Friday Five

1. What is your name?
Over here, I'm ExtraPenguin. Elsewhere, I have other names that aren't relevant.

2. What is your Quest?
Comprehension! I want to understand things and then do stuff based on that. In addition to my day job in research, I do it also in writing: I want to understand how to best craft a work of fiction, and then go to the execution phase.

3. What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
African or European? :P

4. What is your favorite color?
Blue. More specifically, cobalt blue and secondarily the navy blue/Prussian blue side. I'm not into pastels.

5. Describe the first time you saw Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
I was watching it with my dad at home. It was hilarious!

Bonus links
Infrared photosynthesis – an astrobiology article I really really should read. And then I should read the rest of the website. Curse the summer heat and brightness, sapping my brain!

The Guardian rewatchalong returns with episode 18. It's all about Fight Club, and Zhao Yunlan should've just hired Ye Huo at the end.

(Also, I'm thinking about venturing into homeownership. Wish me luck – I have some specifications for the place, and while the market isn't overcrowded, it ... isn't that large in offering, either.)
