Obstacle courses (literally and metaphorically), fighting apathy, abandoned buildings and urban exploration, train tracks, adventures, skiing, snowshoeing, riding my bicycle, dancing, the d.i.y. philosophy and its application, actually mostly accomplishing the things I set out to do, big words, grammar, black coffee, cooking, the ocean and most everything relating to it, old technology that is rapidly and tragically becoming obsolete (like typewriters, cassette tapes and snail mail), autonomous publications (like zines), the rain, independent film, insomnia, smelly felts, thrift stores, language + communication, skinny dipping, superheroes and the great unknown.
People in the real flesh and blood way.
I like music a lot.
Click the headphones Saturday nights between 8:00 and 10:00p.m. EST to listen to my radio show I Keep Hearing Noises in the Basement - or anytime else to listen to the other awesome shows on CJLO.
If you are in a band that wants to be played on late night college radio, get in touch. And send me CDs. Or tapes. Or vinyl. I like vinyl.
I like playing too. There was the Claire St. Claire and Kitty Cat Mitch Trio. And Puss in Bondage . And Subterranean Outlaw . And then The Vulgar Uglies ... And I still make lots of noise, just usually now in the form of random kitchen jams.

I generally choose not to waste my time and rot my brain glued to a silly box that makes most of my conversations about whether I'd rather sleep with McDreamy or McSteamy. That being said, I have a tendency to indulge in Six Feet Under, Soap, Max Headroom, Twin Peaks, The Young Ones, Little Mosque on the Prairie and Almost Live. And yes, I'm aware that all but one of those programs are through. I'm not with the times. Bite me.
