About Me

"Give me detached existentialist ennui.
Flash.
Give me rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism.
Flash."

-Invisible Monsters

Buyakasha,

I'm a senior psychology major at Brandeis U., with a minor in art history. I pretend that I'm majoring in urban planning, but we don't even have that major.

Being a Brantastic berating boy behooves bright boors.

I work in a lab studying the molecular pharmacology of Parkinson's Disease. Cell culture is tedious and monotonous. And beautiful. I also really, really enjoy Bernini, Millet, and Pompeiian painting. And architecture. And running. And urban planning. And linguistics. And theatre. And Bernard-Henri Levy. And Cavafy. And the Coen Brothers. And Marc Jacobs.

I love producing plays. Come see Brandeis Players' production of Albee's The Goat or, Who Is Sylvia on campus at the Shapiro Theater, Oct. 26-29. Be there, or be asexual.
