soup eater extraordinaire

Farmers markets, Italian dessert wines, beer festivals, cheap scorpion bowls from polynesian themed restaurants, artificially modifying the weather, green architecture, organic baking, juice fasting, finding the right balance between punk rock-hippie-yuppie, finding the right balance between drunk-foodie-gym rat, talking to strange people in strange places

On Food and Cooking, Cheese Primer, The Omnivore's Dilemma, Moneyball, Anything Michael Moore and Gregory Maguire, Bringing Down the House, Harry Potter, my weekly New Yorker, missed connections on Craig's List

Spellbound (the documentary), Revenge of the Nerds, all Pixar and Spike & Mike films

Sonic Youth, Starflyer 59, Yo la Tengo, Joy Division, My Morning Jacket, and for some reason only Swiz and Iconoclast when I work out - hardcore roots anyone?

I would say The Office, but my life has become scarily similar to that

Holy crap I just ran my first marathon!! I'm usually the happiest (and simultaneously bitchiest) girl in the world. Sometimes too hyper and abrasive, could definitely learn a lesson or two about calming down. Finally convinced myself that running first thing in the morning is the best thing ever - it's the getting up part that's the challenge. New Year's Eve/Day is my favorite holiday, I love the idea of possibility. I want to spend my life traveling, but always be able to come home to Boston. I'm an annoying know-it-all who has a constant need to know everything about everything, yet I still never seem to win at pub trivia (hopefully they have consolation shots!) Mostly a vegetarian, but curious about food in general, so like to at least try everything once. Chances are you'll find me on the patio at Shay's if it's nice out.

People who aren't creepy. People to eat cheese plates with. People who make me want to be a better person. People who want to go on road trips to New England microbreweries. People to help me train better for my next marathon.
