Music

,I play oboe semi-seriously,more for fun than anything else. I love going to (and occasionally performing in) concerts on campus,and I'm especially fond of chamber music. On the other end of the spectrum I like punk/alternative/indie rock,the futureheads,red hot chili peppers,arcade fire,kimya dawson,the white stripes,to name a few. And life wouldn't be the same without The Beatles.,

Movies

,I like anything surprising,and anything that leaves a lasting impression. Unfortunately (or fortunately,I'm not sure which)there is no telling which movies will have this effect,so it means I try to see as many movies as possible. I also love Pixar,because after a few classes trying my hand at digital rendering I have the utmost respect for what they do. And they are just good movies :P,

Books

,Again,anything surprising. Palahniuk is great at that. I love Douglas Adams' style and humor. I'm working my way through the works of Oscar Wilde,Harry Potter is my guilty pleasure and I think The Giver is my favorite book of all time.,

Travel

,I want to go everywhere. I want to see everything. I've traveled around the states,been to Japan,and dotted the Caribbean. I long to see Europe. Some day.,
