“ Did you feel utterly helpless without your cell phone? It’s shocking to know that we depend so much on almost every piece of technology in our lives that when one departs, we become frantic and panicked. My power went out two weeks ago, so I read a lot of magazines, until the sun went down. I didn’t know what to do with myself, so I went out drinking.
RL, my very good (and very funny) friend
highs | lows and the mess in the middle
Things that make me unusually happy: bubble wrap, fireworks, nightly concerts at Café Populart on c/ Huertas in Madrid, simple clean designs, diet cokes, navigating, people who laugh [a lot], the Spanish words pantufla and bicicleta, yo-yo ma, dancing salsa, professors Kent and Jottar, bottles of red wine, clean ears, watered down orange juice, caipirinas, The Shadow of the Wind, secrets. I like cloudy days with low humidity & sleeping in. I’m a world cup fanatic and a politics junkie.
I don't like anything banana flavored and I hate cilantro. I often assume the ambitions of the person with whom I have most recently interacted. I despise the manipulation of certain issues for political gain. In my future lives I hope to be a movie producer, a photographer, a travel magazine editor, and a professional tourist.
I hail from: Palo Alto, Cambridge, Jamaica Plain, Gallup, El Paso, Williamstown, Madrid, Washington DC, Oaxaca, Barcelona & NYC (currently).
