About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm a nomad at heart even if I stay put.

Music, Movies, and Books

BOOKS: Too many to count. Random picks from the long list of favorites: Ernesto Sabato, Julio Cortazar, Italo Calvino, Kurt Vonnegut, Yukio Mishima, Jun'ichiro Tanizaki, Jorge Luis Borges, Herman Melville, Milan Kundera, Raymond Carver, Roberto Bolano, Albert Camus

MUSIC: anything from jazz to noise rock. Open to new discoveries, but with a particular weakness for classical, experimental, and free jazz.

My feet will dance to pretty much everything, which is a frequent sort of embarrassment. I'd like to learn to dance quickstep one day, but for now salsa will do, too! :)
