HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I don't quite know yet. I heard about it from a friend and it sounded like a cool idea. I haven't been a member very long but it sounded like a great idea to be able to meet people who can advise me on points of interest and hopefully make new friends in the process. So I figured I would give it a try. I don't have much in the way to offer a surfer. Just a floor at this point but if someone really needs to stay with me they are more than welcome. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE A lot of my traveling has been to cities that friends live in and I have spent a lot of time on couches. I spent two weeks in San Francisco once and only slept on the same couch twice. It was awesome!

Music tastes are often changing. Currently I have been listening to a lot of Rufus Wainwright, the Arctic Monkeys and the Fratellis. As far as books go, I am a really big Douglas Adams fan. I have been on a pseudo-philosophy kick of late and have enjoyed titles such as "Einstein's Brain," "Little Book of Atheist Spirituality," "God's Debris." Apart from that, I guess I do like Christopher Rice, Tom Stoppard and Tolkein just to name a few. And movies is a long subject but I will name a few titles that I really enjoy: Price of Milk, the Red Violin, Requiem for Dream, Titus, Across the Universe, the Boondock Saints, the Big Lebowski, the Dark Knight and many more.
