I'm a social anthropologist.
Currently writing my monograph about gender and business culture in Japanese society -> http://www.palgrave.com/flyer/flyer.asp?is=1403966540
Themes of interest :: gender, social ex/inclusion, continental - mainly French - philosophy, hybridity, ethnography, love, users, technology and society. In general i am coffee shop lurking, asking people about their ife histories, laughing + playing.
Thoroughly serious and studious, yet terribly girly and funny.
Interested in design + architecture, consumer goods, fashion, helping people, film, music, shopping, travel (i love Italy! and pariggi), essentially anything cool.
Music
mainly electro-pop -- ms. john soda bitter:sweet le tigre air st.etienne regina spektor the octopus project only son keane the presets death cab for cutie band of horses the shins franz ferdinand herbaliser thievery corporation perry blake stereo total radiohead blur pulp omd new order the smiths morrissey a flock of seagulls -- all that 80s and 90s music
Movies
Annie Hall, Central Station, Amelie, When Harry Met Sally, Manhattan, A Room with a View, Eloge de l'Amour, Clueless, Karate Kid, Stand by Me, Monty Python's The Meaning of Life ... + more ! Movies and books, endless cups of tea and biscuits, in bed ++
Television
don't watch telly much, but like documentaries …
prefer reading. Oh, but Japanese telly is hilarious! And i love Sex and the City!
About me: my writing falls between creative + crtical : something between essay, confession, fictional narrative.
personal involvement important in production of texts.
an intertext composed of heterogenous material.
The theme: the thing we want most but can’t ever get right -- love, emotions, relationships, of course!

Who I'd like to meet: writers, composers,
people who "get it" + do unconventionally brilliant things,
someone to exchange observations with,
trendy + cool people with a sensitive + intelligent side,
people who adore beautiful things,
honest people who value authenticity, no more liars !
someone who makes me laugh often,
sexy-geeky intellectuals who like sharing, quirkiness much adored + +
Hope everything is going well with you in your world.
It's been a pretty exciting time for us in ours.
