About
Yes, this is me, living in San Francisco, working at Fluid, Inc as a visual designer. Getting into all sorts of shenanigans when I’m not designing. Here are some of my “stats,” as they say in the social networking circuit.
Movies
Grindhouse, Fight Club, 8 1/2, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, L’Auberge Espagnole, Pi, Waking Life, Contact, I Love Huckabees, The Lion King (sin verguenza!), Requiem for a Dream, Trainspotting, Seven, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, The Sound of Music, The Little Mermaid, Sunset Boulevard, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, all films by Wong Kar Wai (there’s something unhappily appealing about them).
Music
I love all sorts of music, but if you ask me about the current Top 40, I’ll probably have a blank expression on my face. My mp3s are quite assorted and international, yet there are a few groups and singers I’m into more than others. My favs are: The Flaming Lips, Shakira, Pink Martinis, Sylvia Rexach, Modest Mouse, The Beatles, Rilo Kiley, Tony Bennett, Latin Rock bands (specially from 1994!), and Residente Calle 13 (representando!)
Television
I get my kicks out of watching shows from Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, The Travel Channel, and the History Channel… but when I’m not being a docu geek, I like Adult Swim and reality tv drama… specially when they have marathons (the best invention since the microwave). And of course, thank you MTV and VH1 for those silly celebrity shows like Best Week Ever that keep me informed of what goes on in the world. Forget you, FOX News… you cater to wimps ;P
Books
I’m not ashamed to say I like airplane readings, the latest are Chuck Palahniuk’s novels, and books filled with weird facts, like Freakonomics, Blink, The Tipping Point, Fast Food Nation, and The Genius Factory. All time favorites from the past are Ceremony, Cien Años de Soledad, Contact, and El Perfume.
A Day in The Life
My day consists on reading, writing, walking, breathing, watching movies, studying, working on projects, attending classes, dancing, cleaning, eating, doing the dishes. Unfortunately, it doesn’t include yet the creation of complex food… so if anyone wants to teach me, I’ll be glad to observe; and if you are cute enough, downright participate.
Interests
I’m into traveling, film, photography, sociopolitical discussions, graphic design, web, frisbee, reading, writing, researching stuff in wikipedia (for the sake of it!), documentaries, and silly reality tv show marathons. I’m into experimenting all sorts of things… they are all appealing to me, as long as they are different, and make for good cocktail wit.
