6 days until the Man burns!

About Me

I recently moved back to corporate America from student life in Paris... picnics by the river, weekend trips to other cities in Europe, LOTS of wine tasting...
Though it was hard leaving such splendid lifestyle, I'm adjusting quite well to having customer service and reasonably priced commodies :)

Blunt, passionate, eccentric. Composed, yet silly. Shy, yet outgoing. Liberal, yet conservative. School is my hobby, and music is my passion. I liked collecting student IDs. Now I collect business cards.

My Interests

Singing, piano, guitar, dancing, spinning (I'm a hobbyist, not a DJ). Japanese food and Iron Chef. Traveling, eBaying, photography, sunblock, IT, investment theory and political economy. I love animals, especially dogs and monkeys.

I'd like to meet:

People who can make me laugh, and those who like to dance to quality breaks and house.

Music:

New Order
Pixies
Radiohead
Brazilian Girls
The Jesus and Mary Chain
Freq Nasty
Freeland.. pre-alcoholism days
PVD
Beastie Boys
Public Enemy
Hybrid
DJ Patife
Gabriel & Dresden... these guys write such beautiful songs

Movies:

*Lost in Translation. Having been a foreigner in Tokyo myself, this film captured the loneliness that was so familar to me.
*The Matrix
*Memento
*City of God

Books:

*Catcher in the Rye
*Law and Economics by Robert Cooter and Thomas Ulen
*Any paper by Steven Weber, Professor of Political Science at UC Berkeley

Heroes:

Holden Caulfield

My life is brilliant

Two Shots in the Arse. Political Turmoil

It's amazing how I can get myself in trouble no matter what country I'm in. I got an allergic reaction to mescal and beer and needed medical attention pronto! Yesterday the young, good-looking Mexican...

Falling

"I'm slipping..." "Don't. I know it's comfortable, but don't do it." But it was already too late. Today I made a decision. Help better come fast.
