About Me

Just got back to the good ol' west-side after a few years in the Peace Corps in Namibia (it's in Africa, where Brangelina had thier baby). Just working and saving some cash before med school next year. Having a great time since I've been back, but looking forward to doing some more traveling before school. Other than that, just the same old me on a different day.

My Interests

Traveling, Camping, Hiking, Reading, Politics, International Politics, Getting angry and going on rants about Politics, Music, Art, Foriegn Cultures, Crosswords, Cooking (ok well really baking mostly), Sleeping In (not techinically an interest, but my favorite thing to do!), Board Games, Jogging, Watching crap-ass TV

I'd like to meet:

Your Mom, I hear she's pretty easy!

Music:

Namibian Music that doesn't suck (i.e. The Dogg, Gazza, Snazzy, Gal Level, Sonny Boy and other miscellaneous Kwaito and Kizomba artists), South African music, which generally sucks slightly less than Namibian music, Brenda Fasse, Malaika, the "Tani-whalla" guys, and other Kwaito and Kwasa Kwasa artists. As for American music I'm outdated but I like Hip Hop, Soul, Country, Rock, Chick Rock, Musicals, and Classical.

Movies:

Braveheart, Happy Gilmore, The Princess Bride, Ever After (totally embarrasing!), The Emperor's New Grove, Love Actually, When Harry Met Sally, Amelie, Monsoon Wedding, Roman Holiday, Napoleon Dynamite, Newsies, Garden State, etc.

Television:

"Cuando Sues Mia" - Oh HELL YEAH! It's on in Phoenix too! For those that speak Spanish or just love to watch non-sense, Azteca TV every afternoon from 4-5.

Books:

Guns, Germs, and Steel - Jared Diamond, Ishmael (and sequels)- Daniel Quinn, The Poisonwood Bible - Barbara Kingslover (I lived in Africa, I love it!), and Anna Karenina - Tolstoy are really my current favorites. Oh, and of course Harry Potter (you love it, you know you do!)
