Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh, I need to read more... Mostly http://the-toast.net & The New Yorker.

In Bruges and Drop Dead Gorgeous. Also, L'Auberge Espagnol, The Scent of Green Papaya, Caddyshack, The Station Agent. Woody Allen, Wes Anderson, anything Bill Murray or visually-striking.

30Rock, Bob's Burgers, Welcome to Sweden, Arrested Development, Seinfeld, classic SNL, cooking shows, travel shows, PBS.
Does radio count? Prairie Home Companion.

Uh, good music? Jazzy/bluesy/funky/folky/alternative for the most part. And Latin. And a lot of exceptions.
