I'm a movie enthusiast: I love fantasy, sci-fi, and good horror (no slasher junk).

I'm a PC gamer - I've logged way too many hours playing: Skyrim, Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher, Far Cry, Assassin's Creed, Elden Ring, Hogwarts Legacy, Kingdoms of Amalur, Horizon Zero Dawn, Bloons, ...

I also have an eclectic taste in music, from New Age (my collection includes everything by David Arkenstone, Ray Lynch, Enya and Loreena McKennitt); Pop/Rock with selections from Journey, Peter Gabriel, Green Day, Alanis Morissette, The Wallflowers, Fleetwood Mac, Shania Twain, Faith Hill, Blondie, Kelly Clarkson, Pink, Rihanna, No Doubt, Creed, Nickelback, Maroon5, Hoobastank . . . and of course, let's not forget my Techno collection from Erasure, Yaz, Depeche Mode, Eiffel 65, etc. And finally, to really round things out, I adore Classical, Orchestral, and Choral soundtracks from composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, James Horner, John Williams, Hans Zimmer,  Ennio Morricone, and Danny Elfman.
