My Interests

all design, architecture, art, music, making stuff, vegetarianism, philosophy, sociology/cultural studies, photography. I love carbohydrates....

I'd like to meet:

people who like to make stuff. people interested in art and architecture. people who like to talk about art and architecture and then go do something about it. people who like to take pictures. people who like to make music. vegetarians and vegans.

i dont watch much television but i do like the history channel and the discovery chanel. The make-stuff shows can be good, but also frustrating.

i love books but i don't read as much as much as that implies. lately: marxism, modernism, relational aesthetics, typography, utopianism, social theory, social practice... especially anything that relates these topics to art, architecture, and/or design.
