Born and raised in the woods amongst the ocean and mountains of the far north west corner of Washington state.

I love story telling, boat riding, wine drinking, letter writing, and laughing.

I can speak Italian, especially when encouraged by an Italian or a fair amount of wine. I'd like to learn Spanish or French. I love Airplanes and Airports and most transient places intrigue me.

Well I just moved back to Brooklyn from Berlin a few months ago so I've been adjusting to living back in the states. I work at a gallery but when I'm not there I try to get out to other gallery openings, shows, and exhibits. Lots of dinners and drinks with friends with the occasional weekend trip to visit other friends. Mostly I've just been enjoying myself.

keeping in touch with people, blushing when I'm trying not to, cooking, acquiring freckles, listening, noticing small gestures, trying new things, discussing ideas, and sending mail the old fashioned way.

I think that depends a lot on the situation and the people. Maybe my hair?

These tend to be long lists but I'll try to do a shortened version.

Some favorite authors: Milan Kundera, John Cheever, Italo Calvino, Margaret Atwood, Miranda July, Gabriel García Márquez, Susan Sontag, Paul Auster, Truman Capote,...

Movies: Il Postino, Vertigo, Annie Hall, You Me and Everyone We Know, The Planet Earth Series, The Royal Tenenbaums, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, and I love Mad Men, The Wire, and of course 30 Rock and The Office as far as shows go.

Music: Bluegrass, Blues, Indie, Classic Rock, Hip Hop, some Electronic and House (I did live in Berlin), and most anything French.
If I'm ever in a bad mood Graceland by Paul Simon usually get me out of it.

Radio/Podcasts (cause they're great): This American Life, RadioLab, The Moth, Savage Love, Stuff You Should Know, and NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me.

Foods: Moroccan, Thai, Indian, Mexican, Italian, and I love a potluck or dinner party. Those are the best.

trains, planes, people I love, coffee, tea, cameras, sincerity, laughter, forgetting, and a good read. I think this is the type of list that could either be a few very obvious things or a gigantic list of obscure ideas of things.

stories, the future, places I want to go, sex, the what ifs...

lettin' my hair down

Ok so I'm a little nervous about a big commitment in my life right now but, I'm also not into one night stands. Mostly I'm interested in meeting people and being more open minded about dating in a city.
