About Me



I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

My Interests

Music:

My tastes are too eclectic to name...but some favorites are Pink Floyd, Prince, Jason Mraz, Barenaked Ladies, Ben Folds, Natalie Imbruglia, Queensryche, Frank Zappa, Sammy Davis Jr., Philip Glass, Blossom Dearie, Spike Jones, The Nylons, and most Broadway Showtunes!

Movies:

Harder to list than music, but to name a few: Amelie, Beastmaster, Benny & Joon, Better Off Dead, Breakfast Club, Clue, Creator, The Crow, Exit to Eden, Face/Off, George of the Jungle, History of the World Part 1, Home for the Holidays, Labyrinth, Ladyhawke, Legend, The Matrix (trilogy), Michael, Nightmare Before Christmas, Patch Adams, Phenomenon, Popeye (Robin Williams--singing!), Real Genius, The Ref, Rent, Secretary, South Park (the movie!), Star Wars (the ORIGINAL trilogy!!!), Strictly Ballroom, Threesome, Time Bandits, Undercover Blues, X-Men (trilogy), and Carrot Top Rocks Las Vegas (KIDDING!!!...but I do have the DVD)

Television:

TV mostly shows crap, but I do like Family Guy, South Park, Drawn Together, and the original Man Show (with Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla)--all of which proudly admit that they ARE crap!

Books:

I collect old copies of Alice in Wonderland (don't ask me why). A few other fav's: The Catcher in the Rye, The Stand, Frankenstein, The Phantom Tollbooth, anything by Roald Dahl; I buy lots of fantasy novels (+ some sci-fi), photography books, scripts, erotica, fairy tales, joke books, biographies (most often of theatre folk, aka show trash), and classic horror novels

Children's Story

Last Tuesday, as I was wandering through Washington Square Park, I came upon what was to me a remarkable scene: I heard an odd, alternating set of croaking shrieks.  I looked over to the source o...
