I have a blog: http://textbookslater.wordpress.com/

I put words that I like together in an attempt to comment on things. Some of these words are 'curious', 'ubiquitous', 'wholeheartedly', 'acquiesce', 'rhythm', 'scotch' and 'ambivalent'.

I also like to act, sing, do comedy and watch other people do it. I love contemporary art. I really love music. Really. Good music can do things that nothing else can - it makes you exist at a level higher than you previously thought possible.

I love the production flourishes of the Beatles. I think that Regina Specktor is a godess. I wish I had even the beginnings of the urgency and relevance of 70s punk. I try to be JD Salinger. I enjoy telling people that they're stupid. This causes problems, because I'm pretty hypocritical. But whatever, fuck it.
