The English Patient, Capote, A Very Long Engagement, The Thin Red Line, The Hours, Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi, Naqoyqatsi, Elizabeth, Amelie . . . basically movies that make my friends fall asleep, I've found. If you can stay awake for these, we should talk.

J.S. Bach, Arvo Paert, Perotin, Mahler, Philip Glass, Ligeti, Handel, Gorecki, Schubert's lieder, Shostakovich, Biber. . . largely Baroque and before + 20th Century . . . my musical tastes are somewhat bizarre, and I kind of like it that way, which is why I don't tell you that I'll also listen to many other genre outside of classical - like Latin for instance, which I've just discovered I quite like (and I don't mean the chanty type with monks and such, although that's fun too)

don't do that - but I'm not judging

well friends, my four years in Boston have been fun, but now it's time to get on with my life. I'll be off to Cornell in the fall for a grueling three and a half years of miserable weather and many sleepless nighs spent in architecture studio. however I can't say that I'm not looking forward to it.

I suspect I will be back - and probably often, so no need to worry (unless you are anxiously counting down the days of my departure)

so I have all this vacation time to use up over the summer. if I don't end up on some crazy road trip to Newfoundland and Labrador, or Alaska with James (and others?) I will be looking for hiking/backpacking partners, and for those of you who don't like fresh air and bugs and such, I'll also be looking for people to travel to Montreal with. of course, if you have other suggestions as to how I should spend my summer, I'm all ears - just as long as they're low in budget yet high in entertainment/adventure

surprise me!
