About Sugarfly McQueen

Hey everyone! I'm a meteorologist by degree and by hobby (I still do a little forecasting as well as Skywarn severe storm spotting), although not by profession (yet). So until I can land a science-y career of some sort, I'm killing time and keeping my brain aerated by being a smartass. I enjoy sci-fi, comedy, bad movies, good movies, music (especially world music, and especially especially J-pop and bhangra), photography, and stargazing.
