Interests

  • General

    I'm interested in Japanese swords, bigfoot, sasquatch, cryptozoology, kit-bashing, archery hunting, Games Workshop models, collecting way, way too many Godzilla figures (and yet, strangely, never having enough), writing fiction, the way the comics medium works as a storytelling vehicle, and why otherwise grown-up human beings become such geeks when they get around Star Wars.

  • Music

    Current playlist: X, Holly Beth Vincent (and the Italians), Talking Heads, Graham Parker and the Rumor, ABC, Stray Cats, The Ramones, Joe jackson, Rachel Sweet, and (of course) Elvis Costello.

  • Movies

    Movies I can watch over and over: the original King Kong, Zulu, Yojimbo, Sam Raimi's The Quick and the Dead, Lake Placid, Day the Earth Stood Still, The Road Warrior, Rear Window, Destroy All Monsters, Red Sun, Tremors, Master and Commander, the entire Thin Man series…

  • Television

    is your one true friend.

  • Books

    Almost finished with Patrick O'brian's Aubrey/Marutin series. Twenty and-a-half books, and I'll be sorry when I reach the end..
    Some of my other favorite authors are Stephen Hunter, H. P. Lovecraft, Ian Fleming, Arthur Conan Doyle, J. R. R. Tolkien, Ivan T. Sanderson, and Bertrand R. Brinley. Quite a mix, eh?

  • Heroes

    is a show I stopped watching after the second episode.

About me:

Whether you think it's funny or serious, you should read this (click here)

Pay no attention to me (and why would you?)
..
After the panel, one of my co-workers said to me, "When she was touching you, you got so flustered you could barely speak." To that I say, "ACTING!" [/Jon_Lovitz voice]

xray

I'm a fifty-something comics editor/writer with a soft spot for struggling writers and artists (provided they actually are striving, and not just whining), would-be superheroes, and strippers.

One thing you should know about me: I'm not a "friend" whore -- I don't care about upping my friend tally. So don't bother "friending" me if your only objective is to promote your band, or your comic, or your book, or whatever. There should be some common ground between us -- an area of shared interest and/or respect. Barring that, you could try appealing to my prurient interests.

And if you're one of those people who think it's a good idea to post four or five bulletins in a single day, know that I will delete you from my friends list as soon as I become aware of it. Just sayin'. .. ..

Also, Dave Land says that us old guys are ruining myspace for everybody else just by being here, so that's a bonus...

Who I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet other comics professionals, aspiring writers and artists, comics fans, fans of Star Wars comics, Godzilla fans, swordsmiths, and women with whom I'd never have a chance.

Also, I'm in the market for a hideous, shambling henchman. Must answer to one-word name that contains two Os and one R (note: "Torgo" and "Goro" are already taken). Unsettling facial scars or frighteningly out-of-proportion thighs a plus.
