About Me

my myers-briggs personality type is ENFP (or it was last time i checked)... "captain wildchild, scourge of the swimming pool". same as mark twain, apparently. i think that says something? itchy feet, at the very least.

doing my best to stay in this wild present tense, to be consistent with myself, and to strike that balance between ferocity and gentleness, hedonism and a higher consciousness. siga siga, piano piano, langsam oder gar nicht.

when i feel like it, i play my ukulele and sing on the street and sometimes people give me money for it but mostly i just want to make them smile.

we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively... it's just a ride.

live every day as if it were your first. be curious, keep wondering/ wandering.

Music, Movies, and Books

anything really from klezmer to grunge to post punk to antifolk to americana to disco to trip hop to afrobeat to swing to soul to house to roots, etc. preferably not black metal though, it makes me feel a bit ill. http://www.lastfm.de/user/frances_k

filmwise; shortbus, der himmel ueber berlin, angst essen seele auf, black cat white cat, la haine, tideland, brazil, a bout de souffle, ghost world, coffee and cigarettes... i've given up on hollywood, more non-english language films please.

i invariably have a stack of half-read books by my bed. give me ali smith any time. jeanette winterson is a heady treat for duvet days, milan kundera for the delightful smattering of highlightable aphorisms, hermann hesse and aldous huxley to unlock the galactical doors.
