So I got another blog.

This account's mostly meant as a means to keep an eye on other people's Blogspot sites, but I might end up adding stuff here later. I was thinking along the lines of pictures, memes, fanfic (assuming I get back into it again) and stuff you'd find on other blogs. Maybe not so much in the drama department.

For those of you who don't know me...uh...if you're reading this, odds are you know me. But anyway! Humor me. For those of you who don't know me, my name's Lawrence. As of the time of this writing, I'm 24, two months into a three-month probationary period as an IT guy at a private bank in Geneva, scared sh--witless in my first career position after almost a decade of temping at helpdesks, and not nearly in the kind of shape for DDR as I was about two months ago. I am fluent in English, Franglish, Chinglish, and Spanglish, and only slightly more adept in French and Mandarin than a second-year language student who discovered a kilogram of hashish laying around on his desk eight hours ago. No, I did not discover a kilogram of hashish laying around on my desk eight hours ago.

I am a superficial media junkie. Although I appreciate film, I tend to enjoy movies a lot more. Thanks to the Internet, I have also been devoutly following TV shows like House, 24, and Lost and stuff from the other side of the Pacific, like Yakitate!! Japan and Glass Mask. I tend to absorb random movie knowledge, and have been known to quote movies I haven't seen. Some people call it "poseur." I call it...hey, look over there! *scurries offscreen*

I've been going through a lot of music phases, but I still remain loyal to Garbage, No Doubt (although I've yet to acquire Gwen Stefani's solo album), and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and have picked up into downtempo music like Zero 7 and Morcheeba. I've also been a fan of ska-core and reggae, though the only name I can remember is listed above (although Rude Boys Unity is a local DJ group that mostly sticks to reggae and dub and they kick ass). No, I did not discover a kilogram of hashish laying around on my desk ten hours ago. My little brother, who will usually be referred to as LilBro for the sake of calling him LilBro, has shaped my taste in punk rock, with a liberal dose of Anti-Flag and NoFX. MTV has shaped some of my listening preferences, having introduced me to The Dandy Warhols and Franz Ferdinand--no, wait, those were also LilBro. Who probably picked it up from MTV.

Anyway, I really don't have much else to say here for the time being. Maybe I'll jot down movie reviews here. Maybe I'll post pictures. We'll see. Meanwhile, don't pay too close an eye here, but feel free to drop by now and then to see if I ever touch this thing.
