- About Me:
- You'll find me in leafy Sutton, Surrey with one man and one small son - oh, and two cats, but I made a conscious choice to get those!
In one half of my life I do the stay-at-home Mum thing - playing with my son, avoiding the housework, writing, editing, messing about on the web or in the gym and getting out on my bike as much as I can.
In the other half, I lurk in the Marketing Department of Forbidden Planet London on the South Bank of the Thames.
Between the two, I try to fit pubbing, clubbing and the occasional party... I'd hate to think that the more interesting end of my wardrobe has been abandoned :D
- Favorite Games:
- I'm an RPG-phreak; starting with the ubiquitous D&D as a kiddie then playing way too many years of Cyberpunk before encountering White Wolf's 'World of Darkness'.
I've played most things - from Twilight 2000 to Flashing Blades, from Blue Planet to ShadowRun, from home-written systems (come on, we've all been there!) to Summonor on the PS2.
Oh - and I've occasionally dabbled in the likes of Talisman and Munchkin. I may be a thirty-something Mom, but who says I have to grow up?
- Favorite Books:
- With where I work, all the books I could ever dream of are right under my fingers... I fulfilled a 20-year ambition when I finally met Stephen Donaldson - and I've had Michael Marshall Smith sign my copy of Only Forward to boot.
I've read the ubiquitous 'core' SF novels (you know the ones, Gibson, Stephenson and Banks plus Vonnegut, Heinlein and Philip K Dick) plus kept up with a more contemporary list that inlcudes Palanhiuk, Thompson and Ellis. For train-reading on sleepy mornings, there's the military history by Pressfield and Manfredi - and if I'm really really hungover, then I dig the trashy fantasy out from the back of the shelf where no-one can see it!
- Favorite Comics:
- I'm not much of comics/grpahic novels person - I find the format difficult to get my head around. Maybe it's a girlie thing, I dunno.
I used to buy 2000AD, then got sucked into ElfQuest many years ago and had to buy Omaha the Cat Dancer in from the US after borrowing them from a friend. I've also made the effort to read some of the important works of the genre: Dark Knight, Watchmen and Maus.
More recently, my partner brought me 300 from a comic store in Brighton and he never CEASES to nag me about getting round to both Sandman and Lucifer!
- Favorite Movies:
- My all-time-top-movies: The Dead Poets' Society, Kundun (yes, I KNOW it has a Philip Glass soundtrack - it's THAT good a film!), Flash Gordon, the LOTR trilogy (of course), The Man Who Would Be King, Clerks, Mister Vampire, Lost Translation, The South Park Movie, The Dark Crystal, Fight Club (although the book was better), Being John Malkovich, The Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Time Bandits and Tideland...
I have a thing for comic book adaptations (I have to watch them even though they're mostly awful!), for good anime, for the Coen Brothers, for Chinese arthouse and for Christopher Walken. Just don't take me near a Chick Flick - you can stuff Barf Actually exactly where it belongs!
- Favorite TV Shows:
- Battlestar and FarScape, Firefly, Buffy and Angel, Monkey and The Water Margins. Carnivale and Deadwood. Spaced, Spooks, Sex And The City, The Shield. The first series of 24 and the first series of Lost - kind of wandered off from both after that. Futurama (so much better than The Simspons!), South Park, King Of The Hill.
- Favorite Music:
- A little bit of everything; my partner's CD collection looks like a larger branch of HMV and I hear so much music I tend to forget (or is that blank?) what it's called. Long time faves, though, range from Peter Gabriel to Tool to the Buttholes to QOTSA to AC/DC to Floyd to King Missile to Richard Cheese to Ivor Cutler to The Mediaeval Baebes to Meat Katie... as long as it's not (shudder) Philip Glass, I'm happy.

Ogres, Transformers and Daleks, O My!
I have a five-metre-square marquee which I've filled with Shrek III on X-Box 360 pods, giant Transform… Continue

And Where Am I Going To Put A Twelve-Foot Transformer?
On June 22nd and 23rd, Forbidden Planet will be at West End Live, Leicester Square, London.
I’ve been handed a floored, fully carpeted marquee, hung with my company colours, along with photographic backdrop and full furnishings - and 130,000 people looking for Something Interesting To See. All I need to do?
Supply that Something.

My Friend Flickr
Over the last couple of weeks, I have been obsessively ransacking old photographs.
Other than pictures of my son (of which I have oodles) I've got almost nothing – fragmented snapshots, scattered throughout packets, boxes and
history. There's no sense to them – significant moments are missed, yet
I have half-a-film's worth of Adam

A Farewell to Feet
A minute’s silence, pray, as I slowly place my old Doctor Marten’s boots in the bin.
They have been true friends, never judging, always reliable. They have been there for me through hell and high mud; I have slept in them, fought in them, fucked in them, gone to work in them, walked thousands of miles
in them, thrown up on them, even cleaned them occasionally – and they have
never turned from me, never broken as much as a lace.

Conventional Extremes
In essence, they were very much the same – overpriced coffee, milling geeks, rubbish goody bags and a surfeit of flyers. Each one consisted
of a series of stands; each
