no good content to really spew.. although last night coming home from airs i was a victim of the slow motherfucking vengeful drivers that think that going the speed limit is wrong, and why not 15 mph under, to show the person (me) behind them whats up. needles to say, i took advantage of the suicide lane =)

fucking disco stu. i miss you.
i saw him last night. goddamn hes a fucking spring board.
i sit on the couch, after 5 minutes of jumping on my balls.
he comes over and starts eating my arms!
naturally, i try to sedate him, but he only makes a fucking game out of it.
eventually its to the point where im hiding myself in the corner of the couch and hes springboarding off my fucking back.
biting at the back of my fucking skull, taking chunks of hair that gets caught in his teeth.
then, after he wears himself out, he decides to use me as a pillow while he trys to catch up on his sleep.. nosing around, making himself more comfortable.. taking up the whole damn couch.
goddamn i miss that fucker.
i hear is namesake was on the simpsons last night too.

anyway. reiteration. my o chem teachers cool. he makes all these molecules mean something by applying them to life.
i mean its not all that cool if yer not in o chem, but still, i find it interesting.
we're going over lipids, and he did a brief talk on olestra.. showed its structure and said how it kinda hits the same taste receptors as fats, and isnt digestable, but on the other hand, it leeches all the lipid-soluble molecules with it, which includes vitamins, so it sucks all those out of your bloodstream and intestines and whatnot. and even though they put 200% of the RDA recommended amount of these vitamins in with the food that contains the olestra, your net gain is still at a loss.
to go along with this, there are intestinal problems with the prescence of olestra, and can lead to anal drippage.. mmm.. fun...

this other subclass of fat we went over are called terpenes, which isnt important, but an example is beta carotine, which he showed the structure for, and it was rather large, which means it reflects the lower levels of the visible light spectrum, mainly orange. so yeah, this shits all up in the carrots, and btw the notion of beta carotene helping vision is false, although i think it is used in sight, but by eating more, you get nothing of it, although if you do consume mass quantities of carrots, your skin will turn orange =) i did know that, but the thing i didnt know was that theres a lot more beta carotene in plants than there is chlorophyll, but for some reason the chlorophyll wins out, until, in the fall when all the chlorophyll dies, and yup, you get the orange color from the beta carotene before the whole leaf dies. never really thought of that before, but it seems so sensible.

ok. my bad. i like science, fuck you!
i thought it was interesting. =P
