Cosmopolitan in an Alexandrian sort of way

About Me

Salty, lively, full-bodied and complex taste with lots of depth.

My Interests

cephalopods...I love cephalopods. laughing at humanity, photographing waste, mixing metaphores. making sculpture, looking things up in the dictionary, questioning, exploring.

I'd like to meet:

People in Oakland or the Bay Area who are interested in: Painting, Screenprinting, Printmaking, Sculpting with found objects, the many uses for adhesive, finding hidden places, Neuropsychology, Questioning hegemony, and Sushi. Other grouchy people for pithy, erudite, and nerdy exchange. Someone special to sneer at, but most importantly someone I can be alone with.
