Interests

Writing: i'm lost in Gnien tad-Dmugh at the moment. Sometimes i forget all about the real world. And when I'm not writing, i'm reading novels or mangas, watching theatre dance performances, travelling, sunbathing in my garden, watching 80s anime, attending concerts and music festivals (Eurockeenes, Pink Pop and Rock Werchter have been memorable experiences) and meeting interesting people. I don't collect stamps, but i don't throw them away either. I'm very fond of Japanese manga & anime especially those by Leiji Matsumotu, Osama Tezuko and Hayao Myasaki - just watched Kiki's Delivery Service - a very sweet film by Myasaki. I'm dreaming of Santorini and Mykonos, Gnejna and Ghajn Tuffieha, Barcelona and Transylvania.

visit ALEATEIA, the website of my theatre group.

Check out the site dedicated to SQAQ L-INFERN, the teenage fantasy novel which I've co-written with Simon Bartolo. The book came out in April 2007. Wied Wirdien, book 2 of the Fiddien Trilogy, is still being written - i'm hoping it will come out in April 2008.

You're welcome to visit my MySpace profile.

By the way, most of my friends call me Nunzja, or Nunz for short, and if they're referring to me, then i'm in-Nunz. And when I make some silly mistake, or trip in a very ungraceful manner (which, i'm afraid, happens quite often), then that's a Nunzjatura.

Favorite Music

Marc Almond and Tori Amos.

I haven't been to a Marc Almond concert yet.

I've seen Tori Amos on 1 july 2007 - the last act of Rock Werchter 2007.

Current favourite bands:

Click on the names of bands in the list below to watch clips I took during concerts. I'll be posting more video clips soon.

bjork, the good the bad and the queen, tori amos, kaiser chiefs, arctic monkeys, oi va voi, damien rice, chemical brothers, scissor sisters, smashing pumpkins, I am X, daftpunk, marilyn manson, dead can dance, juliet lewis & the licks, peaches, CocoRosie, depeche mode, duran duran, pj harvey, xtruppaw, the creatures, alphaville, morrissey, madonna, kim wilde

Favorite Song: la cura - franco battiato

Favorite Album: favourite worst nightmare - arctic monkeys

Favorite Music Video: the chauffeur- duran duran

 

Favorite Movies

Me You and Everyone We Know, Perfume, Howl's Moving Castle, Memoirs of a Geisha, Warriors and many many others. All films by Almodovar, Kieslovski, Tim Burton, Gulliermo del Toro. Paprika - excellent soundtrack by Hirasawa Susumu.
 

Favorite TV Shows

Documentaries are perhaps the only decent programmes still showing on tv. MTV now stands for Mediocrity TV - where has the music gone?
 

Favorite Books

Midnight's Children - Salman Rushdie
Le Fil de Soie - Michele Gazier
The Shadow of the Wind - Carlos Ruis Zafon
Histoire Couleur Terre - Kim Dong-Hwa

"When a finger points at the moon, the imbecile looks at the finger."

Well, i cannot say alot, but she was one of the best teachers I had at the time, I remember doing Romeo and Juliet... n dit coudl be felt that there was a certain dedication and love for the subject - which is drama (sorry im not keen into it, i dont know the terminology heheh)

Fascinated by your book. Lisa's illustrations seem to add some more magic to it. Is it already available for sale anywhere on the internet? Would love to buy it for my nephews...who am I kidding, would love to buy it for myself!

The best in all she does! I remember how helpful you were when i lost a quote for my thesis... some roles will be forever imortalised in my memory with the life you gave them! I have been lucky to see such genius at work or play and can think of her as a friend!
