new staff

2 July 2009

Stop by and say hi to our staff member Russ Woods (check out his high school prom picture to the right!) Here's Russ's interview....

Q: So, Russ, what do you remember most about High School?

A: I remember meeting all my friends in the morning in the drama room and playing improv games. I was okay at improv.

Q: Do you have a most embarrassing moment? If so, what is it?

A: My most embarrassing moment of high school was when my date ditched me at my junior prom. I have a picture. (see right)

Q: What are you reading right now? What do you like about it? (Or hate?)

A: I'm reading Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. It's really, really long, but I like it a lot so far. I like the heroine a lot, and the book's hard to put down. I'm listening to the audiobook, and the narrator has a really great (and occasionally hilarious) Scottish accent.

Q: If you were stuck on a desert island and could only bring 5 books, what would you choose?

A: Revenge by Stephen Fry, The Illuminatus! Trillogy by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson, The Afterlife Diet by Daniel Pinkwater, A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. LeGuin, and Lullabies for Little Criminals by Heather O'Neill

Q: What is your favorite movie? Top five?

A: Top Five: Forbidden Zone, Fried Green Tomatoes, Paris Texas, Hitch, and Daisies.

Q: What kind of music do you like? Do you have a favorite artist or group?

A: I like folk music, rap, pop, r&b and calypso, among other things. My favorite musicians right now are Paul Simon, Prince, Mystikal, E-40, Gucci Mane, and They Might Be Giants.
