music tastes

i like long walks on the beach. but more than that, of course, i like pink floyd, yes, jacob collier, the beatles, and lots of fiddlin' jams, mind blowing classical compositions, and snippets of birdsong, from the beginning of music way back in the day all the way through to the present.

i also play the violin :)

other killer bands and artists: fleetwood mac, ∆, neutral milk hotel, genesis, van der graaf generator, king crimson, radiohead, the grateful dead, jethro tull, joanna newsom, gil scott-heron, arden lloyd, peter gabriel, david bowie, paul simon (and simon & garfunkel), peter paul and mary, the band, joan baez, liz carroll, crosby stills & nash, the gaslight tinkers, solas, the decemberists, the flaming lips, and (last but not least) the great django reinhardt.

what i'm doing now

i am taking four classes this fall: linear algebra and microbiology at gcc and reading ulysses and chinese history at harvard extension school. i'm helping start a newspaper. i'm directing rhinoceros by eugène ionesco and acting as berenger. i applied to mit and i'll hear back on december 18th. in january i'll apply to harvard, dartmouth, yale, amherst, and williams. i'm also preparing for a kroka semester for which i'll leave in january.

i also started a few cool things online, most recently a pleroma instance called the owl perch.

i'm feeling pretty swamped about all these things. i'm happy to have a wonderful community of friends though :)
