In a nutshell ...

I accidentally stumbled upon h2g2 while I was searching the internet for information about my favourite coffee shop. One of the top entries generated by the search engine was an entry in h2g2, which drew me into the site. The rest, as they say, is history.

I have a range of interests, including coffee (as noted above), running (which becomes less interesting when the Canadian winter gets colder), cooking (depending on how complicated the recipe is), reading (depending on the book), as well as beer and chocolate (forever interesting). When the season is right, I also enjoy rock climbing and water sports. In between all of that, I manage to maintain a full time job.

Until recently, the rest of my spare time was absorbed by something that felt like a neverending work-in-progress called "My Master's Thesis". I can proudly say that My Work is complete, and has been successfully defended . I'm now looking forward to getting on with that thing people refer to as "life". However, I somehow suspect that "life" has actually been happening this whole time.

My favourite type of food is Thai. There is a great Thai restaurant near where I live that serves the most amazing #25 (an awesome mix of chicken, potatoes, coconut milk and curry). If I had to choose the last meal I could ever eat, that would be it. If I had to choose a last dessert, it would definitely be cheesecake. If I had to eat the same food for three days in a row, it would likely be Chef-Boy-ar-Dee Beefaroni. Sad as it may seem, it's a comfort food from my childhood.

My pet peeve in life is stupid people. The sort of people who turn right from the left turn lane, and can't understand why they had an accident. The sort who drive mini-vans as if they were sports cars. I sometimes feel like a bad case of road rage just waiting to happen.

My most favourite things in life are the simple things: time with friends, a good movie, and a hot cup of coffee.

Cheers ,
