About box543

I'm a full-time project lead/web designer at a Fortune 100 firm. I really like my job, since I work with a nice relaxed group of designers and programmers. I use a variety of programs including Photoshop, BBEdit, Dreamweaver, Interdev and Flash. The one downfall to being a web designer, however, is that everyone and their dog seems to think they can do your job. (If I hear one more, "You should see the site my 5-year old made in FrontPage; it's about Pokemon!" - I will rip someone's head off.)
In my job I use both Macintosh and Windows. I mince no words: I love Apple. Given the choice, I will choose my Macs over PCs any day of the week. However, this doesn't mean that I can't judge products for both Macs and PCs fairly. :)
I'm married (three years as of July 2000). My husband is a computer network consultant; so our house is very wired. I enjoy spending time with him and our critters (3 cats and a rat).
I am a huge softie when it comes to animals. I can't even go to the pet store on adoption days because I want to take them all home with me. I've had a variety of pets throughout my life including iguanas and rabbits (and cats and dogs and rats and fish and newts...) and I truly believe in researching a pet before you buy one.
Music is a passion for me. My husband and I both collect vinyl records -and before you ask, yes, they still make them - and currently we have over12 feet of albums. I'm not sure numerically how many that is, but it's several hundred or so. This doesn't include our CDs either...
I mostly listen to pop and new wave. Mainly '80s artists, but I venture into the '60s, '70s, '90s and current-day now and again as well.
Favorite musician: David Bowie.
Favorite band: XTC.
Favorite composer: Philip Glass.
I'm a big fan of shoujo/magical girl anime. Some of my favorite series include Magic Knights Rayearth, Saber Marionette J and Sailor Moon. I adore Studio Ghibi/Miyazaki's works - especially My Neighbor Totoro, which is a movie I would recommend to anyone.
I do have other interests besides web design, pets and music! I love gardening - whether it's a flowerbed or a flowerpot, I find little that relaxes me more than gardening. When I'm feeling creative and have some free time, I like to create icons for my computers (Mac and Windows). I have a slight (maybe not so slight) obsession with cute things - mainly Sanrio characters and Winnie the Pooh. Finally, I collect shoes - not just any shoes though, Doc Martens (-especially the Mary Janes!). However, this isn't a cheap hobby, so I never buy more pairs of shoes than I actually wear.
Update!
I've updated my epinion on Green Iguanas to include important information about the fact that your pet iguana should not be hibernating.
