Hello. I'm Lev Parikian, and this is my blog, Runny Thoughts.
I make my living from music.
Specifically, I wave my arms in front of groups of musicians in the hope that it will somehow enhance their music-making capabilities.
It's rewarding, fun, and, most importantly, keeps me off the streets. If you're interested in my doings in that area, I'm afraid I don't yet have a website (coming soon since 2006), but I'm sure you can glean any info you require from Google.
Other interests include writing, reading, cricket, food, and wondering why I came upstairs.
You can follow me on Twitter by clicking those words at the beginning of this sentence, but I cannot be held responsible for any emotional distress that may ensue.
I try to post here at least once a week. Feel free to give me a hard time if I don't. The posts cover a wide range of subjects, but the interests listed above tend to crop up more than others. I can only apologise to those who aren't interested in books, sport or eating.
You can read about my other writing activities on the 'Writing' page.
