ABOUT ME

I'm "in a relationship" with Life and "it's complicated". We bicker sometimes, but in the end, I really do love it and I feel it loves me back.

PHILOSOPHY

In eo movemur et sumus.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

J'ai un compte, pis toute. Je contribue aussi à la perpétuation de l'idée que CS N'EST PAS un site de "dating".

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Snazzy.

Interests

I study French literature - la littérature française. Mais, comme le dit Ducharme:

Un ciel de lit regarda un ciel et lui dit:
-Je ne suis pas un ciel de lit. Je suis un ciel.
Un ciel, qui ne voulait pas être pris pour un ciel de lit par les autres ciels, regarda les autres ciels et leur dit:
-Je suis un ciel. Je ne suis pas un ciel de lit.
Je ne suis pas un homme de lettres. Je suis un homme.

(A canopy («a bed-sky») looks at a sky and tells him:
"I am not a canopy. I am a sky."
A sky, that did not want to be taken for a canopy by other skies, looked at the other skies and told them:
"I am a sky. I am not a canopy."
I am not a man of literature. I am a man.)

Music, Movies, and Books

Yeah, there's a character limit here. I'll try to be concise:

Sober:
Léolo (1992) - Jean-Claude Lauzon
Bach's Goldberg Variations played by Gould (1955 version) / Argerich
Le quatrième siècle - Édouard Glissant / Walden - Thoreau

A beer or two:
Funny Games (1997) by Michael Haneke
Any one of Brassens' albums / Most of Tom Waits' / Some of Dylans'
Alcools - Apollinaire

Tipsy:
A Kubrick
Charades - The Shivers
Joyce, Kerouac, Ducharme

Sloshed:
Enter the Void (2009) - Gaspard Noé / Old Boy (2003) - Chan-wook Park
Cosmogramma - Flying Lotus
Une saison en enfer - Rimbaud / Rousseau, read out loud

Ridiculously non-exhaustive; open and seeking new directions. But there's a start!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being born was brilliant.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach me Russian, I'll teach you alpine skiing.
Teach me scuba diving, I'll teach you French literature.
Teach me how to make a mille-feuilles, I'll teach you how to build a bike wheel.
Teach me about M-Theory, I'll explore the intricacies of the sonata form with you.

Et cetera, ad nauseam :)
