I write, I ride, I read, I roll, I throw and get thrown, I watch, I listen…and think too much most of the time. I work as a spatial scientist in Brisbane Australia.
Obsessed with Japanese history and culture, time, the sentient mind, Human spaceflight, landscape, to free our minds, escaping this gilded biological cage and to get over that third bridge! Music is my muse.
Sleep is my last resort

I remember everything, even if it didn’t happen - Mark Twain
Fictional quotes:
People object when coerced down a particular path, even if they know it is for the better. It is primeval; they feel trapped and cannot get passed this feeling. You have to make them want to go; make the lead so soft they forget it is there.
- Sonam Dorje – 15th Dalai Lama
Yes Wilkins is a good man, he will do what is right. It’s just that what I need of him is not yet right.
- Yanagita, to an aboriginal elder
I’ve nominated you for the Inspiring Blogger award. Check it: http://jpmarshman.wordpress.com/2013/01/07/im-inspiring/
You blog has the potential to be very dangerous for me. I could find myself here reading hours pondering the points you’ve raised. And right now, I just don’t have time to do that! So I’m going to have to tear myself away…
Thanks Madison, glad you found it interesting. I know it’s a bit eclectic but most of the topics have arisen through research for spec fic etc.
I’m going to have to loosen up some of the schedule on my blog so I can get back to those sorts of topics myself, I think.
Always a good read, thanks so much for posting!

Just stopping by to say hi – I am so glad I found your blog! Haruki Murakami is one of my favourite authors also . His book “Kafka on the shore” was breathtaking. I also love Ha Jin, especially his book “Waiting”

I look forward to reading more,
Meg
Thanks for the link, I’ll have to give Ha Jin’s “Waiting” a look too.
