Hi, I'm Betsi Goutal (a.k.a "Zlana"), the person behind the username elg@mv.mv.com.

My absolute favorite movie ever is... (drumroll please!)... THE WIZARD of SPEED and TIME. It's about a very much non-union special effects man, named Mike Jittlov (his real name), who makes a movie with "special effects that mean something, they're not just frosting on the cake." The effects are so amazing that you'd never guess it was made in the late '70s.

I am most commonly seen on MUSHes or MUXes, which are a type of interactive game. MUSH stands for Multi-User Shared Hallucination, which gives you a good idea of what MUSHes and, in fact, all mu*es are like. The term "mu*" includes mushes, muxes, moos, muses, and mucks, all of which are very similar.

Here are a some links to get you started MUSHing:

My two main hangouts are: Here are some good lists:
