Here's hoping this one knows what they're talking about.

Oh yeah. Library. BOOKS.

Guys, if you ever get a chance to grab a copy of '30-Second Elements', do it. Such an interesting book! Did you know there's estimated to be only an ounce of francium in the Earth's mantel?

Makes sense. Francium is one of the most reactive chemicals with the stuff that makes up the lively Earth, and is a less stable element.

But I'll look it up when I can :D

Just checking in from the boyfriend's house. Woke up with a migraine yesterday so I slept 'til about 11 am pst, then went to lunch with his parents and him. Today we're going out on an adventure to some gaming stores :)

And the lady that found it was an assistant to Marie Curie! She named it after her home country.

Potassium superoxide is also really really cool.

Ooooo. Poke him to get something with a good story, that you can play along!

Or get 'Scary Girl'.

lol well, I'm going to be controlling the monsters in his Pathfinder game on Friday, so there's that. :D

[Tam I am]

Not quite the same as playing a video game, but XD, still fun.

I really don't feel good.

Today I saw a cookbook for nerds. There was zombie brain cake.

Braaaaaaaaaiiiiins. Lol the boyfriend and I went and saw Star Wars and then we went to Newport Beach. Tomorrow we'll be going to the San Diego zoo and then out to dinner with his family for the holiday

[trystan830]

yaay Star Wars!

i'm reading 'the Phantom of Menace' right now... and then back the Legacy of the Force series in my sig.

what did you think of the movie, Den? i saw it twice. =)

[Tam I am]

I've decided to pass on the movie. I know it's just an alternate reality to all the 'Extended Universe' books that I've read that are now officially non-canon, but meh. I only have time for that kind of stuff with Transformers.

[trystan830]

yaaay! someone else with similar thinking as me! i've been reading the EU since 2011, and i'm totally loving it.

there are pieces of the EU embedded in the movie - such as, when Kylo Ren first appeared on screen, he totally reminded me of Jacen Solo from the Legacy of the Force series that i'm currently reading (i've finished 7 out of the 9 books so far)

so i went to the movie with the opinion that the movie was the alternate 'verse and the EU is still my canon. =)

[Tam I am]

XD Well, there are parts I don't love. But I currently have a few SW derived OCs running around in my RP stuff who wouldn't exist but for the EU. Like the Keylendar lady who gained the name "Still Breathing" because she fought a space wasp who invaded her clan's ship, and when the others finally got the door open she was the only one doing so.

[trystan830]

heh, that's cool, Tam. =)

[Tam I am]

I mean, giant space bug? How can a weirdo like me not have fun with that? XD

*looks up at space wasp that just came to the library* Uh...

[trystan830]

i'll be back later if there's a space wasp in here....

[Tam I am]

0_0 I think she's here to read. *watches the bug take down a book and leaf through it*

[trystan830]

huh. well stranger things have happened....
