As if I hadn't destroyed enough braincells already

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

You?... hopefully?

Music:

take a looksee... http://english.skivsamling.nu/show.pl?id=13146&orderby=a rtist+asc&offset=all

Movies:

bit of a film geek really... everything from Fritz Lang to Darren Aronofsky. And also Humphrey Bogart. So much Bogart.

Television:

I wish that more shows on television would make real use of the potential the medium provides, and instead I find myself watching: Penn & Teller's Bullshit, Arrested Development(RIP), Scrubs, House, Heroes and a few slightly more overtly geeky obsessions (like Mystery Science Theatre 3000)

Books:

Anything by Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Franz Kafka... I've recently been reading some Sedaris too, as well as catching up on my classics. -- I have just finished reading finnegan's wake, naked lunch and Volume One of the Complete Casebook of Sherlock Holmes. so now I'm battling The Hamlet by Faulkner, and trying my darndest to get Stephen Wolfram's 'A New Kind of Science' a go... but it's very big.

My Blog

I’ll see you soon

Or maybe nobody will. Statistics give us ALL the edge.

The Organic Chemistry and The Sun Orbiting the Earth

Have been particularly obsessed with two things of late.1) How odd and incomprehensible it is that at the smallest of levels, everything is made of the same things, and how anomalous it is that we app...
