I am a scuba diving, viola shredding, pierogie making echinodermophile with a passion for renaissance music and Austrian fin de siecle composers. You can find me speeding around on my roadbike whistling whole symphonies, and I cover everything I own in fake flowers.

Experiencing an explosion of interests and proving to the world that I am a total dilletante. I work at a deep sea research lab surrounded by crazy shit fixed in jars. My favorite specimen is a deep sea pycnogonid. Really my life goal is to start a klezmer indonesian beleganjur fusion band that sings songs about the ocean.

Drinking mass quantities of beer
hula hooping
knitting hats that stop fitting after a week
petting cats
making BORSCHT
pretending to be able to identify edible wild plants
petting cats
playing scales
and drinking coffee

I smell like curry and my hands are dirty.

Bulgakov's "The Master and Margarita" (also the russian tv show- that thing is wild!) Anything by Lewis Thomas- but mostly "The Lives of a Cell", Haruki Murakami, Neil Shubin.. and the coral reef ID series.

Lars von Trier, Werner Herzog, Federico Fellini, Krzysztof Kieślowski, Andrzej Wajda, "The Magic Flute" by Ingmar Bergman, The Brothers Quay, Jan Swankmejer, Fantasia old and new.

My favorite musical eras are medieval/ renaissance but holy jesus christ I love romantic german/ austrian composers. Out of all the Mahler symphonies, my favorite is the 4th and you can all suck it ye 5th and 2nd symphony lovers (I like them too they just aren't my favorite).

Music
Bicycles
Beets with horseradish
My big beautiful Bratsche
The Sun
Friends
Boxes filled with costumes

daydreams- somedays I am a pirate slicing through a tightly coiled rope, or I am a tiny bug riding a pod of wheat in a field, or I am riding into a battle, or I am foraging for the winter etc etc....

with my friends, making snowflakes and paper cranes and playing music and covering our faces in glitter and paint, and singing and hula hooping and starting fires...bon fires.

I sleep with a large body pillow sized catfish that has been signed by Jean-Michel Cousteau.

ITS TIME FOR THE PERCOLATOR
