I am a happy go lucky, brainy, silly, analytical, and boozy southern expat (with charming accent)/medio latino. I am an interesting mass of many contradictions. I have a very loud laugh and a quiet indoors voice. I dork out on food, music, news, politics, tennis, fashion, and wine.

Enjoying the hell out of it.

Making playlists, inventing meals, picking restaurants, navigating wine lists, statistics, critical/radical analysis of social and economic phenomenon.

Food: Southern food, Spanish, French, Japanese, Indian, dim sum, sandwiches - I eat most everything (I cook new things and eat out as much as possible - it's my primary hobby)

Music: Bowie, Grizzly Bear, Animal Collective, Deerhunter (my favorite live band), Yelle, Toro y Moi, I still love house music, Led Zeppelin, the Smiths, Yo La Tengo, Stereolab, Eno, Blur, PJ Harvey, Jimmy Smith, Bobby Short, Judy Garland, Donizetti

Movies: Hable con Ella, Showgirls, Blue, Kung Fu Hustle, Bringing Up Baby, Vertigo, All About Eve

TV: Venture Brothers, Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, Archer, RHOA, TOWIE

Books: The Winter of Our Discontent, The Swimming Pool Library, Song of Solomon, Europe and the People Without History, Pragmatism and the Political Economy of the Cultural Revolution - I've got an academic background so I read entirely too much non-fiction (which I love)

drinking just enough so that i can have fun and still make it to tennis and/or yoga the next day
