Music, Movies, and Books

Authors I'm really enjoying at the moment: Hemingway, Melville, Hughes, well Langston Hughes is more of poet so that's a different category but a good transition into Music i.e. bands I can't get enough of at the moment:
The B52's, Haircut 100, XTC, Best Coast, Deerhunter, BRMC.
FInally a movie I just saw and really liked: Sunset Boulevard

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There was this one time, when I was tubing down the Touttle River in Washington State, and we found this epic rope swing, which was cool but then this drunk guy nearly drown and my friend and I had to pull him out of the rapids. Eventually we made it to where my sister was waiting to pick us up in her pick up truck and then we had a Barbecue.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've had quite a bit of experience building things from homes to flutes to sailboats. I'm interested in learning more about Sailing during my stay in Konstanz and perhaps improving my modest Knitting skills.
