CURRENT MISSION

Trying to avoid obligations and responsibility by putzing around Europe for a few months.

ABOUT ME

I am currently on a literary/eating-disorder tour of Europe, and it culminated in my transition from a few bites of something each day to an orgiastic frenzy of snacking wherein I conquered my inner demons and screamed "I will NOT call you Ishmael" at my ice cream and then went all Raskolnikov on its ass.

PHILOSOPHY

Rutabagas are about identity as a function of history. In order to make sense of ourselves, we need to understand our roots.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hardly had a bed myself for the last few years, let alone a spare one for someone else. I've only couch surfed twice, but both were great experiences. Hopefully I will have a home at some point...

兴趣

Empires, good books, the Portuguese, icebergs, rooted vegetables.

• books
• painting
• history

音乐、电影和书籍

Books: Sometimes A Great Notion, Crime and Punishment, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, Franny & Zooey, 100 Years of Solitude, Tender is the Night, You Shall Know Our Velocity!, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius.
Music: Sleater-Kinney. A lot of others. Lil Wayne would be in there somewhere. But S-K is the most important one.
Movies: Heathers. HEATHERS. And Apocalypse Now.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Maybe this is lame, but Edvard Munch's "Madonna" painting in Oslo definitely takes the cake. Everything else is a pretty close second though.

教，学，和分享

Upon request, I could probably provide you with an engaging and heartfelt speech about ham and why it's important in the modern world. None of it would be accurate and very little of it would be educational, but I'm just sayin' it could be done.
