Currently: Battlestar Galactica (excellent), Dexter, Californicating, Doctor Who, Quality Doco's, The L Word, Stargate Atlantis, Big Love, & anything fresh & breaks ground..... & have a soft spot for 3's Company.. =]
Books
changes from week to week; Nabokov, King, Wilde, Bukowski, Burgess, Kerouac - basically profound works, rather than mainstream fiction - something about humanity... or the lack of it.
Slowly getting through many of the literary classics; & anything ever uttered by Borat....
Heroes
John Lennon, Orson Welles, Ed Wood, Stanley Kubrick, Oscar Wilde.... (though most of these guys were also arrogant) & the many who struggle but never make it... I beleive that many of our greatest artists have been overlooked...
- you take inspiration from anywhere if you look in the right way... Other artists...

About me: I'm a Writer...
...i don't try to fight it anymore...
I've written five novels and working on the sixth.
In Order:
Borders of Bordavia
A fantasy tale for children 8-12. Monsters, evil alien Queens, insect armies, heaps of action and a whole lot of fun. (with potential for a series). Think Junior Lord of the Rings.
The Rim Riders
A near future action tale for Young Adults, dark, sci-fi elements, pertinent to teens, sexy, violent.. what else could you ask for?
Rim Terminus
The continuing story. Not a sequel. Returning characters and some new ones. Criss crossing Timelines and Character journeys as it counts down to the Final moments of the Rim and the shocking conclusion...
R.I.P. Rest In Prime
Don't respect Your Elders...
My first novel for adults. A bleak prophetic vision. An aging population has placed a burden on the Young. Enough is Enough. Controversial. In the style of A Clockwork Orange.
Ode to Dead Young Friends
A Memoir on four friends of mine whose time came far too early - a dedication to Youth, but it's not all pretty.
Tru Luv Kills
Some people just shouldn't be together. When two teens fall in love, the outcome is murder.
I have also written many stories, screenplays and novellas.
2009 is all about securing an agent and continuing to find publications for my short stories. Also meeting new people and learning as much as I can. More on my writing and other goodies at www.geocities.com/anthonyjlangford/Home
I've spent many years working in Television, (still do) and I've written and directed numerous short films, some of which have played in International Film Festivals.
I love meeting new people and hearing their stories. I'd love to hear yours. What is a writer without stories?
Who I'd like to meet: Futurekind - 200 years from now... If we haven't totally stuffed ourselves up by then....
And You, naturally...

Just in time for the holidays: a Hubble Space Telescope picture postcard of hundreds of brilliant blue stars wreathed by warm, glowing clouds. The festive portrait is the most detailed view of the largest stellar nursery in our local galactic neighborhood.
The massive, young stellar grouping, called R136, is only a few million years old and resides in the 30 Doradus Nebula, a turbulent star-birth region in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way. There is no known star-forming region in our galaxy as large or as prolific as 30 Doradus.
Many of the diamond-like icy blue stars are among the most massive stars known. Several of them are over 100 times more massive than our Sun. These hefty stars are destined to pop off, like a string of firecrackers, as supernovas in a few million years.
The image, taken in ultraviolet, visible, and red light by Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3, spans about 100 light-years. The nebula is close enough to Earth that Hubble can resolve individual stars, giving astronomers important information about the stars' birth and evolution.
The image reveals a fantasy landscape of pillars, ridges, and valleys, as well as a dark region in the center that roughly looks like the outline of a holiday tree.
Please leave me a comment after listening...there is a spot at this site. Thanks for your support! Brian Johnpeer God Bless You! Your friend, Brian Johnpeer
Snowpeople humor :) Enjoy the Holidays Anthony...
