Okay, since I'm one of the new guys on the block (thanks to Tiem Nguyen's 
encouragement to join this ML), here's some trashcan/recycling bin/shredder 
fodder...er...I mean my bio!


Real Name:  Peter L. Ward
AKA: Kyusaku on IRC #anime! (usually on between 10:30PM - 1:00 AM PST)

Description (so one can avoid in real life):
        Race: Half-Thai, half-Caucasian
        Place of Birth: Santa Clara, CA, USA
        Current residence: San Jose, CA, USA
        Age: 26 (2/17/69)
        Height: 6'
        Weight: around 160-165lbs
        Eyes: brown, with glasses
        Hair: black, short on top and sides, shoulder-length in back

Hobbies/Interests/Tastes (or lack of)

Books: typically sf such as Gibson, Effinger, Douglas Adams, Robert Aspirin. 
          also have been known to read books on computer graphics, chaos theory 
      (as if it ever got through my thick skull), and such.

Movies (non-anime): Star Wars trilogy, Star Trek, Ladyhawke, Buckaroo 
Banzai,         Alien/Aliens, Roger Rabbit, Schindler's List (yeah, a movie 
with at       
      least *some* redeeming value amongst all these others), Gremlins/Gremlins 
      2, and several others.  Haven't been keeping up with current releases 
      though...not much time on my hands between projects and work.

Anime (current): El Hazard, AMG, Ranma 1/2, VGAi, Tenchi Muyo, Macross+, Dragon 
        Half, Nuku Nuku, Armitage III, Moldiver

Anime (classics): Yamato (how I got my start!), Gatchaman, Dirty Pair, Macross,
        A-ko, Wings of Honneamise, Gunbuster, Gundam, Lupin III, BGC

Music: depends on mood, but avoids stuff like country, muzak, and other 
        abominations like the plague.



Current projects

        RPGs: Running a TFOS (possibly Sihoulette-A rules soon) campaign called
                SBX-777 Heavenly Express (a AMG/Ranma 1/2 crossover)

        Fanfics: Aa! Megami-sensei! (just completed episode 3 of 26), a prequel
                to Heavenly Express, which itself may be a fanfic series

        Sketches/Character designs for both of the above projects        

        WWW: The Urd Shrine (see sig for the URL)

        Painting Boomer and Knight Saber minis

        Going back to school at De Anza College in Cupertino next quarter


Future projects:

        Fanfics: a possible Heavenly Express fanfic, as well as a Aa! 
        Megami-sensei! II, further down the road if AMSensei proves to be
        popular enough.
