      I think I lead a charmed life. I think there's a mixture of good and bad luck in there, but I have a knack of landing on my feet. Perhaps that's due to charm rather than having a charmed life. I don't know. *shrugs*

      My tweet name is based upon my real name. 'Psi' is for Si, or Simon, 'Breaker' for my surname Brake. It just sounds a bit more exciting being a Psi Breaker. Whatever that might mean.

      It also means my wife Laura is a Law Breaker and my son Elliott is a Hell Breaker.

      This always changes. There's a list of Artists here, that's close to a record, but it's not an exact science, and it's not individual musicians on the whole:

      Trent Reznor and Nick Cave would both be up there, anyhow.

      I used to.

      I've very interested in fate and destiny, and when younger was fascinated by fortune telling, so that I now have a collection of Tarot card packs and know a fair bit about horoscopes and all that sort of gumpf. However, I'm much more of the opinion that you make your own fate or destiny.

      At times I've felt like I've had a charmed life, but I think if I really want to be the sort of person I always wanted to be its something I need to strife for myself, rather than wait for 'fate' to deliver to me on a silver plate.

      The fact that two good friends just had a baby. In particular the fact that Rufous, normally oh-so-witty, was too overcome by the experience to offer comments. Although he tweeted to me: "I had all these facetious tweets I was going to use, but apparently I was a sentimental tart all along. Who knew?"

      Great. Welcome to the Parent Club, you two. And the first rule of Parent Club is... let sleeping babies lie.

      Bombprrof, by Michael Robotham. Given that the main protagonist is a guitar player confused for a master criminal and goes by the name of Sami MacBeth, I wasn't expecting it to be punching above my intellectual weight, but it was cleverer than I thought it'd be. Does require a degree of belief suspension since Sami has such amazing luck (good and bad) and a knack for survival that he shouldn't have given his real life aspirations (musician rather than criminal), but it's pretty cool if you like your heroes to be likeable characters that survive against all odds because they deserve to.

      Let's see. 8 out of 10?

      Currently reading, and almost finished, Life Expectancy by Dean Koontz.
