HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I have an actual apartment now (hurray!) with zero furniture. But I've got an inflatable air mattress for couch surfers and aspirations of more furniture in the future. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I couch surf. And soon I will host.

On music, things are all over the map. They're coming out in pairs for some reason... some Ulrich Schnauss and Bent remixes. Royksopp and Flunk. Miles Davis and Wynton Marsalis. Alan Hovhaness and Beethoven, Emmylou Harris and some of the quieter Johnny Cash songs. Moby, the Eels, Feist, David Bowie. Deltron 3030 and Janelle Monae's first album. Lady Gaga. All kinds of trashy dance music. And trashy pop music :) And books- One hundred years of solitude knocked me off my feet for a while. I also like John Irving, Margaret Atwood, Mary Carr, and Michael Gruber. Movies are hard. I'll skip those for right now. I certainly watch a lot of them though.
