My favorite science fair project was my "hearing loss increases with age" one (radical hypothesis, I know) where I interviewed an audiologist and got to hang out in a room treated to be nearly silent. Then I generated a series of pure sine wave tones on my c64 and recorded them to test people`s hearing. It was awesome, and also I turned down my Walkman after that. (eta: my cassette walkman, dontcha know.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You know how sometimes something happens that you have to laugh at, even though you feel bad for laughing? Yeah, my cat fell in the toilet this morning.

Now I feel bad, because I am laughing so hard I am almost crying!

The thing I resented most about science experiments and science fairs as a kid was we never tested ANYTHING. It was all a rehash of what everyone always knew. But I kinda love Jesse's flammability thing. She is a smarty pants.
It rained last night. I wish it would rain the same way every night until June (not very hard, and for about an hour). But if that happened we wouldn't be in LA. We'd be in some tropical place.

More like lazy and bored, so I was looking for something that would be easy and fun!

It was pretty funny.

That`s Hawaii rain, huh Kat? That`s how I always think rain should be and am disappointed when it`s not all light and refreshing and rainbow-making. Hey did your folks end up being all right? Mine were all mauka so they were all fine.
Yeah, if I`d gotten to form an actual hypothesis and genuinely test something I`d have been very happy. I should totally do science fair projects now.

poor mac always has a wrong hypothesis and then is really unhappy about it. He thought the metal would have the most static electricity and it had none. plastic bag was the big winner.

That's how you learn! Learning how try things and fail is a big part of the science ed at my org.

Liese, my family was okay. The twins were posting on facebook that afternoon. They were saying it was stressful but it felt like they were moving out.
One of my nieces has actually been nominated into the Naval Academy. I hope she gets it!
Tired this morning.
