Recently moved to the city; right now just looking to get to know more people here and go out and have fun. I like going to art museums & exhibits, restaurants (especially Thai, Mexican, or anything I've never tried before), concerts & dance clubs (eclectic tastes but country & mainstream hip-hop are out, anything that can trace its roots to waxtrax or metropolis is excellent), orchestra, bookstores & book clubs, plays & dance performances, and indie & foreign film. I read a whole lot, I like doing it at cafes, but I'm also not above treating a bar like a cafe and reading over a snooty beer or glass of shiraz. I like to run and hike and generally spend time outdoors. I like science (we are a way for the cosmos to know itself!), and taking walks, and following whims, and always finding things to laugh about.
My Ideal Person:
Someone intelligent, witty, fun-loving, curious, decent, and who sometimes comes up with unpredictable ideas. Other than that, you tell me.
The last great book I read
Invisible Cities. Currently reading & enjoying the
Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, Microcosm,
and The Omnivore's Dilemma (along with everyone and
their grandmothers), and re-reading Revelation Space
and If On A Winter's Night A Traveler.
The celebrity I resemble the most
Depends what kind of day I'm having. I've heard
John Elway on bad days, Adam Baldwin on so-so days, Daniel
Craig on apparently spectacular days, and Guy Pearce on anterograde-amnesiac days (or at least that's
what my little note says).
Five items I can't live without
modern medicine (is that too literal?), my running shoes,
vintage Chinese kung fu films (one of the simple pleasures
of life), the indie coffee shop near my office where the
owner can often be seen making pastries or getting my coffee
in the morning, and corporate America. NO NOT THAT! I mean,
my foam roller.
In my bedroom one will find...
just enough of an effort at interior design to say I'm
a grownup with a real job and not a student any more, but not
enough to disturb the carefully thought out impression
of a rugged outdoorsy individualist who doesn't give it any thought.
