thanks @tomvorikandharry for tagging me <3

nickname: human google. beans.

height: 5’6” or 167.6 cm

last thing i googled: Александр Кутиков живет в Израиле сейчас? (i’m going to see Машина Времени in a few months, but i was curious to know if Kutikov had gotten duel citizenship like Makarevich).

song stuck in my head: keep it down by jack bruce (i bought a friend’s dad one of his solo vinyls for christmas, in addition to some lester young and paul desmond, but it started me back on a kick of listening to him).

amount of sleep: 6 hours. normal for me is 4-5.

dream job: when i finish my doctorate, i’ll be qualified to be a professor, or at least start on that track, and my advisor(s) and program have a great record of getting people into prestigious post-docs and tenure track positions. i may transition to another sector and work in a think tank/banking/foreign policy or diplomacy/etc. we’ll see how sick of academia i am 6 years from now.

wearing: blue jeans i bought from a little shop in soho a few years ago. grey mock neck and black blazer that i got vintage shopping in NYC last winter. lace up black combat-ish boots from Dune.

book/movie that summarizes me: weirdly enough, master and commander by patrick o’brian. not that i especially love that book, it’s definitely not my usual thing to read, but because of the character of queeney. as jack aubrey says of her: 

“’Conic sections and the Pentateuch came as easy as kiss my hand to her. Dear Queeney. I thought she was to be an old maid, though she was so pretty; for how could any man make up to a girl that knows Hebrew? It seemed a sad pity: anyone so sweet-tempered should have a prodigious great family of children. But, however, here she is married to the admiral, so it all ends happy ... yet, you know, he is amazingly ancient — grey-haired, rising sixty, I dare say.’” 

(every bit of that is scarily accurate, down to the hebrew (though mine is modern) and the maths). 

current favorite song: is this what you wanted by leonard cohen (1974)

aesthetic: i feel like i’m aesthetically a bit of a chameleon, in that my space is decorated in a way which totally reflects my personality and interests while the way i dress is often more conservative and toned down, though it still contains elements of my fundamental style and often depends on the occasion. (for example when i was in london last week a friend kindly took me out to a very expensive jazz club and i wore a vintage black mini dress which had lace sleeves and a lace collar and a plunging lace only back cut-out with chunky tall michael kors velvet heels i bought second hand and black nylons. not at all what i would wear day to day but reflective of how and who i wanted to be in that environment). anyway, my flat is very ‘modern day scholar inhabits 16th century persianite harem.’ all jewel tones, intricate dark wood dividers, miniatures with inscriptions from rumi, patterned textiles, etc. but also loads of books, weird little presents friends have bought me, an egon schiele print, a random fortnum and mason’s basket, a kitchen fully stocked with east asian ingredients, etc. 

fav author(s): this is a cruel question, but i’ll just pick a handful in no particular order. vladimir nabokov, joseph brodsky, saul bellow, evelyn waugh, jeet thayil, ma jian, salman rushdie, tom wolfe, t.s. eliot, sergei dovlatov, hayim nachman bialik, tomas transtromer, walker percy, milan kundera, italo calvino, hillel halkin, philip larkin, and so on. 

random fact: my 6th (or 7th, no-one in my family can actually remember) was ancient egypt themed. at my insistence. just imagine a little girl with curly pigtails beaming next to a cake in the shape of tutankhamun’s death mask and you’ve got the idea.

Britney Spears - Swimming In The Stars (Visualizer)

[britneyarmybe]

--Born to make you happy-- is a song recorded by American singer @britneyspears for her debut studio album, ...Baby One More Time (1999). It was released on December 6, 1999, by Jive Records, as the fourth single from the album in European countries. Spears—whose vision for her sound differed stylistically from that of her producer's—was unhappy with the sexual overtones of the song, and the song underwent at least one re-write before its release. The singer first recorded the vocals for the track in March 1998, which were later re-recorded the same year. The teen pop song alludes to a relationship that a woman desires to correct, not quite understanding what went wrong, as she comes to realize that she was "born to make [her lover] happy". Released December 6, 1999 Recorded 1998 Studio Cheiron Studios (Stockholm, Sweden) Genre Pop teen pop Length 4:03 Label Jive Songwriter(s) Kristian Lundin Andreas Carlsson Producer(s) Kristian Lundin . . #britneyspears #borntomakeyouhappy #babyonemoretime #britneysingle #britneyalbum #britneyspearsfans #britneyjean #britneyforever #britneyfan #brit4ever #britneyspearsbelgium #britneyarmy #britneyspearsqueen #popculture #queenofpop #queeney #love #picoftheday #photooftheday #instadaily #freebritneyspears #itsbritneybitch #reminiapp #freebritney (à Make you Happy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQhEV67FBlR/?utm_medium=tumblr

You took the vacuum cleaner

Our Many Never Endings by Courtney Queeney

You entered the bedroom and fell to your knees. I wait the rest of my life to hear you say, I made a mistake. Inside my chest, a mangle. Inside yours, a deflating balloon. You took the vacuum cleaner, the ironing board, the dish rack and left me some lint, an iron to scorch shirts, one chipped plate. I would like to say at least we perfected entrances and exits, like professional stage actors honing their craft, but even that’s a fantasy. Mostly on TV the lions ate the hyenas but sometimes the hyenas formed a posse, and tore a lion up. Occasionally you came in out of the rain and I was glad to have you.

do you have any poems about extremely hard break ups for both ends? poems about letting the love of your life go so that they can pursue happiness with someone else? poems about the leaving person realizing they'll never move on from you either but they fell for someone else? ps: never fall in love
