i draw, drink, play, sing, knit, and geek out. i speak japanese about as well as i play guitar and i like kitties with smooshie faces. i also compulsively fold paper cranes. my taste leans towards british, indie (whatever the hell that word means anymore), and intelligently absurd. i want to be an ex-patriate when i grow up.
aural fixation! i think i will always feel like my collection is too stunted.
current song obsession(s): fiery furnaces - sweet spots
6 bands:
harvey danger

Number 1 fave: Rushmore.
Close Second: Shaun of the Dead.
6 movies:
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
