Favorite LEGO toys/themes: Ninja, ninja, ninja. And castle. But mostly ninja.

My fascination with LEGO began... When I was 2 or 3. My parents gave me Lego (Duplo) and said "Play with this. You'll like it." So I stuck it in my mouth and was hooked.

I once built... I had a European building spree a number of years ago. I had the good fortune to visit a number of famous places personally, and so was able to get an excellent sense of scale and composition. Among the things I built were minifig-superdeformed-scale versions of: York Cathedral , Westminster Abbey, both with flying buttresses, stained glass, etc. -The Coliseum in Rome, both in ruined and restored versions -A number of castles -Various historical Chinese buildings -An adolescent spree: a 10-foot lego tower, promptly destoyed by my mother and her vacuum cleaner. -2 different galley ships w/ sails and rigging, a few years befor the Pirate stuff came out. i once affixed lego wheels to the bottom of one and watched it scoot about the back porch on a windy day. -A small west european medieval village

Someday I will build... Currently at work on a feudal japanese fishing town. Landscape size is 6x4.5 baseplates (i.e., roughly the same number of feet). Will include the full gamut of basic buildings and services, including lighting for most buildings. Currently have atunnel hideout in one of the hills, incomplete fortifications, rough layout of streets and river/canal system, and prototype buildings.

LEGO is great because... It fosters problem-solving skills, conceptualisation of 3-D spaces and objects, and allows one to create worlds of your own in an infinite number of variations.

LEGO fans are great because... They are often bright, imaginative, and fun to share your excitement about Lego with.

My favorite Foods: Thai, Red Bull, Gewurtzraminer wine, dark chocolate

My favorite Movies & TV: old Twilight Zone, Stanley Kubrick films, old Sci-Fi

My favorite Artists: Mark Ryden, Shag, Lucian Freud

My favorite Music: Most forms of electronica/experimental music, with a soft spot for hard house.

My favorite Pets & Animals: Psychotic cannibalistic fish


Words which best describe me: Obsessed.


If I were super-human... I'd change every instance of the word "Lord" or "God" in every Bible in the world to "Elvis".
