Music, Movies, and Books

Just read Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky, which I found amazing. Recently read the Women in the Dunes by Kobo Abe, which I also quite enjoyed. I generally enjoy many different kinds of literature. Stanley Kubrick is my favorite director and I adore Stephen King. I like most music as well - Grizzly Bear, Dr. Dog, the Walkmen, and Beach House are some of my favorite contemporary bands. I am also a big fan of the Ruby Suns, who are a Kiwi band. I was delighted to see them in Washington, DC about a year ago.

Teach, Learn, Share

I bring a scattered and eclectic knowledge that ranges from political theory to mythical beasts and the many random subjects in between. I highly value learning new things and ideally imparting novel thoughts on others.
