Profile Information
- Something Interesting About Me:
- I own 16 lava lamps, 15 of them made by mathmos, the last one a standard one in pink/white combination, just bought a lunar with a dent on cap to be fixed,, now looking for a vase. Even if I live in a small flat, a Galaxy should be the sherry on top! hi hi hi
Apart from this, I usually work in I.T but trying to establish my own company and if not successfull going back to music, making Drum n' Bass or electroacoustic. I designed some watches too (which never hit the shelves) with one I'd love to find the way to make it work.
If I wasn't soooo lazy, I'd have a SF scenario written by now. My favorites writers in SF are William Gibson, P.K Dick, robert Sheckley,
- Where I Live:
- I live in pAris (France)
- My First Lava Lamp was:
- I bought a purple/red telstar one year ago and shazaammm, I got addicted! Damned.
AS I try color combinations, liquid is often an issue so I emailed Mathmos on this and guess what... I was (nicely and kindly) turned down... Too bad
