Introduction I wonder if Ellison didn't get it right in "Deathbird." Even so, if it turns out that the Fundamentalists are right, I'm signing on with The Adversary.
Interests Books. Television. Movies. My Children. My Parents. Screw the rest.
Favorite Movies Young Frankenstein, When Harry Met Sally, And Justice for All, The Big Chill, Mallrats, Clerks, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Gaslight, The Jerk, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, The Spanish Prisoner, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Jaws, Excalibur, (though I'm sure that a youthful sensawunda colored my first viewing experience)
Favorite Music Anything that qualifies as "pedestrian" or "likely to be heard in a gay disco."

Thompson, The works of Alice Sheldon and Dorothy Parker, Carl Hiassen and Max Allan Collins' mystery stuff, Mike Carey, Dale Bailey, Michaela Roessner, The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-time
