I like:

Acquiring books,

actually reading the books I

buy, privatizing Social

Security, salsa and tango,

unification, incompleteness, and

uncertainty, geeking out,
cashews and
macadamias, Kir
Royales and
Mojitos, apple
houkahs,
Indonesian food.

My
music
is:

Not emo.
Currently on rotation
are Chris
Cornell, Audioslave,
Staind,
Radiohead, Remy Zero,
Talib
Kweli, and some Broadway

stuff.

My friend once

said:

"We look like normal

people, but we're nerds. We lay

our highlighted copies of The

Economist and Foreign Policy

inconspicuously under our
Playboy
subscription. We rock
it at
parties, but somehow
find our
way into heated,
drunken
debates about "the
universe". We
dress well, but
we'd wear pocket
protectors
if ubiquitous
laptops hadn't
replaced our pens
and paper.
We always look good
in
pictures... we're studs with

photoshop."

This is A
Bronx
Tale (good movie!) gospel,

if you ask me:

"Let me tell

you somethin' right now.

You're only allowed three great

women in your lifetime.
They come
along like the great

fighters, every ten years.
Rocky
Marciano. Sugar Ray
Robinson. Joe
Louis. Sometimes
you get 'em
all at once. Me?
I had my three
when I was
16. That happens.
What are
you gonna do? That's
the way
it goes, you know?"

This is ridiculous. One must

leave something to talk about

on the first date,

no?

Briefly: I was born in
Moscow,
moved to NYC, studied in
Paris,
graduated from
Cornell. Now I
work for a think
tank in DC and
I love it (the
think tank job,
not DC)!

I mentioned geeking out. You should totally be a geek, but don't actually *look* like one (see above quotation regarding what "My friend once said". This is important. Eccentrics are welcome. Sociopaths, not so much...). I once went to Fogo de Chao for a romantic dinner and spent the whole time talking about labor theory of value. True story. Yes, some economics late at night has been known to make me a tad...flush. It's just so cerebral, and by mind-body connection is nothing if not intense! Moving right along, I'm currently experiencing a fiction revival. See, I'm trying to complete my education, so to speak. To that end, I'm reading all the books that my public high school canon unwisely ignored. Anybody reading Lolita right now? Cuz I am but I will finish soon so get it while it's hot. I tend to go for metrosexual guys, but this is not an exclusive preference. There's just something about how the right pair of jeans fits, you know? Jeans -- there's something I wish I had invented. So I hope you're geeky, brooding and sexy, like shopping, and are in command of proper English grammar. Other languages a plus, but also not an exclusive preference. Oh, almost forgot: I love cooking together. You don't have to know how to cook, but you better help me peel an onion and watch the pasta.
