Music, Movies, and Books

Adrian and Erica like to watch dark comedies and documentaries. They listen to all sorts of music, ranging from classic rock to electronica, trip-hop to metal, jazz to emo, golden-era hip-hop to epic classical shit like Mozart, Dvorak, Tchaikovsky, Schuller and Liszt.

Adrian likes books with graphs and table figures in them. Erica likes too many kinds of books to list, but would like to point out that she thinks the twilight series is a travesty, so much so that she refuses to capitalize it as if it were an actual book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Adrian rode his fixxie with Al Sharpton while on a trip in NYC. Erica partied so hard in Isla Vista that she almost died. Then she went to Tokyo and partied so hard that she almost died again. She is a little chiller now, but it was legit and she still feels young and indestructible and is grateful for the awesome fodder for her writing that she gained from near-death experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

Cooking/Baking skills [Erica would like to teach and learn] Any languages we speak or our surfers speak.

Adrian loves to have intellectual conversation.
