I'm from California. I often laugh about the absurdity of life.

I graduated with a degree in Art History which is relevant to the fact that I've recently found myself unemployed. If you have any tips for keeping one's sanity while unemployed, or know of any (esp cash) jobs please don't hesitate to drop me a line.

I started running way back in December. It's hard. That's the only thing I like about it.

keeping perspective.

my hair and probably my tattoos.

I'm currently reading Sailing Alone Around the World and Swerve. And Big Breasts, Wide Hips. And Macbeth. I'm not really the one-book-at-a-time type of gal.

Movies: Cave of Forgotten Dreams, God Grew Tired of Us, 8 1/2, Pulp Fiction, There Will Be Blood, The Princess Bride, The Third Man, The Big Sleep / The Big Lebowski, Man on Wire, Haute Tension.

My only aversion is to pop music. Specific faves include: Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, the Black Keys, the Decemberists, Avett Brothers, Al Green, Serge Gainsbourg, Bach, Lou Reed, Tom Waits, Jimi Hendrix, Andrew Bird, Bob Dylan, Queen, Manu Chao, Diamanda Galas.

I know my way around a kitchen and love food. That being said, avocados and sriracha complement almost any dish.

Podcasts: This American Life, Best of the Left, Democracy Now, NPR (Fresh Air, Live Concerts...), the Moth, Stuff You Should Know.

Louie, the Walking Dead, the Daily Show, Colbert Report, Doctor Who, Downton Abbey, Girls. If we're being honest... True Blood.

My bicycles, something to read, music, coffee, a great stoop, my camera (assuming this excludes the obvious).

the very nature of things.

Friday is just like any other day for me. I may venture out with friends or spend a quiet night at home.

I question everything.

any of the above struck a chord with you.

Or, if you can make me laugh. Tambien si quieres practicar el español conmigo.
