I've never been good at filling these things out, but here it goes. I like long walks in cold mountain air, preferably with snow on the ground. I enjoy drinking fine soda by the crackling fire, and deep tissue massage. I hope to one day grow up an become and astronaut, so I can fly to Venus to see if that's really where women come from. If it's true, I'll bring one back for you, too. Unless it's a dude you want, and then you're out of luck...sorry. My favorite month is October, because Halloween is the best holiday ever! It allows me to openly proclaim my love and obsession with scary movies without being seen as some sort of lunatic. Okay, not too much of a lunatic. I'm a huge fan of rock and metal music, and you'll often hear me blasting the control room speakers into oblivion every night during my show. My engineer doesn't like me very much, since he has to fix them. Sorry, Mike.

Restaurant Went Tipless and Says Service and Wages Got Better – Is This the Way to Go?
Friends who lived or visited different places in Europe have told me about the no tipping lifestyle over there, and from an experience with a bunch of drunk Brits at a Ricky Hatton fight in Vegas, I experienced it a bit.
I know tipping is how wait staff gets their money, and businesses pay them less per hour because of it. This guy, Jay Porter, got rid of tipping in his restaurant. Completely.

The New Skyrim Fan Film Kicks Ass – YouTube Movie Makers are Blowing Hollywood Away
Hollywood has really gone downhill, with their focus on remakes, sequels, sparkly vampires...it's disheartening to see what has happened. The endings are predictable (for the most part), the lameness of their scary movies is growing...but there is an alternative!
Not just going independent for your movies, but going to YouTube!
Scott Ronson is the Scariest Man on the Face of the Earth
At least, to the cleaning crew.
I came in for my show tonight, and while talking to Scott, he told me a funny story that I have to share with you. The characters will remain nameless, excepting Scott, so no one should get upset.
Blowing Up Highlighters in the Microwave – Pinterest is Evil and Our Break Room is Suffering
So, the girls in the office have been on Pinterest again. Why is this bad, you ask? Because they can't just see a cake recipe or something and flag it. They have to find the weirdest stuff on there, and then try it out in our kitchen/break room. A while back, it was Peep-fighting, now it's artsy highlighter explosions. It never turns out like the pictures they see on Pinterest.

Where Are the Ten Most Haunted Places in the United States?
KLAQ Haunting Update: There hasn't been much activity around here lately, although Peter has mentioned some odd things he thinks have happened while he's been here late. Nothing he can really define, and nothing caught on any kind of recording. I think this year might be the year we really try and ramp up the ghost activity in the building.
How would we (okay, I, since everyone here is a chicke
A Fantastic Billboard that Actually Makes Drinkable Water Out of Air – Seriously Cool [VIDEO]
The University of Engineering and Technology, UTEC, was looking for some way to wow students for their upcoming semester. They went to Lima, Peru, where people have been suffering from a lack of water, since they receive little rain. They have about 98% humidity, but it doesn't rain much. The planet is weird.
The billboard takes the humidity from the air, and turns it into drinking water!

Get Into Stone Sour’s Gear – Jim and Josh Show You What They Use on Tour
I'm a sucker for gear videos. I love to see what the bands are using to get the sounds they want for the studio, the tour, whatever. I guess it feeds into my GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) that I suffer from.
Stone Sour has really good tone on their albums and on the road, and if you want to know how they get them, this is the video for you...and me, for sure. Enjoy!
I Now Have to See the Movie “Bad Milo” – Because the Trailer is Awesome [VIDEO]
I was looking around on Facebook and saw a new trailer for "Insidious 2", which I'm interested in seeing. I really liked the first one, up until the trip into the whatever, so basically up until the last fifteen minutes. Hopefully, the new one keeps the creepiness going longer, and doesn't do the Hollywood crap at the end.
But I digress.
