Recent Caltech geology graduate intending to study palaeontology eventually. Presently living in Pasadena and working as a writer for eSolar. Talkative pretentious distractible nerd with the wunderkammer aesthetic sense of a magpie, fancier of all things old and musty, jack of all trades but master of none. I'm working on that last bit, though, it's easier to solve than the rest.
