Totally geeking out!



http://205.243.100.155/frames/shrinkergallery.html That is the most awesome thing i have seen in a very very long time.




well besides this: This is the Z machine in Sandia Labs, I love this thing, not the first time i've seen it, but it still impresses me everytime. The pink spidery things are lightning trapped in oil and water so that they can safely dissapate. The Z machine recorded the highest temperature on earth 3.6 billion degrees (2billion K) (on accident) thats hotter than the center of the sun (15 million K) its a friggin X ray generator, and the awesomeness you see here, is whats left over after the thermo nuclear explosion... i knew there was a reason i liked physics. stuff like this happens all the time, and it is beautiful and poetic in its own (totally awesome) way.
ok enough being a geek. i just get so excited by things like this, i dont know why. i know its totally not normal but look at that its gorgeous. speaking of gorgeous, my moms birthday is coming up, and i dont remember how old she is, i want to give her a big shebang for her 50th, but i think thats next year? ok maybe nothing big, maybe a day at the spa, that woman never takes care of her self like she deserves.
it seems everyone around me is losing these massive amounts of weight, and i need to get on that track too. i know what i need to do i just dont have the will power, i've gone what 8 days without candy now and im already thinking of ways around that (chocolate chip cookies arent candy right?)
Things are going pretty well in Drea-land. nothing to write home about really. i've decided (for about the millionth time) that i am going to school in may, even if i have to get another (EEEK!) student loan. im sick of feeling like im never going to do anything in my life, so im going to do something damn it! even if it feels like a small step to me its gigantic. i just need to find a way to balance out all my time between work school the ones i love and sleep and social life. but the way i see it, i've done it before, and people have been doing it for years, so i should be fine (eeek!)
