My Interests

I need a vacation. now.

I'd like to meet:

People who not only eat to live, but live to eat. Left handers. Easy going, out-going, exuberant, down-to-earth, creative, fashionable, geeky, cheeky, and freaky people...ok maybe not freaky. Free thinkers, coffee drinkers, animal lovers, artist types, gourmet food and premium sake afficionados, and those who love to do a mad jig to music. People I see at art galleries but are too shy to strike up a conversation with. Native Japanese speakers. Oh yes and nice girls with cute chipmunk cheeks. You!

Music:

Alice Russel, Amy Winehouse, Arcade Fire, Bebel Gilberto, Beirut, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Blonde Redhead, Broadcast, Cut Chemist, Daedelus, Deerhoof, Edan, Feist, Lali Puna, Madvillian, Melt-Banana, Moving Units, National, Refused, RJD2, Shena Ringo, Shins, Stark Reality, Stereolab, Sufjan Stevens, Takako Minekawa, Thao Nguyen, Voxtrot, Wax Tailor, Weekend Players, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Zero 7

Movies:

Films by Wong Kar Wai, Michel Gondry, Miyazaki, Kurosawa, Alejandro González Iñárritu, and Fernando Meirelles. Too many to name.

Television:

not so much

Books:

Me Talk Pretty One Day - Sedaris, The Cheese Monkeys - Chip Kidd, The Tao of Nutrition, Synoptic Gospels, Art/Design books, Textbooks that I've doodled in the margins and sold back used. Magazines- Dwell, +81, IdN, Theme, Fast Company, Good, Bak.

Heroes:

kindhearted, everyday people who think about others before themselves.
