About Me

Things like self-aware philosophy and caring for people matter to me. Good food and good art matter to me. A comfortable place to live matters to me. Being too busy to notice the scenery but having breaks when I can see how breathtaking it is -- that matters to me. Other things don't.

My Interests

Surreal fun, unusual expressions of humanity, and bizarre circumstances that breed creativity. I like to hike, lie on the beach, swim in the ocean, and read good books.

I'd like to meet:

Strivers and laughers. Conversation-valuers.

Music:

leonard cohen, devendra banhart, velvet underground, american watercolor movement, apefight, prince, philip glass, brian eno, van morrison, diane cluck, lori anderson, bob marley, the cure, bob dylan, tom waits, billie holiday, and many more

Movies:

American Gigolo, The Triplets of Belleville, Guys and Dolls, Orlando, Zoolander, Moulin Rouge, The Wave, The King and I, Pan's Labyrinth

Television:

Supernatural, Murder She Wrote, Poirot, Mystery, Sherlock Holmes

Books:

Haroun and the Sea of Stories, Love (Angela Carter), The Time Traveler's Wife, The Life of Pi, and most novels by Vonnegut
