I am someone that appreciates the subtle joys in life. The next good food, good drink. The next sensation. Life should be full of thought and feeling... gritty, sweet, sour, or otherwise. I want to travel to lands far away full of people I do not know. Their lives are a mystery to me and I want to experience it all. This sums it up:

"I write, I travel, I cook, and I'm hungry for more." - Tony Bourdain

Getting things for grad school in order. Preparing to land that dream job that will allow me to live a comfortable life in intelligence/science... I worked at a sperm biotech company. Got my sperm count down for all who are curious.

Finishing my 2nd genetics degree. Learning languages.

Gardening and being assertive at work. Never failing to find something to laugh about all day. I build my own computers and enjoy taking them apart and putting them back together. Making resumes.

Ask me anything about plants. I do things no one else thinks is possible. I have an eye for the exotic. Rare finds from the deepest parts of the tropics, the South of Africa, the vastness of Asia. Bamboo and palms, I can name them all.

My sense of direction.

From a distance it has to be the hair, which is fluffy. I have great shoes and dress upwards - dress for what you want, not what you have. Shoulders.

I love The Stranger, Shaun of the Dead, Hero, Shaolin Soccer, The Kingdom, and Munich for books and movies. I cant wait to have some more sushi! I like Cold War Kids and Muse alot. Arcade Fire, Archive, Beirut, Explosions in the Sky, Modest Mouse, Radiohead, Dinosaur Jr, Stereophonics, Silversun Pickups, Mew, the Submarines, and so on..

Anything British Alternative. Arctic Monkeys are a perennial favorite.

TONY #$@!$ BOURDAIN. Kitchen Confidential is like my bible.

Travel Channel
News
Coffee
My portfolio
Potted plants
Memory foam mattress.. most excellent.

Politics and the news. How to invest my money in the smartest way possible. Where to find fresh produce to hone my cooking skills.

What new language to take. Russian?

UPDATE: I'm going Swedish! UPDATE: Came. Did. Done.

Coffee followed by some time at the local whiskey or wine tasting. If there is a worthwhile show at Rumba I'll watch.

I'm a plant freak.

You like the same things I do. Also if you know what rule 34 is. If you are artsy and entertaining. If you want to help me poke out clothes.
