CURRENT MISSION

Rediscovering myself and my friends.

ABOUT ME

Uh, let's see... I'm a vegetarian. Stereotype me from that and see where it gets you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've just met people who've surfed with my friends so far, but they've been really interesting people and I've enjoyed hanging out with them.

Interests

Music, politics, current events (especially starting conversations with "I heard this thing on NPR today about..."), history, trivia, laughing as much as possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
I like all kinds of music and enjoy discovering new things. I'm not an expert on any genre or group and don't like to get bogged down in labels. I just like what I like. A solid sampling: Air, Arcade Fire, Beastie Boys, Belle and Sebastian, Bloc Party, Camper van Beethoven, Chemical Brothers, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Martin Craft, CCR, The Cure, The Dandy Warhols, Death Cab for Cutie, The Decemberists, Erol Alkan, Foo Fighters, Franz Ferdinand, Go Home Productions, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Jose Gonzalez, The Go! Team, Guster, Hot Chip, Justice, Kaiser Chiefs, King Creosote, Kissy Sell Out, The Knife, Krafty Kutz, Ladytron, Led Zeppelin, Annie Mac, The Magic Numbers, Matthew Sweet, Modest Mouse, Mos Def, My Bloody Valentine, Peter Bjorn and John, Radiohead, Ratatat, Sam Sparro, Scissor Sisters, Sebastien Tellier, Kevin Shields, Shy FX, Sigur Ros, Simian Mobile Disco, The Smiths, Soulwax, The Streets, Switch, Talib Kweli, Talking Heads, They Might Be Giants, Thievery Corporation, TV on the Radio, Ugly Casanova, Velvet Underground, Weezer, The Who, Wilco, Zero 7.
And pretty much anything live.

TV:
The Wire, Freaks and Geeks, Arrested Development, Six Feet Under, LOST, Deadwood, Coupling, The Office (BBC). Honestly I don't even have cable and usually watch this stuff online or through Netflix. If I had cable I'd veg in front of the Discovery Channel, History Channel, etc.

Movies:
Don't really have a list of favorite movies, though I enjoy a good flick. Lately I've been making my way through the canon of must-see movies that I've never seen with the help of Netflix. Lots of spaghetti Westerns recently.

Books:
Mostly nonfiction these days.
