Hello! I'm Josh. How are you?

Working, but I'm not sure towards what. Moving into my own place with a mortgage and everything!

I'd like to say video games but the truth is that I'm not that great, despite spending too much time on them. I'm a pretty good listener. I make a good lasagne.

I've got red hair maybe or possibly how little of it I have left ;)

None of these lists are complete but here goes...

Books: Pattern Recognition and Neuromancer by William Gibson; Choke and Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk, Irrationality by Stuart Sutherland. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K Dick.

Movies: Fight Club, Amélie, American Psycho, Repo Man, Ghost in the Shell, Slacker, The Rules of Attraction, Waking Life, The Princess Bride, Brazil, The Lives of Others, Primer, Twelve Monkeys, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, most of the Pixar ones and many more. I could probably also watch the Rifftrax version of anything.

TV: The Wire, Dexter, The Day Today, Brass Eye, Arrested Development, 15 Storeys High, Screenwipe, MST3K, Veronica Mars, House.

Video Games: Katamari Damacy, Shadow of the Colossus, Resident Evil 4, Half-Life 2, Portal, Geometry Wars, God of War.

Music: Underworld, Orbital, Nine Inch Nails, Boards of Canada, The Chemical Brothers, Aphex Twin, The Prodigy, cLOUDDEAD, LCD Soundsystem, Squarepusher, UNKLE, Bibio, Jonathan Coulton, quite a few of those Fabric mixes and a fair amount of Warp Records' stuff.

Food: Most of the ones that are bad for you. Some of the ones that aren't. Pasta, tapas, curry, dim sum... anything good, really.

My laptop, video games, the weekend. Friends and family already go without saying, right? That's five...

I also like those expensive espresso-based drinks - coffee with too much milk. I could live without them but they're quite nice.

How I really should get out of bed now, why I do my best thinking in the shower and if there is a food that you could live off, eating nothing else yet still having a balanced diet, what that food would be?

Style guides – the writing kind – and how I fail to adhere to them.

If I prefer 'interrobang' or 'quesclamation mark' ‽

Anticipating the weekend of rest and recreation. Saturday night's more my kind of night. Maybe staying in, at friends' or at a pub or club. It depends where I am and who I'm with.

I'm the kind of guy who will take 'no' for an answer. You might have to make the first move here. Maybe you'll be glad you did :)

...no ifs – just do it! Even weird messages are more interesting than no messages at all so click the button and type what you're thinking.
