About Me

I run a science fiction, fantasy, mystery, and horror bookstore called Mysterious Galaxy ... the bestest bookstore in the whole world. My life pretty much revolves around the place and the place pretty much revolves around me. I don't get out much. Who has the time and energy after a 60+ hour week? Instead, I tend to lose myself between the covers ... of books, you pervs.

My Interests

Books (yeah, obvious), movies, genre television, and sleep. (Guess which one I don't get enough of.)

I'd like to meet:

Takeshi Kovacs ... Never @#$% With an Envoy.
Okay, real people I haven't already met:
Michael Crichton, David Milch, Gale Anne Hurd, Philip Pullman ... all geniuses.
Bettie Page, Tricia Helfer (Six!), Traylor Howard (Monk), and Naomi Watts ... well, I am a guy, geez.

Music:

Patrick's "Whining Celtic Chicks." Don't bitch at me, that's what my staff call them.

Movies:

Just about everything, but I am, of course, partial to the genre ones.

Television:

Sure. Deadwood (CS), Entourage, Rome, Stargate SG-1 (SciFi Channel canceling bastards) and Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica (Six!), Monk, Psych, CSI, 24, Lost, Eureka, Veronica Mars, Penn & Teller's Bullshit, Big Love, Sopranos, Coupling, Heroes, assorted History Channel shows ... and a bunch of shows the networks canceled.
And high hopes for ... The Dresden Files

Books:

Science fiction, fantasy, mystery, horror ... stop me when this sounds familiar ...

Heroes:

Anyone who does what needs to be done ... who goes out of their way to help another ... who sacrifices for others, or because it's right.
An example: Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain ... if you don't know who he is, Google him or you can't be my friend.
I'll take Obscure Civil War Heroes for $2000, Alex.

Moving

I'm moving in a week. Temporary digs for a couple/three months then an actual house. Knew I'd have to move someday, but I've come to an obvious conclusion: Moving sucks. More than 100 boxes, mostly ...

The Hobbit without Peter Jackson

Just read in Entertainment Weekly that New Line Cinema "would no longer be requiring [Jackson/Walsh's] services" in regards to THE HOBBIT. Apparently, Jackson's suing them over their reluctance to sha...

Mondays

Mondays. Hate them. Always have. Monday should be a four-letter word ... 'Mndy.' There's never enough time to get things done, and there's always someone adding to the must-be-done-now list. Okay, so ...

Sleepless in San Diego

Ever notice that no matter how hard you work, you never seem to catch up? What's up with that? I need a nap.
