I read oodles of comic books. My current favorites being Civil War, X-Factor, Astonishing X-Men, Runaways, and Uncanny X-Men. My all-time favorites are Peter David's first run on X-Factor (70-89), Joe Kelly's X-Men (70-85) and Deadpool (1-33), the first 101 issues of X-Force, and every issue of Uncanny X-Men from 94-360, especially the "From The Ashes" period (168-176) by Chris Claremont and Paul Smith. The Book Books I like are Live from New York: An Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live, The Great Gatsby, 1984, Brave New World, Grendel, Harry Potter &; The Sorceror's Stone, The Areas of my Expertise by John Hodgman, Found (Davy Rothbart's collection of trash), and Mortified (Dave Nadelberg's collection of teenage angst). I also enjoy the plays The Glass Menagerie, Deathtrap and anything by Neil Simon, especially The Odd Couple.
Television, screen writing, improv comedy, anything involving multi-cam TV production, comic books, musicals, chocolate, making lame jokes, New York City, talking so much that my head hurts, buttons, excel spreadsheets, collecting things, vintage stuff, complaining, my iPod, my Mini Cooper, and all things English...
