Goin to shows!! I need my fix of live music at least once a week. I'm up for anything from jazz to rockabilly, folk to punk. I do prefer punkabilly at the Darkside with a steady supply of Lone Star Beer! You can usually find me stumbling from bar to bar in Deep Ellum, or rockin out with the boys at Pete's Dueling Piano in Fort Worth. Other times I've been spotted doing the electric slide in my PJs by the light of my neon Neverending Story clock, going on wee-hour armadillo safaris, or sparking a late game of poker. Nintendo 64 is back, baby! I love me some Bond or Mario Kart with my Steve O. Driving is my ultimate therapy. I'm a hardcore highway junkie! I love to travel, and my job allows me to do that quite a bit. I do my best to be in town for the roller derby season. Go Hotties! And long live Skateland!

I loathe regular TV. I mainly watch cartoons like Family Guy, Ren and Stimpy, Aquateen Hunger Force, and Home Movies. Steve and I love to dork out to How It's Made, an awesome series that takes you into factories and shows you how random things are created. Remember those segments on Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers that showed us how crayons were made?? Well this is the big-people version. Some cool shows are Reno 911, Kids in the Hall, The State, and In Living Color. Flight of the Conchords rox my sox!
I like reading autobiographies and philosophy. My favorite writers are Hunter S. Thompson, Maxine Hong Kingston, Simone de Beauvoir, Franz Kafka, William Shakespeare, Lord Byron, Samuel Beckett, and Friedrich Nietzsche. Since I started editing, my personal reading is on the decline, unfortunately. I expect it will be back in full swing soon enough. Some days each eyeball feels like Darryl Hannah's after Uma Thurman stepped on it.
