Chemistry is my band, let me play a popfest in your mouth

About Me

I suffer from polymorphous light eruptions, which sounds like colored light spontaneously shoots out of the places where my bones meet each other. As rapturous as is the bending of a knee or the flexing of a fingertip, this is sadly not the case.

I want to learn things. Lots of things. All sorts of things. So, so, so many things.

My Interests

edibles, audibles, cuddlables, concertables and showables, cookables, makeables, measurables, pleasurables, danceables, adventurables, chemicables, huggables, and saving drowning insects from buckets of water (very important!)

I'd like to meet:

Niels Bohr, Claude Cahun, and viewers like you. I'm also half-looking for a part-time recreative chemistry lab partner for exploring kitchen chemistry with whatever supplies we can find. (No meth.) I'm also in the market for someone who will teach me to play the accordion in return for dinner.

Music:

last week's hits, courtesy of last.fm :And concerts wanting-goings here .

Movies:

Metropolis, Sleeper, Star Wars, Christopher Guests, Terry Gilliams, Monty Pythonses, the Showering Dragons, Cabaret, Dr. Strangelove, Casino Royale (1967), Velvet Goldmine, Labyrinth, John Waterses, White Christmas, others...

Television:

Not much of it, except for il/legally acquired episodes of Pete & Pete, Clone High, Dr Who, and Look Around You, among others.

Books:

too many, but I'm particularly fond of Roald Dahl's Dirty Beasts and the Fanny Farmer Baking Book

Heroes:

Bill Nye, Mr Wizard

Long time, no recipe.  This one is the result of leftovers from a going-away cake and buying a lot of ginger at Fubonn, not to mention being put in a "go do it!" mood by my fantastic housie Ande....
