There's really not much to tell. Having been spawned from a puddle of primordial goo through an act of sheer willpower sometime back in the early 80s, I have resided in Canada for the past twenty-odd years slowly attempting to educate myself and gather resources for the day that I may emerge from the sewers and seize power from the bipedal primates inhabiting the overworld.

[Yes. That was the best I could come up with on short notice.]

Alright, all delusions of grandeur aside, I'm generally a pretty simple human being. Expect for those occasional times when I spontaneously become incredibly complex for absolutely no rational reason whatsoever.

The same thing I do every karmic iteration: Try to take over the world.

Surprisingly little these days; stumbled a seven-year trek through the hallowed halls of the ivory tower intellectuals. Which was educational and informative and fun and all that jazz, but I'd like to see the world now.

So when I'm not beaming streams of information and media into my cerebral cortex, I'm usually at the pool vainly attempting to whip myself into a physical state conducive to backbacking 'round the planet.

In short, the same thing I've been doing my whole life: Try to find my place in the world and be happy.

My loyal legion of biomechanically engineered minions. Next question.

I don't read much fiction, save for a healthy supply of HP Lovecraft, August Derleth and their little circle of writers. My shelves are typically stocked with more tomes on world mythology and ancient/modern history than you can shake a stick at. Add to that a healthy sprinkling of scientific texts, a jot of Shakespeare, a pinch of Homer, and a dash of Arabian Nights. And, since I'm working on leaning some new languages, there's an entire half-shelf dedicated to pocket phrasebooks.

As far as television goes, I'd be a damn liar if I didn't admit my love for Star Trek: The Next Generation. Other favorites include the early seasons of The X-Files, The Outer Limits, Quantum Leap, The Pretender, MacGyver and Due South.

Top comedies include Fraiser, The Colbert Report, The Daily Show, and 3rd Rock from the Sun.

Various others include Mythbusters and Penn and Teller's Bullshit!

Favorite movies include, but are certainly not limited to:
Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Alien/Aliens, and this list could conceivably carry on for a very, *very* long time.

Music is life. I'll listen to damn near anything once. I may not listen to it again after that, but I'll at least listen to it once. From funk to metal to electronica to trip-hop, there aren't many genres that I don't have a piece of. Anything from Arch Enemy to Chemical Brothers to Grandmaster Flash and Zombie Girl and everything in between.

Food? I'm the human equivalent of a raccoon. I'll eat damn near anything.
I always enjoy trying new foods, even if I may conclude that I never wish to put that particular food item in my mouth ever again. At least I know for next time.

Oxygen, Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen, Calcium and Phosphorous.

Life, the universe, and anything FOR SCIENCE.

I'm also big on contemplating politics, religion, culture and mythologies; anything with a decidedly anthropological bend.

I also tend to contemplate and dissect social issues, feminism, civil rights, racial and gender inequity and that whole Pandora's Box of social problems.

When I'm not waxing philosophical or scientific, I'm usually trying to figure out what the fuck to do with my life.

Also, women. Naked women. With red hair. And freckles.... I'm sorry, what were we talking about, again?

I like cheese doodles.

You shouldn't. Not now. Not ever.
