Here I am.

I'm Gilda. I love old movies, comic books, and of course spend much of my time reading the internet.

I'm a middle school teacher in a small rural school district, where I teach social studies and language arts.

I have, according to my comic tracking software, somewhere in the area of 6,000 comic books, all obsessively bagged, boarded, and organized by title and issue number. They've taken over on entire room of my house, which my SO is NOT happy with. I do actually read the comics, and am not so obsessed that I buy two, one to read and one to store. It's about the experience, not the trophy. Well, it's about the trophy, too, but it's mostly about the experience.

I listen primarily to soft rock music, but I'll sample country, mainstream rock, classical, and very rarely a little rap. I like a lot of the old stuff.

I read a variety of genres, but love poetry above all else. I'll read mainstream novels, and like Anne Tyler, Amy Tan, and John Irving above all others. My favorite book is To Kill a Mockingbird. My favorite author is Isaac Asimov, and I have read every book in the entire Robots/Galactic Empire/Foundation series from beginning to end three times.

My favorite movie is Searching for Bobby Fisher, but that may change tomorrow. I think Martin Scorsese is the greatest director who ever lived.

A few random opinions:

Star Trek: TNG is the best Trek series.

The single greatest run on a comic series was Lee/Ditko and Lee/Romita in the first 50 issues of Amazing Spiderman.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the single greatest genre tv show ever created.

Babe Ruth is the greatest baseball player who ever lived, and anybody who disagrees is a great big dodo brain.

Yunjin Kim in a tiny blue bikini all by itself would have been enough reason to give last week's episode of Lost episode four stars.

Lost is the single best tv show on broadcast tv right now.

Carnivale is the best show on tv period.

Hockey was cancelled, which I'm less upset about than say, stepping in some gum.
