About Me

This is how it happens sometimes, misery or joy engulfs me, without any particular tumult ensuing: nor any pathos: I am dissolved, not dismembered; I fall, I flow, I melt. Such thoughts- grazed, touched, tested (the way you test the water with your foot)-can recur. Nothing solemn about them. This is exactly what gentleness is.

My Interests

the 1920s. fragility. impression (rather than expression). languor. semiotics. anemic lethargy. things that smell. morning coffee&cigarette. subtlety. disorientation. cakes, ofcourse. punctuation. friends and cities. snow. airports. psychoanalytic interpretation. interpretation in general. horses. sunsets. nothing special.

I'd like to meet:

Jarvis Cocker. ideally. Dinos & Jake Chapman. and anyone in athens who imports cider. i know you're out there.
