ABOUT ME

I've just moved to NYC after a stint as a film festival programmer in the Pacific NW. I've been wandering around the city, exploring the arty movie theaters and cheap ethnic foods (20 "yummy cakes" for a dollar? Don't mind if I do!). Sometimes I bake pies.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything in moderation, including moderation.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a nice little apartment with a view of a park. No couch right now, but when I get one, you'll be the first to know! In the meantime, I'm happy to meet up and show you around the city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had an incredible time couchsurfing in Germany during summer 2009. People were so warm, trusting, and friendly, showing me aspects of their city that I never would have found otherwise. I have yet to host anybody, but am certainly looking forward to demonstrating the same level of hospitality that I've received.

Интересы

Walking long distances, films (all kinds), karaoke, a whole bunch of writers and musicians, books about science for non-technically-minded people, whatever food you put in front of me.

Музыка, кино и книги

Books: Nathaniel West, David Foster Wallace (RIP), Flannery O'Connor, many more.

Movies: So many. Chinatown, Rois et Reine, Picnic at Hanging Rock, McCabe & Mrs Miller, The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, Annie Hall, horror movies, 1930s sex comedies...

Music: My favorite song these days is "Bitters End" by Roxy Music, and my favorite single moment in a song is probably the way Ray Davies sings 'vodka on the rocks' in "Alcohol" by The Kinks.
