I like to think it's because I enjoy bringing out the best in other people and because I don't take much (including myself) overly seriously.

But this one indigent person at the Downtown Berkeley BART station said it was because of my booty, so I'll just go with that. It's my booty.

Pretty women

British actors wearing white dress shirts. I think this is a well-established part of my twitter persona.

I don't know...maybe gorillas?

Well at least you still have a, e, i, o and sometimes y. That's definitely an interesting challenge you'll have to overcome, though! I believe in you, buddy. You can do it!

Yes, in fact, I am. How do people keep spotting me? I don't get it...

American comics are for me even though all the animation is done overseas. I just don't like "most" of the manga styles I've seen. I prefer the European be-de over Japanese manga/anime. The ones I do like that are not typically "American" in style would be Disney's W.I.T.C.H. (Italian, I think), Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and Yu-Gi-Oh but I normally can't stand anything manga/anime. I also find the cosplay "kids" at cons tend to be off-the-chart obnoxious because they're ramped up on sugar and adrenaline and away from their parents. Maybe I'm just old but get me with a group of spandex clad Avengers for some whiskey drinking and I'm in a happy place. As for the comics, I stick with some traditional reading: IDW, DC, Marvel, Image, Dynamite and small press publishers. Since it's the industry I'm in, networking with people already experienced has introduced me to a huge world of indie comics; they're not usually superhero genre and are still American comics.

Dude, I'm a blogger. This is not a game you want to play.

I am a terrible, terrible cook, as evidenced by the French toast I just made -- it managed to be soggy AND set off my smoke alarm. But people do enjoy my baking, so I'll go with that instead. I love making the brownies that my dad loves, for instance, and I love making cookies for large groups, especially snickerdoodles and chocolate chip.
