I'm pretty chill most of the time, I like fruit a lot, and I'm kinda good at scrabble.

here are a few more things:

it may be that, having survived the transition period, i should start calling myself a resident of boston. i want you to know how ambivalent i feel about that.

please tell me if you think you can sway my opinion of this city in either direction.

i like both the city and the countryside, but keep me well away from whatever's in between.

I wear a lot of different shirts. maybe you will like some of them.

architecture school & its attendant phenomena: eating at strange hours, running to and from printers, coffee always. too-serious discussions about the future of the discipline interrupted for more beer. consistent and nagging regret that i didnt follow my heart, get a degree in cinematography, and never look back as i ride with an air of determination into a future spent filming close-ups of neon colored consumer products. oh, well.

time spent: petting cats and making cocktails and refining the formula that goes "pasta plus arugula plus x => ... "

becoming radicalized; becoming radical.

throwing frisbees
making scambled eggs
off the cuff cultural critique
basic math
photographing furniture
personification

i dont know the answer to this anymore

fiction: recently been into spanish and south american literature in translation (bolano, castellanos moya, & marias, notably); classically and maybe permanently into the tin drum, toni morrison, kurt vonnegut, and japanese modernism.

nonfiction: theory books (frankfurt school, french post-structuralism, american gender & queer theory), architecture books (critical and descriptive), photography books (recently: zoe leonard, nobuyoshi araki, william eggleston)

movies: david lynch (esp. mulholland dr. and twin peaks: fwwm), eternal sunshine, shortbus, mallrats was underrated, but i'm a cheerleader & similar, chinatown & other films noir, diva, werner herzog (esp. aguirre and into the abyss), mean girls

shows: buffy, x-files, twin peaks, pretty little liars (yup), game of thrones, downton abbey, freaks and geeks, parks and rec, project runway, zoids

music: sonic youth, neutral milk hotel, olivia tremor control & other elephant 6 bands (sunshine fix, gerbils), indie pop from 1985-present (tiger trap, go sailor, gaze, widowspeak, grass widow), pixies, hip-hop (nas, dipset, clipse), folk/antifolk (jeffrey lewis, diane cluck), 90s indie rock (pavement, built to spill, GBV), radiohead, and some old punx (germs, screamers). whitney, mariah, and robyn. the talking heads. yo la tengo.

food: i love to cook and eat and will try anything
but mostly watercress.

design, the politics of media and image, gender and identity, how things work, fashion, street art, how interesting it would be to make 20 second videos of everything, manmade landscapes, and what suburbia is

but also: cats and fruit

at a concert
drinking and dancing
drinking and not dancing
projecting a movie on the wall; watching it

but until it's too cold: beers on the roof

i don't like orange juice
or marinara sauce

you're always up for inspired mischief
you get really into political discussions about dumb tv shows
you love cashews
you want to make cocktails all the time
you actually do make cocktails all the time
you want to go to concerts
