Future Ambitions: Move to Los Angeles or the Bay Area; get a job in radio, record promotion, and/or music journalism. Publish a novel?
Things you like to do in your spare time: Listen to music, watch movies, browse used CD/video stores, waste time on the 'Net, travel, write, read, watch stand-up comedy...I'm also a bad gardener. I heart my cacti.
Current Profession: AM radio deejay. Volunteer host of the Think Tank and Radio8Ball.

Color: I love them all. Purple?
Food: Pasta. Linguine. Mmmmm...
Least favorite food: Stuffing (wet bread?!)
Game: Cranium
Magazine: Paste
Movie: The Saint of Fort Washington, plus many others... I tend to stick to independent films, B-movies, and anything that has one of my 34924020492 'favorite actors.'
Least favorite movie: I REALLY didn't like Polanski's Macbeth!
Musician: Well, this page links to many of my favorite artists; however, if I had to pick just ONE favorite, it would be Terry Scott Taylor. (My favorite "lyricist", though, is definitely Mark Heard.)
Smell: The ocean. Wood. Candy-cane candles. Vanilla. Cinnamon.
Sound: Breaking glass ("'specially when I'm lonely.") No... music and 'big city' sounds.
Time of day: The wee hours of the morning.
TV show: I'm not much for TV, but I'm strangely addicted to "The Shield". I'd also be happy engaged in the "Degrassi" franchise and VH1 Classics all day.

And...
Background in radio: Started in February 1995 at the aformentioned KGHP; moved on to KAOS in August 2001!
Pet peeves: Being ignored, being stared at, typing a bunch of junk and losing it before I get a chance to save it, waiting around for things that take forever, obnoxiousness ... ummm... those may sound like silly "pet peeves", but all things considered, I'm pretty laid-back!
What do you fear?: Needles, eating old food, and things that are a little less irrational but I don't feel like getting into them.
Do you drink coffee?: Not very often at home. I do love frappucinos and the occasional latte!
First record owned: Well, it was a tape, and all I know otherwise is it was something featuring Psalty -- this big, blue, talking, singing hymnal, who was married to a book of poetry named Psaltina.
Elvis or the Beatles?: The Beatles. But Elvis is cool, too.
