About Me

sunny days are the most lovely of things to me. i sat outside and watched the undersides of a giant maple today for a few hours, this is why i love summer. this is why it should stay longer. my end to the ends is existentialism by which i do not believe i shall ever be able to live. and so it is.

My Interests

my cat, travel, reading, farmers' markets, long afternoons and camping.

I'd like to meet:

the good humans.

Music:

i have become quite the minimalist. i have only been listening to radiohead and the beatles as of late. (with a little wilco, bob dylan & sigur ros thrown in for good measure ... though i should invest in that new hanson cd.)

Movies:

i do enjoy the film medium if it's backed with quick intellect or is emotionally manipulative (ah yes, an ever important key in film making). though i find life to be more greatly rewarding than film (and i only mention this because of a best friend who is a cinema studies major). for instance, an embrace in life far surpasses any on screen, henceforth the film must be extraordinarily good for me to watch it.

Television:

not so much. (except for maybe a bbc lion documentary from the '70s, i've got weak knees for those ... or salute your shorts [which, to my knowledge, are not even played anymore])

Books:

great expectations! (i finished it and it's lovely!) d. jensen, f. dostoevsky, r. laing, k. vonnegut, e. galeano, t. morrison, d. stannard, j. zerzan, m. foucault, e. said, p. coelho. i really could go on but wont.

Heroes:

edward said amazes me intellectually. and george harrison ... well now, that's all that need be said.
