About Me

Currently building a life in Santa Cruz, which I will likely leave for grad school. Life is like a mud castle in a high-gravity field and a torrential downpour, but so much dancing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In case anyone wanders into me and wants to say hello. Once I'm established, perhaps there will be a larger point.

All of them except memorizing biology and making small cellphones.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books - Kurt Vonnegut Jr., The Birth and Death of Meaning, Ishamel, The Plague, Douglas Adams, anything on the nature of mathematics (Alex's Adventures in Numberland, for example)

Music - Old punk bands, classic rock, silly pop songs. I enjoy dancing to anything thats fun to dance to.

Movie/TV - I generally avoid watching things but when I get sucked in, Fringe, Dr. Who

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent more than a year going to school and being homeless. I slept on a rooftop for most of that time, and crashed on a few different couches when it rained. I spent two weeks at one point that year not spending a single dime.

Teach, Learn, Share

Poetry - How a thing is made.

Mathematics - Sets! Infinity! Algebra!

Physics - F=dp/dt, whee!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Damn near anything poorly, some things better than that. Chop veggies and clean, mop. Babbling about science or poetry, Lazic!
