Really, I am the absolute worst at keeping secrets and I'm fairly easy to identify anyway by the things I talk about so I might as well introduce myself.

Hello, I'm the blogger.  I am a displaced New Englander and undergraduate in astrophysics and medieval history about to go my senior year at Caltech.  I have no idea what I want to do with my life.

Here is a list of things I appreciate in the order they come to mind:

• Science outreach—particularly to middle/high school kids
• Station To Station era David Bowie
• Ponies of all varieties
• The role of women in medieval literature
• Consistent, uninterrupted access to strong tea
• Boston in the middle of winter
• High energy astrophysics
