Me? Not much else besides blasting on local, national and world news- hence more time spent here. I also like music of different styles and watching old tv reruns.
Your turn.
Facebook,I'm drowning in Alien news there lol.Lotsa gaming especially mobile mmo's and a healthy dosage of heavy metal!!!
Nothing the God of biomechanics wouldn't let you in heaven for
Facebook, guitarplaying, inspiering my oldest daughter in her just found interest in alien covenant, building alien models... and a as nin, a healthy dosage of heavy metal!!!

In regards to the ALIENverse and my own Original works:
Writing, editing, more writing and editing. :) Jotting down ideas to use in the future, working out backstories for characters, and messing with some short stories. Research technology to use in my stories to lend better 'solidity', pester hubby with tech-questions, try to keep my notepads and books from being absconded with by any of 9 cats who love to 'help'.
IN SPACE THERE IS NO WARNING
Does anyone ever do what the guy in Office Space did?- I did nothing. Absolutely nothing. And it was everything I hoped it could be!
Parkerparrot Do you play acoustic or electric? What kind of gear?
me,I like speed, solo racing (fast cars). but also I'm into comics DC/Marvel and love star wars stuff. I'm fascinated with the Toyota business structure and read a lot a books regarding it. I live near the Appalachians and go hiking, biking, or driving the twisties. I'm a middle aged Nerd. :-/
Shasta cyclone I never got into comics but I am surprised at the interest of Marvel/DC Comics in all matter among peers and we are middle aged. One even goes all out to ComicCom I believe it is called- all out! I don't get it but he doesn't get my Alien obsession either so I guess it is even. We get stuff done on the job!
Blackwinter-witch So can it be said that your work is the same as your fun? If so, that is an enviable place to be.
@dk
I play mostly my Fender strat (Blackmore edition) and my custommade handbuilt dreadnought accoustic. I'd say about 90 % electric. I have a seventies Marshall 50 watt top with a 2/12 cabinet. (I sold my Marshallwall years ago...) Right now I am waiting for a powerbreak that a friend of mine is custombuilding. When I get that one I can really crank the amp up to eleven, lol!!
"Bees have hives, man"
@Parkerparrot Glad to see a fellow axe head on here. Nowadays I'm playing mostly my Martin HD28 and my Taylor T5z. Write music on both of those almost all day long, and when I'm not on those I'm on my Roland Digital Piano and my Hammond B3 Clone.
@dk DON'T WATCH THE NEWS MAN!
@Blackwinter we have 7 rescued cats as well, used to have 10, but thankfully my daughter moved out and took 3 of them with her, lol! Of course they're all our kids!
@dk it's also fun going through all the youtube "theory" videos as they come out from people like "Alien theorist" "hybrid network" "nic hostetter (?sp)" and the like...
At home: exercising and video games (high priorities), reading comics, writing, painting, watching films (lesser priorities. But still priorities)
When travelling at work: exercising, exploring or chilling depending on the destination, weather, and my energy level (jetlag can be a SOB)
Besides running the Scified network, I'm usually at the gym. I practically live there when I'm not on here, or managing emails or working on improving site code. But this site and the others on this network keep me fairly busy I don't have time for much else haha
Predator: Badlands - coming November 7th, 2025
Me, besides patrolling and managing the forum sections, I watch movies, draw, paint,make posters, write stories and screenplays out of boredom,collect soda cans as a hobby, make powerpoint presentations for other people and I sometimes play videogames (I mostly play Tekken tag tournament 2 on ps3), I don't play online games.

I do a lot of reading (big fan of old literature, primarily 18th and 19th century stuff). Definitely keeps the mind occupied when not thinking about Alien haha. I also write, run, hike, and play video games (mostly COD, if I must say).
What's the story, MUTHUR?
I've recently finished reading The Bible and now am re-reading the Qur'an.
As an Agnostic (possibly Agnostinc Theist), I feel it important to fully understand what I don't believe in.
Far too many use the Atheist/Agnostic tag but can not, when discussing that choice, maintain a meaningful conversation about it. I prefer to be informed in my choices and decisions.
At the moment I am fully invested in the invisible pink unicorn that lives on the dark side of the moon, as my lord and savior lol
I read a lot. Just finished Paradise Lost and now nearly finished with Zahn's new Star Wars novel, Thrawn.
I also play a lot of DooM (classic and associated wads), especially if I've had an annoying day.
Then there's my ongoing study of Ridley Scott's SF films. Been writing a little piece on the theme of The Creation of and Extension of Life, which runs pretty heavily throughout all of them. I might share it here if I like it enough.
Sometimes I go for a walk in my neighborhood, but since it's been rather cold and rainy on my days off I haven't had many chances to do so.
