About Me

"The only normal people are the ones you don't know very well!" Joe Ancis

My Interests

Since I don't see anywhere else to put this, I will now list my favorite websites... neilgaiman.com, cockeyed.com, waiterrant.net, gofugyourself.typepad.com, cuteoverload.com, obscurestore.typepad.com, antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html, community.livejournal.com/library_mofo/, and, sadly, the list could go on.

I'd like to meet:

Creature Peepers

Music:

Recent concerts: NIN, Tori Amos (w/opening act The Like), Depeche Mode. In Car: rarely in car now. Recent missed concerts: name it, 'cause we're on an island in the middle of the ocean

Movies:

How can I pick just one? I like all types -- Science Fiction, Literature Adaptations, Documentaries, "Children's" (like The Incredibles), Foreign (especially German), Comedy, Musicals, Action

Television:

I will confess here a weakness for reality TV, HBO shows, and documentaries. And the Gilmore Girls.

Books:

All time favorites books: Handmaid's Tale & Shore of Women. (Yes, I like distopian fiction) All time favorite authors: Robert Heinlein, Neil Gaiman, George R. R. Martin, Frederik Pohl, Margaret Atwood, Pamela Sargent, Ursula Le Guin

Heroes:

Carl and all other honest people

time change

I mostly love living here in the Azores.  Sure, it is sometimes annoying not to be able to find the things you want to purchase (slippers? cilantro? a comfy computer chair?) and I don't have a jo...

Taking it easy

Note: this post DOES contain some different information than my family email or vox blog. It's been awhile since I posted anything.  Island life has been slow. We have not been to any more festi...
