I take lots of photos and sometimes I get paid for them, at which point I usually buy things like food and books. The last six years have involved moving 9 times, sometimes down the hall and sometimes across the ocean. NEVER AGAIN (at least till 2013)! The trajectory's been loosely between NY, VA, Korea, and here.

At various times the itchy feet have lead to gruesome beards and shaved heads. If I were tech savvy I'd give you a little infographic showing hair/place relation; as it is, I'm an English major who likes theory and composition, so no luck.

I'm in a committed open relationship, serious enough to have a ring on it. I hear that there are many labels for this (besides the rude ones). If you have a question, feel free to ask.

People > Profiles. Reader! We should have met casually, with air conditioning & beverages. I'm always torn between paying close attention to a profile to up the chance of meeting vs. barely skimming it, so that if we do meet there's more to unravel. Dilemma. Solutions?

[edit--changed bi to straight. not cause men aren't a possibility--they're just not top preference, and I feel like a dick for leading nice guys on.]

Commuting in the wrong direction and loving the empty el car. Making pictures and talking/reading a lot. Looking forward to escaping back to academia from the dive bars to which I used to escape from academia.

Minutely tweaking phrasing based on the weather.
----------
killing time here and there by flag-modding for OKC. epic fun.

Enabling. Hating on binaries--noting light sources--looking out windows. Gerunds and participles.

Hair. I read it in a magazine.

12 Oz. Mouse. Anything with a little complexity and narrative, or bright colors and explosions. Southland Tales, Wong Kar Wai, Takashi Miike.
The bookshelf starts with Kobo Abe and stops after Slavoj Zizek. 2 or more by Bulgakov, Calvino, Cortazar....

Wouldn't this be more fun in person? I will listen, then respond. Charm! Looks! Summertime!

But back to it:
Das Racist and tequila bases. Electric fans.

Buckets of kimchi.

garlic
glass
perspective lines
yeast
pavement
words
numbers?

Where everyone disappears to in the winter. Whether to order Two Hearted or PranQster. Can I get by without shaving? Where's the damn bus? Is this coffee still good?

On the midnight thrift walk
or at an art opening or
drinking from a flask
or thinking Saturday better be cooler than this.

Sometimes three or 4 at once, like a mobile Venn diagram.

I once wanted to know all the 3 letter Scrabble words.
Different versions of this happen again and again.

And I rented the room of former Ms. Kansas in Rego Park, Queens for 3 months in the summer of 2006. Spent most of it with a busted chin, eating blintzes and reading her copy of The Devil Wears Prada. There's both more and less to the story.

you can talk, think, drink (coffee, alcohol, water, ...)

you've got an understanding of "committed open relationship"
(or are interested enough to write me a short message asking)
