I grew up in SE Missouri, place called Cape Girardeau (hometown of Rush Limbaugh) - Now I live in the city where Fred Phelps hails from -- hmmm...
The price of being a burgeoning demigod - you have to let the pretenders have their time in the sun.
I work in film production, I write, and I've been a temp whore - been working the block for about a decade, now. Now I work for the KS History Center as a higher class of whore...
I started as an assistant cameraman and now I primarily work as a script supervisor/continuity person on low budget shorts and features.
My last "real job" was working in a law firm in the San Francisco Financial District well over ten years ago - which made headlines by having some of its employees killed by a gunman. I had been booted 5 months earlier and was working on my second film job as a freelancer when I heard the news.
I've never worried about getting a job in the 'real' world since then...
My main musical interest is film scores. I used to write for a publication about that, FILM SCORE MONTHLY. I currently write for the film magazine MICRO-FILM, and have a regular column there.
I do enjoy a wide range of literature and music, almost too numerous to list (though I might do so at some point). I'm middle-aged, single, occasionally grumpy and that's probably not going to change anytime soon.
O.K. - that's the basics. Anything else, you can ask me directly, or just pay close attention to clues in the work.
