| Introduction | I'm a bearded, bespectacled, fat, balding, middle-aged goof who loves all sorts of odd stuph, and suffers from chronic fatigue syndrome and diabetes. I have been [charitably] described as having a warped sense of humour, and do not generally suffer fools [let alone gladly]. Which is a good trick because I've been one on occasion... |
| Interests | Reading, movies, TV [particularly genre material: SF/fantasy, horror, mystery, espionage...]; watching hockey, basketball and Canadian football; ethnic cuisine. |
| Favorite movies | Far too many to even begin to list [I've seen over 10,000 movies]... |
