Movies, junk TV, good TV, music, sci-fi, great food, coca-cola and shopping! I collect Star Wars toys and memorabilia, especially the female characters. I also collect other cool looking female action figures that catch my fancy.
Music
What don't I like would be easier. I can appreciate most everything but noisy, messy jazz ticks me off. Classics for me are David Bowie, Elvis Costello, The Clash, INXS, U2. Current new artists for me are O.A.R., Kelly Clarkson (yes, really, the chic can sing and write now that she's free of Idol-dum!), and the variety of my favorite radio station, KNRK - the most awesome alternative station (listen online at 947.fm). Recent stuff, from the last decade or so, include Sister Hazel who I adore, Sarah McLaughlin, Alanis Morrisette, Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Audio Slave, oh and so many others! Long ago I was really into medieval music and folk/60's music as well as musicals, Stephen Sondheim being my favorite - I can't stand Phantom of the Opera! Give me Sweeney Todd!
Movies
Star Wars! I just really dig sci-fi movies. I think it started with watching Lost in Space and Star Trek as a kid. I vaguely remember seeing The Blob when I was very young, then next remember the Planet of the Apes. Most recently Serenity and the latest Harry Potter were very enjoyable. I also had a good time at Wallace and Grommet. I need to get out to a movie without my 5-year-old someday again...
I also like comedy, drama, and historical pieces as well as Asian cinema both beautiful and fun.
Television
I love my DVR! HBO & Showtime series are mostly awesome (Sopranos, Deadwood, Rome, Weeds) though I am rather ticked that Carnivale was cancelled. I've loved ER and Law & Order since they began. And I like a lot of the junk on VH1.
Books
Oh, how I miss reading books! Work, kid, spouse, house, bills, business...I mostly read magazines now and I'm currently reading kitchen remodeling books and I'm getting ready to crack a book called 'Trigger Point Therapy for Myofascial Pain, hoping to find relief from some of my CFIDS symptoms.
But I used to read lots of sci-fi and fantasy - Anne McCaffrey, Tolkien, Kathryn Kurtz, Ursula LeGuin, and I also added Ann Rice to the mix later on. Historical biographies and books on myth, magic, and many different occult/pagan/spiritual topics.
Heroes
When I was a kid it was Joan of Arc because she was a chick in armor on a horse! I love the statue of her at 39th and Glisan but was really stoked when we just happened into Orlean France while driving to Samur and there was my favorite statue of her ever, huge and in person!
Also, my historical ancestor Eleanor of Aquitane who was a very strong woman for the 10th century.
I still look for a modern female hero but they're hard to find.
Of course, Princess Leia is my fictional hero.

Until November 2007 I worked for Leviton/NSI/Colortran in marketing and product development and had also worked as an installation project manager. I have done just about every theatre job there is except costuming - I can't sew! I've also
About me: Other than the theatre and work stuff as mentioned in the Networking section, I have been married since 1993 and have one son born in 2000. I love to sing but right now only get to karaoke on occassion.
Who I'd like to meet: Elvis Costello and Carrie Fisher because I could get beyond my fandom with either of them and I think we'd have great conversation.
Karaoke is every Saturday night at the Penguin Pub & Eatery on 17th & Tacoma in Sellwood. I KJ Saturdays and sometimes on Fridays as well. We usually go from 9 to 1, but sometimes 2am if it's rowdy enough! Come on by and if you're lucky, you'll get to see me channel my inner Steve Perry. :-)
I really really hope to get to meet you/see you on August 9th. This is going to be a reunion above all others. Hope to see you there!~!~! If you have any questions feel free to ask. Have an amazing day!!! Tim
I was turned onto Sister hazel from a DJ friend when I was in New York my first time 11 years ago. Been one of my VERY FAVORITE bands every since.
Hope to see you at the next reunion, next summer.
