One Amazing Thing I've Done
I don't really know what constitutes amazing, but riding a horse at sunset in the mountains of Andalucia with a new friend is one that comes to mind. Maybe that's quotidian or cliche to some, but it's perfect in so many ways.
My Interests
I seem to be addicted to going to shows and listening to new music. I was a DJ at Mutiny Radio (formerly Pirate Cat) in San Francisco (fridays, 8-10pm, podcast here: http://podcasts.pcrcollective.org/Canary), but am now studying independent radio in Rome. I really like to work out, running is my poison of choice. We all have our addictions. Cooking would be another one. Right now I've been making delicious pizzas, so good you won't miss the cheese at all I promise. Oh and bread. Lots of bread making goin on. I'm not a huge party monster, but I do like to kick it on occasion and music is my life so I am always going to fun shows.
