    Susan Calvin's Interests
General

While I'm game to try just about anything, I really like:

  • writing
  • reading
  • astronomy
  • aeronautics
  • baking
  • going to movies
  • watching television
  • chocolate (esoterically!)
  • camping
  • RVing
  • binge eating
Music

This is always a hard question because the answer is always different. Music for me is a tool, a moodsetter. Consider:

  • writing: mellow rock, classical or new age piano
  • romance: soft rock or old school soul
  • cruising or working on the computer: classic rock
  • cranking up my mood or getting ready to speak in public: old school punk or funk
  • cleaning house: metal or (God help me) disco

See what I mean? These are just examples. Name me a tune and I've got a mood or purpose that goes with it.

Movies

I have so many movies I love, I don't think I can list them all here. The idea for this spot is to give you an idea of what I'm like then. Okay, are you ready then? Here are some of the movies I've loved, in no particular order or genre organization:

  • the original Star Wars trilogy
  • Sleepless in Seattle
  • There's Something About Mary
  • Serenity
  • An American in Paris
  • Romancing the Stone
  • On a Clear Day You Can See Forever
  • Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
  • Groundhog Day
  • Ladyhawke
  • The Wedding Date
  • What's Up Doc?
  • Serendipity
  • Simply Irresistible
  • When Harry Met Sally
  • Kull the Conqueror (Kevin Sorbo, yum!)
  • Joe vs. the Volcano
  • Breakfast at Tiffany's
  • Batman Begins (The ultimate romantic hero!)
  • Spiderman
  • Krull
  • Daredevil
  • A Knight's Tale (I love Alan Tudyk!)
  • Evil Dead III: Army of Darkness
  • Monty Python and the Holy Grail
  • You asked for it. These are just a few that spring to mind when I think of movies. I might put more here as I think of them.

    What can I not stand? Anything belonging to the "gross-out comedy" genre like the American Pie series. They're like train wrecks. Gah!

    Television

    There isn't much television I actually like. Good characters, good stories. I'm sick and tired of the same old sitcoms that use the same old jokes. About the only things I watch religiously any more are:

  • Star Trek (the original one William Shatner in the '60s was hot!)
  • Monk
  • Battlestar Galactica (that would be the new one)
  • Doctor Who
  • Criminal Minds
  • Good Eats
  • And I've just started watching the gardening shows on HGTV. I'll let you know if I get caught by one.

    BooksPut it in front of me. I'll read it. I've been spending a lot of time in research reading lately, too. One I'm finding interesting is A Clone of Your Own. Check it out when you have time.
    Heroes

    Romantic heroes? How about Kevin Sorbo in Kull? No? Okay, give Nathan Fillion from Serenity a try. And I still have a totally weak spot for Harrison Ford in, well, darn near anything. And Pierce Brosnan from his Remington Steele days. Wow. Okay enough. It's getting warm in here.

       Susan Calvin's Blurbs
    About me:

    Hi! I'm Susan Calvin, and I'm a writer from ... well, all over. My father was in the US Army for 32 years, and so I'm pretty much from everywhere. I write science fiction and romance, both with a bit of a westerny feel. If you want to get the idea, watch a few episodes of Firefly. I would love to have been a writer for that show.

    My idea of a good time? Well, I'm afraid I'm a bit of a homebody. I like reading (big surprise), and I like watching good TV. Bad TV too, if it's fun. I write a lot, and I enjoy playing board games with my sweetie and my friends. The perfect date? What else? "Dinner and a movie, Mr. Steele."

    While I like camping and backpacking, I don't get a chance to do it much, and backyard astronomy was great fun, but the tools are expensive and once you get past a certain age, the body rebels at being out in the heat or the cold after dark. Magazines and the internet are my skies now.

    I live with my sweetie and my aging puppy. During the day, I'm a computer geek, and by night, I'm hard at work on my first novel, a space western romance entitled A Girl of Extraordinary Breeding. I've got a short story making the rounds entitled "Schroedinger's Woman." We'll see how well people like it.


    I got these cool effects on my profile using Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6!
