I got a new car!! No more jeep. I get 39 miles to the gallon! And no oil leak! It's so nice not feeling like I am single handedly destroying the environment every time I drive somewhere.
I love running, 5k's, yoga, hiking, riding my bike, autumn when it's sunny, summer without humidity, falafel, aloo matar, and travelling - really anywhere...road trips or flights, as long as I end up in a new place and get to explore I'm down. I am frustrated with politics and in love with feminism. I've found I have a much better life when I live without religion.
I still miss the west/best coast and can't wait to move back, but I've been working hard to find positive things about this coast so I get the most out of my time here, I think it's working.
i love music...a lot...some of my favorites include (but are by no means limited to): lucero, remains of the day, against me!, portishead, fall silent, the gogo's, bikini kill, joan jett, scott baio army, weezer, le tigre, iron lung, spazz, acdc, the oath, the cure, lana dagales, harem scarum, bright calm blue, death cab for cutie, bright eyes, the b-52's, beastie boys, catheter, melt banana, an albatross, yellow machine gun, 99, crushstory, sufjan stevens, devendra banhart, clap your hands and say yeah, the decemberists, bloc party, rocky votolato, of montreal etc……
The Daily Show and the Colbert Report are the greatest shows of all time (except for Buffy of course) Also, I've been known to sit through entire marathons of Law and Order Criminal Intent, Gilmore Girls, and Chapelle's Show...Life was so much simpler when I didn't own a TV...I have no will power.
