STREAM of CONSCIOUSNESS 
 
Responsibility:   Why doesn't somebody ...  oh, wait, that's supposed to be me.
 
Perseverence:  I am the slowest 5K runner who actually showed up, but I showed up!
 
 
Books I really enjoyed:
 
Science Fiction
  • Dune Series, obviously
  • Ender's Game Series 
  • Cross-Time Engineer Series
  • Lucifer's Hammer
  • A Fire Upon the Deep/A Deepness in the Sky
  • Eon/Eternity
  • The Anne McCaffrey Pern Series
  • The Mercedes Lackey Valdemar Series
  • Elizabeth Moon's Deed of Paksennarion
  • Julian May's Surveillance/Metaconcert/Pliocene Exile
  • Firestar, but the sequels were sloooooow

Children's Books
  • Homecoming/Dicey's Song
  • The Narnia Chronicles
  • Harry Potter Series, of course
  • The Once and Future King

Mystery Authors worth reading even though they often don't write about spaceships
  • Elizabeth George
  • Patricia Cornwell
  • Dean Koontz

SciFi Shows I Have Obsessed Over:

  • Doctor Who -- Tom Baker, then John Pertwee, of course.  Favor classic Who over new series, but still watch.
  • Blake's 7--loved it, and by total coincidence I have cousins named "Blake" and "Jenna".
  • Babylon 5, especially once Delenn got hair
Others I didn't quite obsess over, but really liked:
  • Loved the Incredible Hulk, Buck Rogers in 25th Century, both bionic people (and dog)
  • Eventually warmed up to the Battlestar Galactica remake
  • Serenity (duh)
  • Will watch (and likely have already seen) almost any silly sci-fi movie that's on except for true horror flicks--not wild about zombies or vampires or other miscellaneous undead categories
