i live and breathe brains all day.

im a former future problem solver.

books, films. playing the piano. good cheese and good beer. food inventions, preferably stuffed, on a stick, batter dipped and deep fried. top 5 lists. gauloise blonde legeres but parliaments will do. condiments and sauces of all kinds.

spring snow. jude the obscure. the complete book of cheese. persuasion. the culinaria series, especially european specialties. the hero and the crown. kiss of the spider woman. a girl of the limberlost. lolita. tully. on seeing the 100% perfect girl one beautiful april morning. read the memory keepers daughter after silvia recommended it... love it.

rushmore. trouble in paradise. edward scissorhands. scarface (both versions). l.a. confidential. say anything. all the real girls. in the mood for love. secretary. you can count on me. eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. the virgin suicides. whats eating gilbert grape. the road home. oldboy. before sunset. hustle and flow. once. newest favorite movie: i fell asleep while trying to watch a chorus line, but did wake up to watch (and rewatch) "what i did for love" -- whatever the rest of the movie, that song is beautiful.

top 5 favorite songs these days (no particular order). samson, on the radio, better, fidelity, summer in the city (all regina spektor). these songs made a long mexican bus ride seem short. lots of room for thought.

i like to pick the music on the jukebox. i don't like foods that change my mouth colors. wine makes me black out and a good cheese can make me cry. i like lavender honey with crackers, and listening to a really great song on repeat. i like zingermans.com and imdb.com. i don't like it when people jiggle their feet, although i do it sometimes too. i like yoshitomo nara's sad angry girls and the color grey. i don't like people who say a lot of unnecessary things. i like black ink pens that write thin on thick sheets of paper, and i like my fingernails cut short. also, i like festivals and fairs of all kinds. something about all the kids running around, and looking at all the random stuff people are selling, and the smell of fried dough. and, i really like running.
