Majiken

Father, writer, boardgame collector. I live where the air is thin and can drink you lowlanders under the table any time. I do freelance writing for several game companies, and have self-published my own novels.

I have a modest collection of DVDs, and thanks to a connection at Blockbuster, usually end up with movies I know I won't watch, so I try to trade them.

Not much more to add than that.

I'm here to trade games and game-related items like dice or unusual pieces. Since I don't collect anything else other than Coke Rewards points, that's about it. I always have extra DVDs, CDs, and books lying around, so that's a possibility. Oh, and chocolate, gotta have the chocolate...

Classical composers mostly. I will listen to Antonin Dvorak any time I can. For radio and fun, country music is the best. No violence, no explicit lyrics, it's what kids today SHOULD be listening to.

Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Adventure. I love Clive Cussler's works, but lately have been hooked on Jim Butcher's "Dresden Files" series. Way better than the tv show. Halfway through the ninth book now, and depressed because the 10th hasn't been written yet. Oh well, maybe I'll start his fantasy series next.

I watch documentaries on the History Channel, Battlestar Galactica on Sci-Fi, Bizarre Foods on the Food Network, and a whole slew of other cable shows. Some sitcoms are good, but these days I just don't have time for them or silly dramas like Gray's Anatomy or Desperate Housewives. Those are mostly teary-eyed drivel. I will admit though, to being a faithful viewer of LOST.

It takes a lot for a movie to impress me. My two favorites are, "The Majestic," and "Secondhand Lions." I love a good action film, and occasionally my wife talks me into a chick flick. Yes, I enjoyed, "The Lake House." The Bourne series is one of my favorites, despite being radically different from the books. If you want a nice 'feel good' movie, I recommend, "Conversations with God."

I write, and I design boardgames. Otherwise I lack the skills to be crafty at anything.
