I write computer software as a side job that I hope to make a full-time job. Probably makes me weird. I also enjoy going to the lake and camping with my friends, shooting up paper targets or coke cans with my rifles, and I really enjoy computer games too. Nothing to get the stress out like a game of Halo 2, F.E.A.R., or Civ 4. I also like a very limited selection of music (christian hard rock and metal. Some of it's quite good. FRMail me if you want a list) and I enjoy a very limited selection of television (mostly Battlestar Galactica), all of which I download from iTunes. I'm also an avid reader of science fiction.
Lately I have been enjoying, of all the unexpected things, TV on DVD. There are many shows I never bothered watching, for years. Now that they are on DVD and can be played on my laptop, I find them fun to watch as I'm winding down for the night. Netflix is great, wish I'd bought stock.
I found Joss Whedon's "Firefly" dropdead wonderful, so I went and found the JW vampire shows, and--you know--they're pretty good story-telling. I guess fantasy is to my taste, from the LOTR on. I'm finishing up "Lost" and it's also amazing--who would have thought that movies would droop and die and TV would get so good?
I also garden, clear brush for exercise, paint and play an instrument.
You up for a challenge?
Find the bottomless tree in Halo 1
It does exist, you can walk under it and look up to see all the limbs coming out to the sides.
