I don't live in San Francisco anymore -- I really don't live anywhere, actually, and I quite enjoy that. Soon to be Mexico for a bit, and then who knows.

I really cannot figure out if I take everything or nothing seriously.

In new places I like to wander around aimlessly, smell things, and pick leaves into tiny pieces.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Alt-J. Aretha Franklin. Bonobo. Brahms. Diplo. Jeremih. John Wizards. Lauryn Hill. MIA. Yo-yo Ma... One of my favorite nights started at the Berlin Philharmonie, went on to sing pop songs at karaoke, and ended in a sweaty, smokey, red-lit trap den. All of that's good.

Movies: Death to Smoochy. Harold and Maude. Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. I've also been dying to watch Men In Black again lately, for reasons I cannot explain.

Books: The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Pale Fire. Just Kids. Narcissus und Goldmund. Anna Karenina (that's mostly a brag that I finished it). I just realized that for the first time in my life, I'm starting to finish the books that I start.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

2016 drove from Germany to Mongolia over 6 months, living in a Eurovan named Bulliver with a German dreamboat named Kay.
