Music
Billy Idol, Cirque du Soleil, Crash Test Dummies, Crowded House, Dead Can Dance, Enigma, Enya, Fabio Frizzi, Goblin, Jaco Pastorius, Jacqueline du Pre, Jane's Addiction, LIVE, The Misfits, The Monkees, Mozart, Queensryche, REM, Shakespear's Sister, The Smiths, Trip Shakespeare, U2...lots of bands and musicians too numerous to name
I like what sounds good ...I like what grooves ...I like to disappear in music ...I'm a sucker for ambient/New Age/world music, 80's goth rock (inspiration for the horror writer in me), jazz, classical, opera, anything and everything...Music provides the soundtrack of my life. Where people collect photographs, music keeps my memories.
Movies
My all-time favorite is Clive Barker's NIGHTBREED...I also enjoy: Amadeus, The Beyond, The Birdcage, Candyman, Cat in the Brain, The Crow, Dawn of the Dead, Dead Alive, Dead Poets Society, DellaMorte DellAmore, Demons, Ed Wood, Flatliners, Freaks, Fright Night, The Gate, Ginger Snaps, Good Will Hunting, Halloween, Hellraiser, Hilary and Jackie, House By the Cemetery, I Am Sam, In the Mouth of Madness, Interview with the Vampire, K-PAX, Little Man Tate, Lord of Illusions, The Lost Boys, The Luzhin Defence, Manhattan Baby, Night of the Creeps, Night of the Living Dead, Nightmare on Elm Street, Phenomena, Rain Man, Return of the Living Dead, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Safe, Seven Years in Tibet, Shine, Shock Treatment, Smoke Signals, Star Trek movies, Trauma, Zombie ...and lots and lots of horror films, anything atmospheric.....Most giallo films (BIG Fulci fan!)
Television
Beyond Reality, Carnivale, Cirque du Soleil's Fire Within, Frasier, Friday the 13th: The Series, Jeopardy, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Northern Exposure, Planet Earth, Star Trek TOS, Star Trek TNG, The X-Files
Books
anything Clive Barker (esp, Cabal and Imajica), anything by John Skipp and Craig Spector (the splatterpunks!), philosphical stuff like Krishnamurti, existentialists like Camus, Sci-Fi and horror, anything dark and surreal, Robert Heinlein, William Gibson, the atmospheric writings of Lovecraft, Shakespeare, small press horror authors (Charlee Jacob esp.) I salute you all and thank you for the inspiration, anything New Age I can get my hands on...Honestly, I have so many books that they don't all fit in our apartment.

Writer, musician, Magic the Gathering nerd, Mensan, starseed...I am a figment of your imagination. Just another spark of light in the universe...I see too much of reality without a filter. I see humans as illogical and prone to idiocy.

Hi there Steph!
Gosh, I'm only getting used to Myspace....it seems like I need to accumulate lots of friends! lol
Anyway, guess what? I've decided to play Bass!! Do you (or anyone else reading this) have any advice for me? e.g. what's the best type to buy, speakers, etc, etc,? It looks like Fender seems to be popular... :-)
ok, hope all is well with you - hopefully I can make it back to Scranton in the near future.
