Movies
Any scifi. Anything with vincent price in it, and of course I like Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, and David Cronenberg.
Television
Television is the opiate of the masses.
Books
I collect scifi paperback novels. I have over 300 of them. I particularily like trade paperbacks, because of their rarity, larger size, and artwork.
About me: As we walked along the flatblock marina, i was calm on the outside but thinking all the time. So it was to be Georgie the general saying what we should do and what not to do and Dim as his mindless grinning bulldog. But suddenly I viddied that thinking was for the gloopy ones and the oomny ones used like inspiration and what Bog sends. Well now, it was lovely music that came to my aid. There was a window open with the stereo on and I viddied right at once what to do...... BR>
Who I'd like to meet: Everyone who thinks that living on the moon is a viable option.
Thanks, friend. We are all one with creation. With unity of mind through this knowledge comes great strength. Unity, Stength, Peace, www. thahoketoteh. ws
Love the music. Great spending time with you yesterday. Who ever thought we'd end up running into each other via facebook, 27 yrs after last seeing each other
