+whatever television you watch is no concern of mine but understand
that no matter how badly i want to impress you i will immediately
blank on any show references. feel free to throw tropes about
weather or the F train instead+
foodwise? i like street food and night markets. hereabouts, i like
ottomanelli's and anything in one of the various chinatowns. i'll
drive to baltimore if i'm craving a good crab cake. i like going to
H-Mart and looking for the octopuses in the tanks and seven-kilo
bags of kimchi. mitsuwa.
+i'm pretty unlikely to be found in any joint with the word
"artisanal" anywhere anything; or less likely, any place with a
dress code+
i like pho, banh mi and durian. i abhor dressing up and would wear
my standard work uniform of jeans/tee/sneaks/hoodie all day and
night every day if i could. sometimes i do.
i watch what i eat in the sense that i try to eat as low on the
food chain as i possibly can. it's hard for me to enjoy
extravagances when i think about how many people can't find daily
basics.
you foodies can all go fuck yourselves. serious.

yoshitomo nara. all his stuff speaks to me so strongly that i need
to namecheck him somewhere. he's a standing ebay search. no big
deal maybe but my only other searches are for jeep parts and a good
woman. not so many listings for women on ebay, though.
