Hometown:

Kalamazoo, MI

About Me:

I'm currently living in Michigan, grew up in North Canton, OH. I'm a voracious reader-I usually have book or a magazine nearby. Not working at the moment, enjoying my last months of freedom before I start nursing school and a real grown up life. Or at least that's what they tell me I'll be doing, I'm not sure they know me very well.

I Am A:

Reader

Books And Authors I Like:

Really far too many to mention them all. I've managed to re-read The Stand and It by Stephen King more times than I can count and A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L'Engle. Started out with Alfred Hitchcock and The Three Investigators-loved the Mystery of the Moaning Cave!

Movies And TV Shows I Like:

As far as movies go, I wouldn't even know where to begin. I can tell you what I don't like-romance, the current gorefest horror films and period movies. Otherwise, I'm pretty open-scifi, horror (even cheesy B horror), thriller, mystery, some drama, comedy. I did grow up in the Star Wars era so the original three are big favorites, along with A Christmas Story and Christopher Guest films.

I've pretty much given up on standard network television, although I do watch Survivor, Deal or No Deal, and occasionally Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?. I also regularly watch Dirty Jobs, Mythbusters, MASH (on TVLand), Rome, Deadwood, The Sopranos, A&E, History's Mysteries, and re-runs of Star Trek:TNG.

At 2:16am on October 26, 2007, Matthew Marquis said…: I will check out your recommendation. It's really hard writing to a specific audience for me because I'm very "out there" with my writing. Folks find it generally hysterical, and I think it will work best of all as a collection. Where do you market a story based upon feet or tongue swallowing?

It's a mystery and perhaps a crime as to my being a humorist but I have met Garrison Keillor and made him laugh. He had a heroin needle in his arm at the time, so maybe that had something to do with it. I like to think not.

Greetings from Connemara! Always good to meet someone with the same addiction. Can't pass a bookstore without being lured inside where I lose all sense of time. Now if bookstores served good red wine ... ah!

Slan, Pat.

Such an excellent movie. I highly recommend it.

I've missed you! Hope that you've been well. What's on tap, movie-wise?

I'm trying an experiment and trying to rely on my local library for DVDs. On hold for me right now are EL MARIACHI, RAISING VICTOR VARGAS, REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE, and CIDER HOUSE RULES (that one is for research).

I thought I'd check this place out too! Looks pretty cool so far.

I'll be in touch properly soon, either here or the BTZ!!

(Left out the "a" ...) So sorry, hope to hear from you soon.
