Terry

I heart my new job, and the Magpie.

About Me

I love music, movies, comics, toys, and WFMU. I read constantly, and have parlayed my vast knowledge of pop culture detritus into a paying job. I've done a number of gameshows, won money on all of them, and hopefully have not exceeded my eligibility for more. I have a beautiful, talented, whip-smart girlfriend who loves most of the same things I do, and introduces me to things I don't yet know I love. We have two cats and a very large dog, who live with us, and another cat and dog who are on loan to her parents.

My Interests

WFMU: the greatest radio station in the known universe. Comics: mainstream, alternative and underground. Music of all kinds everything from Interpol to showtunes, The Dead Kennedys to Bobby Short, Schoenberg to Zappa. Movies! Movies! Movies! And of course the news.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who could conclusively prove that the election was hacked.
