About Simon

  • I live with my wife and two daughters in Osaka, which is a city in Japan.
  • I work as a translator, an English teacher, and an interpretive dance instructor although, truth be told, the dance instructor thing is not really working out.

I like these things:

  • Pavement. Every single song on every single album.
  • Dazed and Confused. The movie, not the song. I don’t dislike the song, but I love the movie.
  • Samuel Beckett. Prose more than plays.
  • Don Delillo. Names. Mao II. Libra.
  • The smell in the air before a thunderstorm.
  • Gattaca. More for the friendship between Vincent and Jerome and the cold atmosphere than the genetic dystopia.
  • Galaxie 500. The first two mainly.
  • Nectarines. King of the fruit world.
  • Liberal Arts 2.0.
