Well, I feel stupid...
Ever have one of those moments where you think: You know... I never thought about it...
I'm watching NOVA's special on cold and refrigeration.
I had NO idea what the general principles behind refrigeration were, even if I did know the basic laws of thermodynamics. I mean, it's just amazing to think how people just got to the idea of refrigeration from playing with HEAT theories.
Then again... people got the idea for Viagra while trying to cure heart disease.
Science is a mystery.
Hmmm... but I find it interesting, even if any time I write a sci-fi piece, I have to study WAY too hard... ;__;
AH, I wrote a Blood+ drabble last night, just for the hell of it:
Title: Dreary
POV: Solomon, first person
Rating: G (I guess)
Description: Just tired of my inhuman future...
How perfectly dreary it had become: an endless tomorrow.
My life had been shrouded in watching men kill men, devour women, and leave children dying in streets. When I chose this path, I thought I was finding the answers for humanity's future. I thought my choice an easy one. Amshel was persuasive, mysterious, and reassuring.
Diva: her beautiful tone permeated me, and my own blood fell like red candy drops to the floor before her delicate feet. Before I knew it, it pooled and I sank into my own mortality, as it glowed richly in the flickering torchlight.
I lay dying, and her laugh echoed hollowly around me. And I became more than man, and less than human, my simple human dreams scattered like my blood along that dark wall.
Tonight, the ocean spreads out endlessly before me, the salty smell and full moon reminding me of that moment of glowing blue eyes and girlish laughter.
