About

Me. Living in NY, now finished with my Masters in French Lit. and looking for a job/purpose, but also preoccupied with life, love, art and everything else I happen to be fall upon or under. it's gonna be random because I love Godard, France Gall, goat cheese, creativity, Mad Men, walking barefoot in the grass, pan's flute, 60's music, Nouvelle vague, hand on hand action, blooming period, expressionism, Art deco, the color green, Delta blues on a rainy night, Marianne Faithfull, hogging the covers, random dancing, yelling at the TV, epicurian pleasures, Scotch, Improv, eggplants, Surrealism, feeling like I'm in a Woody Allen movie, experimental cooking, passionate hair-grabbing, passionate air-guitar playing, snowstorms, riping clothes off, pointless arguments, heavy novels, salt-water hair, french yé-yé, Kierkegaard, locking eyes, running, watching paint dry,kissing, Moe from the Simpsons, twirling, the word cahoots, futurism, quoting movies, cartoons of ducks, board games, shoes that ultimately hurt my feet but look Grwahawwwh, not that many TV shows, feet sinking into sand, having cocktails at inappropriate hours, touching suede, Christopher Guest's brain, brushing my teeth but not my hair, dancing in the shower but not singing in it, afternoon delights, zombie movies, glitter art, being too much, artists & muse couples, reading while walking, Shiraz, impromptu musicals, and making collages. So this is my life, collage-style...
and please be forgiving, I'm used to french, english is only my second language...
