    \n
  1. What image is on your desktop? (include a screen capture if you can!)<\/strong> Maxfield Parrish’s Ecstasy<\/em><\/a>, on a navy blue background.\n
  2. Which websites do you visit most? (gimme links!)<\/strong>: Um … see the linklist in the sidebar. In addition to those sites, I frequently visit Google<\/a>, Snopes<\/a>, my wiki<\/a>, the support pages for MTBlacklist <\/a>and MTClient<\/a>, and (at work) the ever-popular Mail2Web<\/a>.<\/p>\n
  3. What are you obsessed by?<\/strong> Sorry, I don’t have enough storage space here to answer that question. And the list keeps changing. Though Margie and Katherine are both pretty constantly there.<\/p>\n
  4. Name one artist\/musician\/writer that inspires you (pick one or more)?<\/strong> That inspires <\/em>me? Hmmm. For artists, I’d probably have to name one of these folk<\/a>, but I’d hate to have to narrow it down. And that doesn’t count “comic book”\/graphic arts artists (Perez, Adams, Mignola, Miller). For musicians, it would likely be one of the classics — Beethoven, Bach, Vivaldi — or maybe one of the great movie music composers — Williams<\/a>, Barry<\/a>, Herrmann<\/a>, Shore<\/a>, Jarre<\/a>, etc.<\/p>\n
  5. What are you working on now (outside of your journal)?<\/strong> Trying to get things ready<\/a> for my game on Sunday<\/a>.<\/p>\n
  6. What do you read in bed?<\/strong> I don’t read as much in bed as I used to, largely because Margie usually crashes before I do. When I do, though, it’s usually comics I’m trying to finish up.<\/p>\n
  7. Favorite city? Why?<\/strong> I’m in love with Denver. I love the climate (all told), I love scenery, I love what I can do here. To visit, though, I’d have to say London: so much to see, so easy to get around, and lots of great pubs and Indian places.<\/p>\n
  8. To you, what qualifies as a good celebration?<\/strong> Good friends, lots of laughter, some nice wine, resolution that “we need to do this more often.” <\/p>\n
  9. If you only had 3 albums of music to take to a desert island, what would they be and why?<\/strong> Rrg. Bach’s Brandenberg Concertos<\/em><\/a>. Pet Shop Boys’ Actually<\/em><\/a>. Um … and an album of about 6Gb of MP3s …<\/p>\n
  10. If you could do anything else with your life, what would it be?<\/strong> As trite as it sounds, I’d like to travel a lot more. And write a lot more.<\/p>\n
  11. What keeps you awake at night?<\/strong> Things left undone that ought not to have been. #3 and #10 stuff. Time. Money. Work. All the usual jazz.<\/p>\n
  12. And finally, any famous last words?<\/strong> I sure hope so.<\/ol>\n
