Lyrics
International travel, Argentine Tango (and all manner of Latin dance), good food, good films, good music, scrabble, wordplay in general, media/culture/politics, overdetermination, language, dreams, sociology, cooking, anything that makes me laugh...
people I haven't seen for a while ... people who have rhythm ... people who are willing to feed me ice cream while I am driving .........................................Please be advised that I do not add people as friends unless I actually know them, or have a compelling enough reason to. So don't push it.
