Welcome to my website filled with semi-useless information and goofy pictures!
Attention! I just got back from two trips to England in between August and November 2007, and I posted some pics on my "Jolly ol' England" page. Check out the link at the bottom of the page!
I moved to Austin, Texas in 1990 from Haleiwa, Hawaii (don't ask…) I worked as a jock (radio DJ) in Austin for almost ten years and as a traffic/weather reporter (at a Westwood One company) for three. I had two separate radio jobs and five aliases (on 6 different stations) for awhile- that kept me busy 7 days-a-week. I am now co-owner of a hydrogeologic consulting firm based in Austin, TX, and a Japanese major at the University of Texas at Austin, where I intend to pursue a Ph.D.
My career as a DJ began in the early 90's at the Austin affiliate of the now-defunct, kick-ass, nationwide, hard-rock station, Z-Rock. Z-Rock gave me the chance to create, produce and host my own thrash program, " Hard, Fast n' Nasty." Gawd, I loved that radio station! R.I.P. Z-Rock <sigh>
After Z-Rock, I had the honor of working for the legendary LBJS
Broadcasting "family" (93.7FM) as a B-Team Jock. KLBJ is now owned by Emmis (or however the f*ck you spell it) Broadcasting, a company that has since fired almost all of my DJ colleague friends. >:|
I left KLBJ in 2002 to work for
Austin's classic rock station, Z102, but I checked out of the "Ego Motel"
(tee-hee) in 2003.
I re-joined the U.S. Navy in 2002 as a Journalist, and I attend the University of Texas full-time as an Asian Studies/Japanese major.
When I was 13, I talked my mom into buying me a bass guitar. I skipped school a lot (voted "most absent" my senior year), and didn't care about anything but music. By 14, I was playing in at least two bands that really sucked (we thought we were great).
I joined the Navy after high school. Stationed at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD, I was given a totally fluff job as a Master-At-Arms (Naval Security). Basically, it was my job to walk around the Naval Academy, jiggle the door handles, and talk to the Midshipmen. In addition, I had to "guard" dressing room doors for visiting performers and rock bands. Not bad work for a lazy 18-year old.
After the Naval Academy, I went to Air Traffic Control School at the Naval Air Station in Memphis, TN. Upon discharge from the Navy, I moved with my family to Haleiwa, Hawaii, where I worked as a tour guide (Waimea Falls Park) and a bartender (Pearl City Tavern). My family moved from Hawaii to Dallas, Texas in 1988. In 1990, I reluctantly followed behind. It didn't take long for me to discover that Texas was gonna' be my new home, tho', 'cause I just love it here.
I co-exist with my 3 fuzzy kitty-cats (CowCat MooKitty, Stinky Hatchepsut McStinksen, and Ushi Neko MooKitty), my fuzzy husband, Matt, and by older brother, Rick. Matt works really hard (kinda' sorta') as a hydrogeologist for our firm.
I seem to be a career student, I dunno'... I'm a permanent senior at the University of Texas, majoring in Japanese/Asian Studies. I may be in college forever. I'd like to continue my career as a Navy Journalist, maybe I'll become a Japanese language translator, I dunno'... I'd like to move to Japan, England, or Hong Kong (especially England).
I love Asia (especially Japan), and I like to travel as often as possible. I have a humongous passion for Pink Floyd (especially David Gilmour-check back soon for an exciting update of my successful "stalking" of Mr. Gilmour at his houseboat in England). I'm a certified (certifiable?) Pink Floyd "freak." I also enjoy Monty Python, MST3K, and all fluffy, fuzzy and/or furry four-legged creatures (especially kitty-cats).
