In real life, I work for this company. My home life revolves around my soulmate, our bigger-than-life cat and friends. On weekends, everyone’s evicted from the kitchen and I get to do my stuff: trying out new recipees with my favourite music in the background on full blast. I love the ritual of shopping for fresh merchandise, bookmarking my recipee books, writing down stuff when watching a cooking program (BBC has the best!). After a long working day, it’s cat playing time and some deliciously home cooking from Leo. Then off to my home office for some more work or for some couch potato time if the TV’s has something interesting or funny to offer. I am passionate about archeology and history and I love tennis and a wee bit of rugby.

In general I still get quite mad at the stupidity of the people who rule the world but that’s most probably my Trek reflex kicking in: I just can’t help dreaming about a better world. Hence my love for computer games where you get to build the city or world of your choice. And  naturally, no limits on spending, as opposed to real life.

My Trek-o-mania notwithstanding, I'm a great fan of SF-parody : Red Dwarf is my absolute favorite ! And finally: some day I hope to write a book or scenario of my own.
