Music
no lie, ALL of it: rock, classical, big band, r&B, hip hop, rap, bluegrass, country (dont laugh but I used to teach country line and swing dancing...ok, fine, go ahead and laugh...), tribal/world/fusion (especially arabic/middle eastern/israeli/egyptian), GOTHIC/ INDUSTRIAL, ...
(except Modern "jazz"...that schizophrenic all-over-the-place "jamming" just sounds like noise...oh, and Im not overly fond of "clown music" aka: Polka)
want specific examples? Fine...MUSE! MyChem, NIN, BLue October, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Tori Amos (nothing after Choirgirl Hotel though), Br& New (for the lyrics), Tom Petty (nothing after "wildflowers" though), Fleetwood Mac (yes, even the new stuff), And you Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead...

Movies
"Philadelphia Story" (Hepburn and Grant, not Hanks), "Goonies", anything with Jet Li in it, anything with Tim Burton in the director's/creator's chair, anything with Kevin Smith writing the dialogue, "Chasing Amy" (for the monologues), "Secretary", "Chicago", "A Christmas Story", "the Princess Bride", "Raising Arizona", "Goonies"
Television
A roommate broke my 8 year streak of NO TV! (I ditched cable when "Star Trek: next generation" went off the air) but now Im addicted to "Friends" re-runs (theyre all new to me b/c i'd never seen a single episode while the show was currently running), HIstory/Nat'l Geo./Animal Planet channels (esp. History Channel. I watch an ABSURD amount of History channel...), turner Classic movies, AMC, and "So You Think YOu Can Dance" (another "talent" competition with a dumbass name but holy Sh*t the dance routines are some of the hottest, most complex numbers Ive EVER witnessed!)
ANd one more thing, thanks to my sister and mom and their TIVO:
BOSTON LEGAL!!!! I probably couldnt even tell you what the episodes were about after watching them b/c i spent the whole time fantasizing about James Spader..
Books
(I'll read the back of a shampoo bottle if there's nothing better around. I LOVE to read...)
Favorite author of all time: C.S. Lewis (read everything!!)
Favorite author still alive: Dean Koontz
Favorite Book of all time: "Boys LIfe" by Robert McCammon
a couple other "special" favorites worth noting: "Love Monkey" by Kyle Smith, C.S. Lewis (yes, everything but especially touching is) "A Grief Observed", and "The Question of God: C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud debate God, Love, Sex, and the Meaning of Life" by Dr. Armand Nicholi Jr.

my dad and grandmother... pretty much everyone in my family one way or the other.
About me: I'm the chick on air weekdays 3-7pm and Music Director at an alterna-rock station in Tampa Bay. I also host "Tasty Fresh" Sunday nights at 9pm. My real name IS Kate. I love my job but it does not define me (although, it does tend to suck up a lot of my time/life=). I've also been in the military for the last 13 years. 8 active duty and currently a Guardsman in the 290th at MacDill. Considering my father and grandfathers also served, it's in my blood and this "job" does, to some unavoidable extent, define me...
