GeneralArt, writing, web-design, photography, and cooking -- everything and anything that makes me look like a creative and talented individual.
Musicindie, punk, pop, rock, and 80's: broken social scene, death cab for cutie, the postal service, stars, the clash, tears for fears, franz ferdinand, johnny cash, the arcade fire, the french kicks, rilo kiley, weezer, jason collett, metric, feist, mates of state, xiu xiu, sufjan stevens, peaches, saves the day, the cardigans, travis, pretty girls make graves, grandaddy, yeah yeah yeahs, the walkmen, stellastarr*, the strokes, the white stripes, modest mouse, radiohead, beta band, oasis, pj harvey, jimmy eat world, blur, joy division, new order, the beatles, alkaline trio, my chemical romance, longwave, ben kweller, ben lee, ben folds, coldplay, doves, the shins, elefant, the verve, the cure, interpol, wilco, the jesus and mary chain, black rebel motorcycle club, garbage, gorillaz, belle & sebastian, bright eyes, eisley, phantom planet, red house painters, rufus wainright, spoon, tenacious d, air, zero 7... ...and anything and everything that you've probably never heard of...

so this is what economics majors do in their spare time i suppose? i am thoroughly disgusted. here i thought my brother valued the sanctity of his virginity, instead he exploits it to sor-whore-ity hormone infused teen girls.

i am also thoroughly disgusted by you youtubing family members in hopes to find pornish recorded activity.

thank you phil, thank you.

Unless, of course, you're at a sperm bank. Then the last thing I'd want is a bit of Phil Retuta in my cup.

i was wondering, how were you able to post more than the 12 photo limit on your profile's picture section?

also, where do you post your new photos? like new projects you're working on or like the ones we all took last night? on flickr or where?

if you're having trouble getting christina's homemade tattoo off, try using acetone nail polish remover. hope you had fun last night. by the way, thanks for having that barbeque, it was fun. i appreciated it.
