Refueled by the Seattle smog

About Me

Chemist who exults IN the finer nerdy things in life.

My Interests

Literature of most shapes and sizes (excluding self-help books and strangely autobiographies, I think people just don't write enough of the juicy dirt about themselves.)Movies, video games and dare I say it Magic cards.

I'd like to meet:

People of the Yakima Valley and people I've known in Seattle.

Music:

After 2 years of constant musical bombardment at work I've managed to acquire a bit of a taste for country music and oldies. Although I mostly still listen to 80-90s rock.

Movies:

The last great movie I watched was Stranger Than Fiction, I always knew Will Ferrel could pull off a serious roll if he chose. I like watching Scifi, some more obscure titles (pi, requiem, momento) and animated movies for all ages (Shrek, Cars).

Television:

My TV is currently for movies and videogames.

Books:

I just finished Kim by Rudyard Kippling (he wrote the Jungle Book), it's really great when an author can weave an excellent story while writing a historically and culturally informative novel. Actually I finished this some time ago but I never update my myspace profile. Wait, I just did. Wait. Ack!

Heroes:

Ann Rand, a bit nuts but hey at least she tried.

My Blog

The Update Sean so desperately desires.

On a lighter note:

Apparently my ex has decided that God will deliver me back into her twisted little arms. I can just see him now standing tall and mighty in the clouds, throwing lightening bolts into my ass as I run t...

Sic no more!

Hooray! After a work week of feeling sick to my stomach I can now call myself fully recovered. Sadly my Doctor warns that to prevent a reoccurance I must avoid: Beer, Rum, Wine, Whiskey, moonshine, vo...

Drunk again

Drunk really is the best way to start things, no inhibitions, no expectations, just an endless excess of blurry expectations and improbible outcomes. Sad that your hands can't quite follow what you mi...
