  • Guilty Pleasures: Collecting comic books, comic book movies. (I feel compelled to see even the most awful ones if I read the comic as a kid. ...I'm talking about you, Green Lantern and Fantastic Four)
  • Favorite TV Shows: "Lost" is currently the best show I have ever seen, "Falling Skies" is currently what I look forward to every week.
