyd's dark side of the moon but also Monty Python's bright side of life. I like idea of Bodhisattva and making thin pancakes. I like heavy, dark rye bread and Herzog's documentaries. I like cats for their lazyness, dried fruits for resistance and Joe Strummer for his voice. Theodor Kittelsen and Depeche Mode. I believe in rock'n'roll. I believe in Moomins. I adore itchy wool jumpers and cinnamon; sheep which are cute and the planet Jupiter which is huge.

PHILOSOPHY

"Das Paradies
in Feindeshand.
Doch unter dem Pflaster
liegt der Strand" (Betontod)

Music, Movies, and Books

Pavic, Stasiuk, Pratchett, Lem, Gaiman, Pérez-Reverte, few somber Russians, some jolly Czechs (like Hrabal or Hašek) - these gentelmen write well.
Directors - e.g. Faith Akin, Tony Gatlif, Tim Burton, Woody Allen, Guy Ritchie - hats off.
Music- too broad a subject; let’s just say good one.
