Difference between you and me: I would have seriously tried to answer this question, bringing in Descartes and thinking seriously about the mind body distinction.

You bust a rib laughing and get on with your life.

I think you win.

Well, see, I think there are a lot of things to say and reflections to be led about the mind-body (I first typed "bind-moody" — don't even ask) connections and relationships. I even think it's an interesting topic. I've loathed my body and the need for a body for years and years and I've had to think about it a lot for it to change.

But if you bring "a cohesive YOU, alive and present" in the picture, I feel we move from the philosophical and psychological reflection to a new-age realm of feel-good "yeah man" and I just can't take the question very seriously.

I wish I was half as cool as you, C :-)

I read

Mostly detective stories. Occassionally, weird fantasy, theater, or Chinese literature in Italian (I have fantastic friends), real well-written books.

I listen to

Mof Montreal, Caravan Palace, the Ditty Bops, Dango Reinhardt, the National, Minor Majority, Léo Ferré, Beethoven, Sonny Rollins, Laura Marling, Erlend Øye, Hjaltalin, Sufjan Stevens, Yuri Bashmet. And others.

I am

late, I'm late, I'm late for a very important date, delighted by Oscar Wilde (One should always be a little improbable), a little improbable, still very much of a bloody leftist, heathen atheist, and a woman scientist.
