Basically I haven't posted in a while but it doesn't matter because no one reads this so who cares.
Anyway the reason I've been gone is a) I haven't been thinking as much (due to a myriad of reasons that we won't get into) and b) the weather is positively gorgeous, though not tonight, because the humidity is, I swear, 97% and I couldn't breathe when we left the RPAC. I mean, okay, that may have been the teberculosis in my lungs, as well, but... well, details, details...
Today in chem lab I decided not to do anything but play with concentrated acid, which is as bad of an idea as it sounds, but it just makes your metalware so CLEAN, I can't HELP it. Anyhoo, while boiling water to make shiny maroon crack (vs. the shiny purple crack from h201) I decided to clean said metalware with the concentrated hydrochloric acid. It worked super for my forcepts and that scissor-grabby thing and the scoooooooopula and the spatula, but not so great for the test tube holder. See, here's what happens when you put a test tube holder in 16 M HNO3: first it bubbles. Then it turns pink, then gold, though you can't see it, because the holder is dipped into the acid, which has turned into a bright green solution, which is bubbling violently and producing thick, nice, toxic orange-brown fumes. And when you're done, there is very very very little of the test tube holder actually remaining. So, now you know.
But anyway the weather is beautiful. Sunshine is nice... in moderation. I wish it would thunderstorm. Then again, even if it did, I wouldn't notice because I live in a cement cell with a square foot of unopenable window. Oh, and it's seventy-five degrees ferenhieght (and now you know why I use celcius... I can spell it) in this room, so it's not even like I can get relief from the fucking summer heat. And it's even warmer in the bedroom, and no, not for whatever perverted reasons you're thinking, but because there isn't a fan in there, wheras I have my nice little Zippi here. But hey, the sun is nice, and I was getting tired of wearing my peacoat.
P.S. I'm getting disgustingly good at Guitar Hero and got over 222,000 on Message In a Bottle tonight. I even beat Elaine! So proud!
