I've lived in or around the city my whole life so it feels like home to me. I am down to earth but not weighed down by life. I like what I suppose are the typical things: the beach and the ocean in the summer, (tasteful) holiday lights in the winter. I am handy around the house, but I am not too butch. I wish I could get more sleep, but there are too many things I want to do. I am rarely if ever bored. I try not to rely on spellcheck too much, but I use it when I have to. I want to buy a big house just so I can decorate it.

I work in entertainment publicity full-time and DJ part-time (www.lushandlively.net). Plus I am planning to take a few classes in graphic design and digital photography (not for professional purposes, but to move my own projects along). Also, I am learning to cook - or at least preparing food more efficiently.

Writing (unless it’s about myself), telling bad jokes, picking the perfect gift, listening to others thoughtfully, creating customized CDs for friends, saying “Super Duper!” when good things happen and “Boo Hiss” when bad things happen.

That my eyeglasses are red (when I am wearing my red glasses) or blue (when I am wearing my blue glasses). If I am wearing no glasses, I am sometimes told my eyes are pretty.

I mostly read music and theater biographies (this summer I had a brief stint with comedy books: Steve Martin and Paul Lynde down, with one of the many books on SNL to come next). Right now I am in the middle of “The Label: The Story of Columbia Records” – an epic read that traces the first 100 years of the label – and “Last Train To Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley” the first of a two part series, supposedly the definitive account of his life and times.

Musically, my main loves are still jazz/pop vocals and theater music, but I am discovering more and more fabulous vintage R&B, soul, disco and funk, with some country and neo-rockabilly thrown in as well. I still listen to the 80s music I grew up with and the classic rock I loved in high school. Plus I am – finally! – getting into select contemporary dance/pop artists like Adam Lambert, Scissor Sisters and Katy Perry.

Food: Yes, please.

Seeing a show or a concert. Either entertaining friends or being entertained by them.

Private eyes are watching you. In fact, they're watching every move that you make.

…you know what's good for you!
