I went to the movies with Merci today! T'was very fun.
We saw "The Aviator"; it was such a long movie...
My butt still hurts from sitting in the theater for 3 straight hours x.x
"I don't want to go to school tomorrow..."
The movie was great. It was long, but it was enjoyable. I love how DiCapprio (whatever his name is) slowly goes insane as stuff happens to him. Overall, I give it a 7 out of 10; good movie, but way too long.
"Fuck..."
After the movie, we went to Starbucks, then to World Market. There were so many different things there. I want to go back and get a glass bottle they were selling to use for my alchemy experiments XD.
"So that's where she got me my coin purse..."
We then wandered around for a bit and went home. Such a wonderful way to end my winter break =)
Research progress:
I have made a hypothesis of the elemental structure of the so called Philosopher's Stone. Since it bypasses the rule of Equal Loss, the stone must have one element from each of the groups in the periodic table of elements. The only suitable period with which the stone can be created must be Period 4 or 5. I see many possible problems I must face when I try to combine these elements. Some of these elements cannot stay solid in normal conditions, thus a form of atomic bonding must occur, but since Krypton and Xenon are noble gases, they can not have an ordinary bond to the other elements. These noble gases must be ionized by either electrical stimulation or some other form of energy so they would gain a certain type of charge to bond. This process is known to be highly dangerous and fatal, if precise measurements are not prepared. Another problem I see is the material costs. Titanium, Silver, Zirconium, and Antimony are my main concerns. Those elements alone will cost me a pretty penny. The last and most important problem I will face is hazardous elements and the byproducts of the process. Arsenic will probably cause the most danger out of all the elements in Periods 4 and 5. The possible hazardous byproducts this experiment can create may cause contamination and failure to correctly bond the elements.
And so, I have an experiment I can finally start on. I wonder what kind of distributer will supply me with Selenium... Maybe the people at the Head and Shoulder's Shampoo company could help me.
