I write letters to people. Sometimes to people I know, sometimes not. I also learned how to make a kite this summer. I recently got a promotion and that's taking a lot outta me, but in a really good, creative, and interesting way. Otherwise I'm thinking of going to Vancouver for two weeks and visiting some pals soon-ish.

Knowing where every bookstore and cafe in the city is and making us walk towards them totally secretly.

I'm constantly reading. It sounds like a joke, or that I'm just saying something to impress, but really, I'm constantly reading. Like if you go to put your jacket away I'll probably take the few seconds while you're gone and I'll begin reading. Really.

It's more about favorite authors than it is about favorite books: Roberto Bolano; Jack Kerouac; Haruki Murakami (anyone read 1984 yet?); Dave Eggers; Junot Diaz; Walt Whitman; Herman Melville; Ernest Hemingway; David Harvey; Walter Benjamin; J. Ralston Saul; Peter Matthieson; Jack London; Hannah Arendt; Albert Camus; Mordechai Richler; Sean Dixon; D.F. Wallace; Rick Moody; Umberto Eco;Howard Zinn; Sheila Heti; Noam Chomsky; Naomi Klein; Julia Kristeva; Charles Bukowski; Al Purdy (the list just sort of goes on and on...)

Do you like horror movies? If you do you absolutely must watch VHS. Blew my mind. If you don't like horror movies because they terrify you and you stay up all night thinking about it then you should watch VHS. It's good clean family entertainment. Be forewarned though, you should watch it alone at midnight in your room with the lights off.

I recently saw First Aid Kit, such a great duo! And Florence and the Machine. Every other Sunday night I'm at The Dakota listening to The Beauties.

And I cook food like a blue streak. I'm a phenom.

Books
Beer
My chef knife
My trusty bicycle
Coffee
Not giving a fuck

Uhm... politics, literature, and how to spend more time taking it easy. I think I've stretched the taking it easy to its limit, but I'm hoping that quantum physics will find a new and better secret dimension where taking it easy is a form of work. I will excel at that kind of work.

Either drinking at a pub, I can't stand the crazy crowds so usually small-ish less well known pubs, unless I'm watching a band, in which case the more the merrier, or I'm reading or writing something.

I played Dungeons & Dragons when I was in elementary school. And in highschool.

You like listening to music and reading interesting things and talking about those two things while drinking beer or coffee, or first coffee and then beer.
