Yeah, I’m a pyromaniac. But looking at flames consuming ethel alcohol and dissolved lithium salts, with the beautiful red-pink shots of flame through the blue, I don’t think anyone could blame me. Fire fascinates me, it draws me in.

Lithium and copper, those are my favorites. Copper has such a lovely green flame, and lithium has such a lovely red-pink. And you know what’s better? Combining them together. I did that, and when I did, the colors didn’t mix and pollute each other. They were seperate, and I could see the colors of each streaking up towards the top of the fire.

That was Friday.

My birthday was rather pleasant. No celebration or anything, but I don’t really need one, do I? I got a gift card for iTunes (which I can’t get to work but will use when I can to get Deep Forest and Sensorica tracks), a few checks, and a gift card for Hastings worth fifty dollars, which I used to buy two books Good Omens and A Beautiful Friendship. Still have some money left, which I will spend online. Probably buy Tomorrow’s Spinx or The Jaguar Princess.

And now I’m going to the butterfly house by car. I’ll update this later.

Currently writing day after. Butterfly house was nice- saw several swallowtails, an atlas moth, blue morphos, owl butterflies, and other lovely sorts. Tragic thing about butterflies is that they don’t last long. Year or so at most. If I could redesign the butterfly, they would live forty years and have amazing regenerative capabilities. And be bioluminescent. And sentient.

Dinner was at the olive garden, and I had the sauce seperately from the ravoli so that I could use two different kinds of sauce. Which was delicious.

My fellow Chemistry students have the most fascinating observations. Why, just now one of them has declared that the diagram for f-orbitals is ‘looks like saltwater taffy’. This is while we are learning about orbitals, which I am probably the only person to find fascinating. And while I’m asking questions, trying ot understand why two parts of a d-orbital combine into a single ring, people keep interrupting me.

Also, after watching the ‘Buffalo Rider’ videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ4T9CQA0UM&feature=related), I now have an extreme urge to ride on a buffalo.
