Like after_nightfall, I particularly liked the throwaway references bit - I also like it when we learn a character has hobbies or opinions that don't further the plot.
I also liked your remark that exposition and infodump are not alike, because I've seen too many people castigated for the latter point to versions of the former and say, "But!!!"
