CURRENT MISSION

How do they make those marachino cherries?

PHILOSOPHY

I'm pretty fucking compassionate, but I don't take myself too seriously. It tires me out after awhile. Better to drink tea and appreciate the finer points of Al Green.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Listening closely and then shouting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While my profile is relatively new, I've had dozens of surfers through my house courtesy of roommates' CS profiles. The best ones were from Austria because of the way they giggled. The worst ones were from Poughkeepsie because who can pronounce that.

兴趣

Jazz and its cross-cultural cousins, nature, beer brewing, cat-dealing-with.

音乐、电影和书籍

Shantaram, Naked Lunch, Zen & the Art, Vonnegut, Rushdie, David Foster Wallace, and that new Predators movie with Adrien Brodie. Did you see that? How did he end up there in the first place?

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I saw a little down syndrome girl get an autistic boy to stop crying by tying his shoes once. She did better than me.

教，学，和分享

I'm a better listener than talker. Although when I talk, I've found that people pretty much have to listen to what I have to say, and that can be hilarious. Tuna niçoise ice cream. OK, your turn.
