On top of my Movie of the Day hobby, I'm also an amateur actor. Most of my work is for the Brigit St. Brigit Theatre in Omaha, Nebraska. Currently, I'm in rehearsal for "Over the River and Through the Woods" at the Bellevue Little Theatre.

I'm also a puzzleholic, with a special fondness for logic problems, Kakuro, Slitherlink and Hanjie. I also play a fair amount of video games, with a love for RPGs, platform games, and puzzle games.

I also have a sizeable music collection, with quite a bit of music from the likes of Elvis Costello, Bob Dylan, Robyn Hitchcock, R.E.M., Warren Zevon, They Might Be Giants, Tom Waits, Graham Parker and others. I also have a fondness for box sets of any kind, and for sixties psychedelic music.

I usually have several books going at once, though I do have a primary book. Here is what I'm working my way through now.

1) The Age of Reason Begins - A history about the aftermath of the Reformation, It's part of the "Story of Civilization" series.

2) Unfinished Tales by J.R.R. Tolkien - Odds and ends of middle earth mythology

3) From These Ashes - Fredric Brown - A complete anthology of his short stories

4) From the Dust Returned - Ray Bradbury - A novel which, like MARTIAN CHRONICLES or DANDELION WINE, consists at least partially of related short stories.

5) The Rise of Industrial America - Page Smith - History of the United States in the post-reconstruction era.

6) Boris Karloff - Midnight Marquee's coverage of several of his movies.

7) Virtual Unrealities - Alfred Bester - A collection of short stories from one of my favorite writers.

8) The Mammoth Book of Comic Fantasy - Just what it says
