Music, Movies, and Books

Bon Iver and Sigur Ros make up the soundtrack, and a little Eddie Vedder. All things folk, the Avett Brothers and Emmylou. Saul Williams is a bit of a prophet. When I settle in one place for a while I think I'll join a book club and read more things by Wendel Berry and Charles Dickens.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saw flamingos lounging around my village in Mozambique.
