13 things

  1. I live in a small but cozy home in Johannesburg with my husband, our daughter, our 2 cats, a tortoise named Dude and my husband's father. I do sometimes blog about them, and more now so that I have merged the family blog with my own.
  2. I work as a systems engineer technical lead at a very large IT company. Sometimes, I do cool things in my day to day job that I sometimes like to share on my tech blog. But my opinions (on this blog and that one) may not represent those of my employer. This blog is mine in my private capacity (as is my tech blog).
  3. I like to think about politics, and may even have an opinion about it, once in a blue moon.
  4. I love to take pictures of my every day life. Lots of them. My husband believes I am the eternal tourist.
  5. I write stories when the bug bites, and would like to be a writer one day when I grow up.
  6. I listen to a lot of music from a wide variety of genres, but tend to lean towards the darker sounds. Mostly obsessed with folk metal, steam punk and gypsy punk. I live for Ensiferum and Turisas.
  7. I am an avid reader, and can read a lot, when work/life allows.
  8. My family and I do not own a television set. We watch a lot of DVDs. And we each have an X Box 360 (using an HD projector or HD screen instead of a television set). I think our lives are better for it.
  9. I like to tinker in the garden sometimes, and may even occasionally grow things. 
  10. My husband and I, on occasion, may revamp a room in our home, which I rather enjoy, especially if I can throw something interesting into the mix, such as blending old and new from different worlds.
  11. I like a blend of very old and very futuristic, but don't much like the present - mostly where media and clothing is concerned.
  12. I am completely and utterly addicted to Star Wars and Harry Potter. Also love Star Trek, Indiana Jones, Doctor Who, Stargate and Farscape. And comic books. The real type. That may not make you laugh.
  13. And yes, I do live online. I spend a fair amount of my free time online, especially on Tumblr, Last.fm, Facebook and my trusty Google Reader.
