About Me

My goal in life is to drive one of those mini cars in a Shriners' parade. And, yes, I will wear a Fez....that and I've been told I have an "evil woman" laugh..... In my spare time I do the webcomic, The Shrews and try to invoke long forgotten gods. Honestly, I don't like taking things seriously even though I tend to slip in that role. (I have a mean political streak.) I'd rather have fun and be a goof. A big, sci-fi loving, manga reading, Chucks wearing, Yan-yan eating, off key singing in the car, punk rocker goof. And when I have a cold I sound like Tom Waits;
