Morceaux de musique, films et livres

And onto my favorite question-- MEDIA!

Music is my life. I listen to anything from jazz, hip hop, metal, neo-classical, classic rock and everything in between! I love going to gigs and exploring new sounds.

Books: Charles Bukowiski, Chuck Palahniuk, Beat poetry, David Sedaris, Phillip K Dick, Kurt Vonnegut, Neil Gaiman, Carlos Castaneda, Jhonen Vasquez (Invader Zim), Tolstoy, Chomsky, Mary Roach, sociology/psychology books, technical books by shady Russians...

Movies: I have a very short attention span when it comes to movies and I love movies that make me think or laugh-- Amelie, Donnie Darko, Waking Life, Ghost in the Shell I and II, Pan's Labyrinth, Snatch, Lola Rennt, Children of Men, Fight Club, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Requiem for a Dream, Pi, etc. I am a cinematography freak, so I love moves that are well-shot and composed. A good soundtrack is a bonus too...

If you've gotten this far, I'm impressed.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Went on a week-long kayaking expedition on the western coast of Scotland with no previous kayaking experience (and substandard gear) and ended up in the beautiful Sound of Arisaig.
