About Me

This is Serena. This page started as a work page but is some weird hybrid of the personal and professional now.I write most of the articles for the The Register-Guard's Friday Ticket section. That's the entertainment section. This page is not a product of The Register-Guard (obviously), but a way to stay in touch with the music scene and readers.You can find an official R-G online product www.registerguard.com/ticketfiles. It's a "blog," but mostly just has sound clips, photos and links to articles. I'm starting to put more Web exclusive material there, but that's spotty at this point because I just don't have enough hours in my work week. (Not that I want more.)Note to bands: Please contact me at [email protected] if you have information on a show or otherwise want to get my attention. MySpace for me is sheerly for networking, not for working unless I ask for something specific.Thanks for respecting my time. I reserve the right to ignore MySpace requests for coverage.

Music:

Ticket Blog www.registerguard.com/ticketfilesI should really do this list. It would probably take me about an hour so I'll do it later

Movies:

make me want to get up and move

Television:

I don't have one, but back when I did I watched big brother, grey's anatomy and house when I could figure out what day it was on

Books:

Now that i have finished the Harry Potter series, i am going to move on to reading as many Pulitzer Prize winners as I can in 2008. There are 65 I haven't read yet, so I've got my work cut out for me

Heroes:

Princess

As I told my friend today, Oct. 4 is my deadline for dwelling on my break up with Brad. I won't be over it, but I think after that point it's probably best to only talk about it with a professional if...
