About meAndrea: I'm studying biology. It's very exciting, because I get to dissect things. When I use words like sonic and hedgehog in conjunction, people think I'm clever, rather than, you know, an idiot.

I seem to have been suckered into quite a bit of paleontology work recently. I look at things like basal archosaurs and crocodylomorphs. Which are pretty awesome, you know. But I harbor a secret dream of becoming a systematic biologist.

I have a wonderful fiance and snakes, as well as a large number of mammals of varying degrees of mediocrity.

Jason: I'm bad at dictating.

About my libraryAndrea says: I read too much. That's why I have too many books.

Cause/effect FTW, kids.

My book collection reflects the, uh, rather bizarre interests of my fiance and I, including genre fiction, russian literature, oral folkloric traditions and many other odd things. We pick books up, we think they're shiny, we read them and we go find more.

It's a good life.
