Well, just put me down for a rennaisance man wannabe. I dabble in everything. I live for a sigh, I die for a kiss, I lust for a laugh...Bah! You know the rest.

Movies
As a former BlockBuster employee who could and did rent everything for free, I have too many movies that I liked to mention here. I can give some highlights.
The only romance you ever need watch: The Princess Bride
The only man who deserves to be an Action Hero (No, I am not talking Swarzenegger): Jackie Chan
Recomendations: Drunken Master (for him in his prime), Laughing Hyena (for comedy), and Rumble in the Brox (for the fighting of course).
The only man who's ego is bigger than his personality: Bruce Cambell
Recomendations: Brisco County Jr. (It was a shame the series got canceled before he met his twin), Army of Darkness, and Spiderman 1-?? (It does not matter which, as Long as Sam Raimi is directing it, Bruce will be in it).
The only man with whom you want to be locked in an air-tight concrete bunker with nothing but a ball poin pen and a lighter to save you: Richard Dean Anderson (If McGyver can't do it, it does not need to be done).
The most underrated comedy: UHF
The most unique fantasy: Labyrinth
The most heartwarming animation: The Iron Giant
The best Musical Animation: Cats Don't Dance
The best Anime character: GTO
The best movie with Pirates (If you guess Pirates of Penzance, Leave my MySpace, now): The Pirates of the Caribbean
The best space epic: Red Dwarf (Sorry Star Trek and Star Wars fans, it just wasn't in the cards. Lister is far better than Luke or 'Luc).
And Finally, the greatest movie about movies: The Wizard of Speed and Time
Television
"I must say I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on, I go to the library and read a good book."
-Groucho Marx
Books
Absolute must read:
Robert Asprin's Myth Series:
An awsome series by a great author. It has been out of print, but new books are being produced.
Glen Cook's Garrett P.I. Series.
An all time favorite of which I can't get enough. It is another series that is being revived.
Terry Prattchet's Disc World Series.
Another Series I hope never dies. I wish Terry a prosperous life, and may he continue write until his 111th birthday (right up there with Bilbo Baggins).
Other good books:
Douglas Adam's Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
If you are going to live life, why not read the guide?
Piers Anthony's Xanth Series.
Not as good as the two above, but not far behind.
Keith Laumer:
Almost anything by Keith is good. The man perfected the Science Fiction super hero.
Chirstopher Stasheff's Escape Velocity.
Feel Free to read the rest of the Warlock series, but this is by far the best.
Heroes
Heroes? Who needs heroes when you can be one. I just keep the big "S" around to tidy up the laundry and avert minor disasters, like comets the size of mars hurtling toward Earth, space aliens, and reversing time so I can meet major deadlines at work. That way I can save all the really important stuff for myself. After all, one of us has to make a living. I mean, what self respecting newspaper is going to keep a guy on the job who dissapears weeks on end without so much as a cell phone or pager and turns up later with some lame excuse?

While you are browsing for Entertainment, Check out Nanca † Crash!! My favorite game. You have to play it in full screen to appreciate it. You can get instructions here.
You get to play the lovable Taichi trying to get as far as you can, "boosted" by your friend Nanaca (Poor Taichi). Warning!! This is addictive!
Sudoku Original. Play Head games with the original Japanese wonder.
Sudoku is a logic based puzzle where all the columns, rows, and nine blocks of 3x3 squares must contain the numbers 1-9 without repetition. It is deceptively simple. See if you can master the art of Sudoku.
If you've never tried them, you have to play Hapland 1, 2, and 3. Preferably in that order. I still have not beat 3, yet.
