About Me

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I enjoy everything from rock to classical music to alternative to hip hop to latin rhythms to jazz and so and so on. My favourite artists include Arctic Monkeys, The National, Coldplay, Rainbow Kitten surprise, Muse, Jack Johnson, The Black Keys, Kings of Leon, Damien Rice, Jack White, Keb Mo, Jake Bugg, Kendrick Lamar, One Republic, The xx and many more. Not a day goes by when I don't listen to music.

Movies: I'm a fan of serious drama films and all the weird movies that make you think and feel a certain kind of way. Also I like action and thriller movies. But sometimes all the rom-coms and easy watch movies will do.
Some of my favourite are Kill Bill, Mr Nobody, The Prestige, Before Sunrise, The Dark Knight, The Intouchables and the list can go on for more than day.
However, most of all I am a TV show junkie having seen everything from Friends, The Office, Prison Break, Mr Robot, Parks and Recreation, Sherlock, Suits, How I Met Your Mother, Narcos, Grey's Anatomy and even Sex and the City when it was more than right to fan girl about it.

Books: unfortunately I don't get to read as much as I'd like (something that I'm definitely working on) but when I do I get completely absorbed in the knowledge that the work offers. My favourite books of all time are Nineteen Eighty Four by George Orwell, The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger and To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
