About Me

I'm torn between two coasts at the moment. I'm feel like I'm moving really really fast all the time, but I slow down for the good stuff.

My Interests

I love old cars with fins, and I'd love to learn how to fix them. Tiny dogs, time-consuming Mexican recipes, herpetology, and days without pants. Also macro lenses. And books. Hot tea. Dreaming of Madagascar and ring-tailed lemurs. Being challenged and having debates. Making connections. Sharing blankets. Being surprised.

I'd like to meet:

Your mom.

Movies:

Underground (Emir Kusturica)
Happy Together (Wong Kar-Wai)
Ran (Akira Kurosawa)
Babe (Noonan) ...but not Babe: Pig in the City because it's really, really scary.

Please watch the riverboat opera scene in Herzog's FITZCARRALDO. Over and over.

Books:

I read a lot about cancer and infectious disease. I read fiction and lighter stuff on airplanes, and just read The Bookseller of Kabul on a flight back from San Jose, and it's not really about a bookseller at all. Which I found a bit disappointing.
