I also really miss the mid-90's Alternative Rock movement and still listen to the "classics" on Radio 104
I tend to listen to a lot of talk radio a bit also. (i'm a subscriber)
Movies
I think I've been to a total of 4 movies in the last 3 years.
I like somewhat mindless action movies:
Die Hard
The Matrix
Saving Private Ryan
Blackhawk Down
etc...
and other classics like:
Back to the Future
Wargames
UHF
and so on...
Television
Almost anything on:
Discovery Science
Discovery Channel
History Channel
Military Channel
Sometimes A&E has good stuff. Same with the Food Network and TLC
I don't watch much as far as sitcoms/drama/reality but I do watch The Big Bang Theory on CBS as well as Scrubs and the Office on NBC and, don't laugh, Smallville.
Books
I don't read very much. It was never anything I enjoyed as a child and, unfortunately, that sentiment has translated to my adult life.

I was born April 7, 1979 at "Women and Infants Hospital" in Providence, RI. to Charles and Beth Murray. We lived briefly in Exeter, RI before moving to South Kingston where I attended South Road Elementary School through second grade.
In 1987 my father's job had our family move to Tolland, CT where I grew up – attending both Tolland Middle and High Schools. My mother passed away my junior year. After graduating High School in 1997 I attended Eastern College (now "Eastern University") in St. Davids, PA for two years where I majored in music with a concentration in electronic composition.
During that time my father remarried and moved to Manchester, CT. In the fall of 1999 I moved back home and began attending classes at Eastern Connecticut State University (ECSU) as a communications major. In my third and final semester at ECSU I met my future wife Alissa (Ally) Chesner through mutual friends.
I began working full time as a paperwork-pushing administrator for USI Consulting Group the summer of 2001 and continued there until my department was outsourced at the end of 2002.
In the spring of 2003 I took a job for a division of Hilb Rogal & Hobbs (HRH) as a tech support consultant for a web based product. On June 7 of that year, Ally and I were married and moved to an apartment in Manchester where we have lived until the spring of 2009.
I learned quite a bit at HRH as I worked my way up over 3 and a half years. At the start of 2007 I decided it was time to move on so I took a position as "Web Applications Developer" for the American Radio Relay League where I am currently employed. Going into my second year at ARRL I bit the bullet at got my Technician Class Amateur Radio License from the FCC; callsign W1MJM. (that's, Whiskey-One-Mike-Juliet-Mike)
Ally and I have now been married for over six years. During that time, she has worked her way through a number of both office and early-childhood development jobs and is currently working in Simsbury for Chubb Specialty Group.
We have two cats: Theo and Lelah. No kids yet. In the spring of 2009 we moved to downtown West Hartford, CT.

Our lives are made in these small hours, these little wonders, these twists & turns of fate. Time falls away, but these small hours, these small hours still remain. All of my regret will wash away some how but i can not forget the way i feel right now.

Omg Micah, I almost don't believe you!!! Annemarie was a VP; how could she be working at Cabellas? Please tell me you said "Hi". :-) (Maybe she could have givven you her employee discount on that case of 9mm. )
Out here in sunny CA they are trying to outlaw sales of handgun caliber ammo in some areas where crime is too high. I wrote my state rep and asked him to outlaw cars in some areas to increase traffic safety. We'll see how that goes. . .
