#1 scheme of the morning

first a window into my gross personal habits. namely, throwing all kinds of crap into a bag and then insisting on carrying them around. (yes, someone actually nicknamed me walking gypsy carravan as a second grader…)
<p>anyway, more proof that mixing things up into a bag (or large chemical mixer) can sometimes yield great discoveries because chance is often better at it than i am. (you just have to take the right chances, maximize probability that is, or be willing to wait -> infinity…there’s the rub.) i discovered that a layer of tobacco had crusted over the the lip of my lip gloss. i was going to wipe it off and make a grossed out face…but 180’d and decided that fate was telling me something. [a sweet, sweet whisper] so i decided to rub it into the gloss instead. i don’t know if my aromatic neurotoxin of choice will eventually seep out into the gloss, but at least it got me on the right track. </p>
<p>project #458a2: try to extract nicotine from tobacco leaves or snuff and suspend in reconstituted lip gloss. (it can be a “demonstration” for the summer students…what! it worked for yura and the .25M falcon tube of crystallized caffeine he keeps in his desk)</p>
<p>(oh yeah)</p>
<p>project #459b9: experiment with conductive ink pen available from radio shack to see if we can draw circuitry on our bodies. (i volunteered yura as guinea pig…hmm…wait…another use for summer students!)</p> Tags: lani scheme
