Non-Newtonian Fluid

Some extremely odd stuff. Apparently by mixing a substance like borax or cornstarch with water at a certain ratio, you can make a goopy liquid that acts like a solid when it is under high pressure/impact/stress.

It's basically somewhere between silly putty and quicksand.



If I had an empty pool and a shit ton of money to burn, I'd definitely give this a shot.

But I'm too busy studying for finals and finishing outlines for classes. When it's all said and done, I'll be looking forward to Christmas break, which will roll straight into my wedding celebration. More like a "weddebration" or a "fiestamonial event".

Still, finals must be completed before I can fully relax and enjoy thinking about my wedding par-tay. But what do I do when not studying for finals in my computer room? Glad you should ask because there would've been an awkward silence if I had to think up a transition myself, and no one like awkward silences. I mean, if there was being who embodied awkward silence, he would probably hate himself. No joke.

Anyway, when not studying in my computer room, I shall be studying on the excellent new couch Kelly and I bought. Fucking awesomeness. My first couch... a couch that actually belongs to me (and my soon-to-be-wife).

Is it a sign of maturity when you are as excited about getting a couch as you used to be about getting an X-Box or PS2? Or maybe it's a sign of insanity. A tattoo of insanity. A black mark of pirate insanity. But who doesn't love pirates? People love 'em. They loved them when the pirates raomed the oceans and stole from royal merchant ships, and they love being computer pirates nowadays, stealing from the corporate royalty of music and movie.

Really, did the government think they'd discourage copyright infringement by referring to it as "piracy"? They might as well have called it "mad ninja skills".
