Nerd. Writer. Loner.
Launched the following pages:
- The Twilight Samurai / Tasogare Seibei (movie)
- Yoji Yamada (director) (Well, I launched the page, but for now it's just stuff from wikipedia.)
Incidentally, I also wrote Penny's physics joke
that appeared in the episode "The Dead Hooker Juxtaposition" in season two of The Big Bang Theory — even though the official attribution somehow went to George Smoot. SMOOOOOOOOT!
