A fridge full of frosty beers, some fresh raspberries and strawberries. Got lots of steak and shiitake mushrooms in there, which the rich, dark brown ale and porter-style beers I found going for a knockdown price recently, are a perfect accompaniment to.
Otherwise just lazing around, smoking a few bongs, playing a videogame I've been working at for a while now, and belting out music (a mixture of katatonia, mushroomhead, mudvayne, even vast, draconian and industrial stuff, like ASP, rammstein, combichrist, while finishing off a bag of apple sauce filled donuts. Or was doing until a minute or so ago
My diisopropyl ether is here too now. Just need to find a source of dry ice or liquid nitrogen now. Although I'll try the anhydrous ammonia in situ idea for amodified birch- benckeser reduction (typically an electride, generated in anhydrous liquified ammonia, using an alkali or alkaline earth metal, usually lithium or sodium but plenty others have been tried, Ca, Mg, Ba, K, etc., but Ive been hankerin' to test it out on a substrate or two and either pregenerate the electride by gassing cooled ether with ammonia until saturated, and solvating the substrates to be tested in the NH3/DIPE prior to adding lithium metal, or gas the DIPE, form the saturated etherial solution of ammonia, then add substrate after adding the Li and waiting for the electride itself to form. Never seen a picture of it other than seeing it in solution before, but recently saw a snap someone took of some of the lithium/sodium electride, lithium I think, that they somehow isolated.
Looked fucking amazing, a metal, but it flows like mercury, or like caesium, and has a very similar intense gold color to caesium. And like both it (very low melting point) and to NaK alloy (sodium-potassium alloy. Its liquid, and intensely reactive, with far greater violence than sodium or potassium on their own, and like caesium, the golden liquid electride metal explodes with great violence if it touches water
