Comedy. Movies. Writing both. Hi-concept ANYTHING. Sketch comedy. Stand-up. Improv (1/5 of the time I see it). Karaoke. I collect movie posters and foreign movie posters. I have a Chzeckoslavakian 'Chinatown' poster that is my pride and joy. Hiking, running, working out. Telling people about strange things I've heard about on the internet or things I've made up. My friends, I look out for them. Very protective like a mother bear. Bear bear, not gay hairy fat gay bear. Although there has been confusion. SCI-FI. Speculative ficition. The paranormal. Unsolved Mysteries. Charlie Kaufman. The photographer Sharon Lockheart. Daren Morgan. Marhsall McCluhan. Finding cool books, off the beaten track...what some may call "cult novels."
