Math nerd turned adventurous sometime between calc class and now. Culturally Jewish sarcastic New Yorker with a passion for bagels and Chinese food. Intellectual snob, but somewhat nice about it if that's not too much of a contradiction in terms. Anglophile. Finally at the point in my life where it's ok to wear t-shirts with words/pictures/puns on them into work, and extremely excited about it.

Math. Biology. Adjusting to life as a grad student after living in London for 5 fabulous years. Trying to replicate various things from said life to make transition easier. Successfully replicated: having an actual kitchen, being surrounded by people with British accents, having a group of girls with whom to watch porn, pub quiz. Still missing: proper pub with Sunday roast, street with numerous sketchy shisha bars, constant drizzle.

Sentence Fragments. Scrabble. Crossword puzzles. Bad puns. Math, sometimes.

The bad pun I just made, or curly hair.

Books: Specifically: London Fields, Consider the Lobster, The Ground Beneath Her Feet. Generally: Rushdie, Kundera, Hitchens, Amis, Foster Wallace, Caitlin Moran, Murakami, Anais Nin, others..

Movies: Withnail and I, Big Lebowski (there are others, but these are the most important)

Shows: Archer, Game of Thrones, Homeland, Arrested Development, Dr Who

Music: Bob Dylan, bad 80's music, Trey Anastasio, Borderline-unhealthy obsession with Leonard Cohen, most things from before 1975

Food: Most things, but especially spicy things and raw things

My various coffee pots, coffee in general, couscous, cheese, The Bugle podcast, my frivolous lace-up boots

Sex, pigeons, literature

In NYC, exploring Princeton's flourishing bar scene, or at home on the couch watching Archer with ice cream and Bailey's

I always used to judge people who said they were from New York and then when pressed, admitted to actually being from New Jersey. I am now one of those people, but I spend enough time in NYC to maybe kind of sort of justify it?

You've just finished reading London Fields or Infinite Jest and want to have your brain picked.

You think that doing something like coming up with Jewish-themed magical realism puns like "Bris of the Spiderwoman" is a good use of your time/brainpower

You think you can beat me in scrabble (you probably can't)

You'd be equally happy spending Friday night at the opera or at a make-out party

You're a girl who's interested in joining the Princeton branch of the Ladies High Tea and Pornography society (not kidding)

You're an undergrad who wants to be corrupted (only sort of kidding)
