Music ranges wildly, find myself always able to listen to Ratatat, the XX, most downbeat electronica. I listen to everything, though, and enjoy it more and more every time :) Movies are also very eclectic. Really liked 'the Fall' Also, Captain Fantastic describes my childhood, and the Martian describes a future I want to see. Books: Sanderson, Pratchett, Tolkien, Martin, Rothfuss, Funke, Rowling, Jacques, Lewis, Asimov, Clarke, Herbert, Card, Adams, and plenty of nonfiction, too. People just don't know the last names of nonfiction authors like they do fiction. Or maybe they do! Pinker, Kahneman, Gladwell, Arendt, Shulgin.

Took a couple month long bicycle trip down the western side of South America with a close friend. No Couchsurfing then, sadly, but we did end up spending quite a few nights on couches.
