About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to find my niche...

ABOUT ME

I like interesting people and interesting conversation. I am a geek at heart, but I do enjoy the occasional party. I love good food, good friends, and good jokes, but not always in that order.

PHILOSOPHY

When you look back on your life, it won't be the things you failed at that you regret...it will be the things you never tried.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not the kind of person who is a die hard fan of a band.
Musically, I am very unfaithful.

I think music in clubs is all about atmosphere... If the music turns people into monsters, then I don't want to know. There's a time and a place for all music...

AT THE MOMENT I'M LOVING:
unknown mortal orchestra
Goldfrapp
St Vincent
John Grant

READING
air,
zero 7,
morcheeba,
the flaming lips,
belle and sebastian,
Thievery Corp
Cinematic Orchestra

KARAOKE!
andy williams,
frank sinatra,
motown,
elvis

when im out, i want to hear anykind of dirty dirty techno! funky beats and strange lyrics...
I love live music above all!

I like intelligent films, with twists if possible. And i hate films with torture.

fight club, lucky number seven, the science of sleep, moonrise kingdom, my neighbour totoro, the machinist, holy motors, juno

primos, cronocrimenes, los ojos de julia, el orfanato, la isla mínima

enferme dehors, amelie
