"what makes lovemaking and reading resemble each other most is that
within both of them times and spaces open, different from
measurable time and space." - calvino<br />

music is an essential part of life, especially live shows/
performance - i crave the visceral and emotional energy. i've
really been into electronic music lately - especially dark, dirty,
funky techno (e.g.

food: most. especially if it has garlic. or ginger. or both. and
noodles. man, i love noodles. i'm an omnivore but have been
becoming increasingly less desirous of meat and more picky about
where it comes from. i also absolutely applaud the emergence of
vegan/healthy/local/alternative eating choices as a real part of
our everyday food culture (at least in the bay area) and not
viewing them as strange forms of self-denial.<br />
i rarely "just don't care" what i eat. depending on the night i
enjoy exploring new places to eat out (or old favorites) or
creating something spontaneous at home. also, i will definitely
cook for you if you give me the chance!
