About Me

I spend too much time reading articles from The Atlantic.
I'm terrible at remembering song lyrics.

I love getting to know people's view on the subjects of truth, belief and fiction - I think life is basically about those things, and knowing how to respect someone else's view.

I'm a great pancake and cookie maker, no joke. Apart from that, I only know how to cook spaghetti and fry meat.

Music, Movies, and Books

[On Music]

I got a huge unexplainable love for Pixies and a obsession for Laura Marling.

Aside from them, lately I've been listening to a lot of Led Zeppelin, Bert Jansch, Dorival Caymmi, Phillip Glass, Tom Zé...

My favorite songs come probably from Fiona Apple, Regina Spektor and Alt-J.

[On Movies]

Movies that kicked me on the butt, the head and the heart: Hiroshima, Mon Amour. Mulholland Drive. A Syndrome and a Century. Blade Runner. Under the Skin. The Royal Tennebaums. Nobody Knows. Still Life.

[On Books]

Just finished some loving on Song of Myself, by Walt Whitman. O Guardador de Rebanhos, Alberto Caeiro (or Fernando Pessoa). Liked a lot Slaughter House Five, Portraits of the Artist as a Young Man and Notes from the Underground. Got myself reading Phillip Roth now, Nemesis.
