Bio
Lives in Cape Town, subject to the inexpressible whims of cats, academia and an Evil Landlord.

Likes: non-realist fiction, procrastination, Dorothy Parker, sf b-movies, cooking huge meals for friends.
Low reprehensible passions: spaceships, superheroes, swordfighting.
Dislikes: hot weather, cherubs, dial-up modems, karaoke, African political realism, Tom Cruise.
Vices: hyperbole, pulp literature, unmarked quotation, Earl Grey tea.
Virtues: efficiency, waffle, occasional intelligence.

Breaks easily. May fizz suddenly without warning in presence of certain catalysts. Will growl at grammatical malfeasance. Gets high on words.
