Enjoying the quiet. DD is still in bed fast asleep. DS is half asleep on a couch. Dog #1 is asleep on the other couch and dog #2 is passed out at my feet. The cat is probably napping somewhere as well. Not a bad way to start a Sunday morning.

Christ, the vet and food bills for  that many cats must be extortionate. And I don't think its so much the feeding time the hazmat suit is needed for, but a little while after it :P (I so need to get one of those. NBC suit that is not a horde of cats big enough to invade a 3rd-world country with:P)

Love that cat video.

Right now I'm reading Intensity and booting up my laptop.

Reminds me of when I last had a cat, one thing she'd sometimes do is if I was lying down, come and walk around on my back. Felt good, having her weight, hearing her purr and getting a feline back massage :)

Called her Sasha, in honour of the late, most great Alexander 'Sasha' Shulgin, the grandfather of the psychedelic tryptamines, phenethylamines, and psychedelic amphetamines, a true pioneer, great chemist and from his writing, I reckon he HAD to have been on the spectrum. Just the way he writes in his books, I've got hardcopies of his first three, TIHKAL, PIHKAL and 'the simple plant isoquinolines' (TIHKAL and PIHKAL stand for 'Tryptamines/Phenethylamines I Have Known And Loved' respectively. First half of each is an autobiography, the second is lots of juicy synthetic chemistry, a catalog of his psychedelic tryptamines in TIHKAL, along with a few beta-carbolines, and in PIHKAL the psychedelic phenethylamines like 2C-B and psychedelic amphetamines such as DOB and DOM.

I'm currently reading his latest book, published shortly before the great man lamentably died, titled 'the Shulgin index, vol.1: Psychedelic phenethylamines and related compounds', which has far more info on far more compounds than PIHKAL, reading his latest work and enjoying it mightily, whilst just finished scoffing down an entire tray of tiramisu,  a liter of a new co-op own brand rhubarb&custard flavour milkshake and well on my way to finishing another bottle. Really nice. I wasn't sure if I'd like it tons or despise it, so bought 2 bottles just in case of the former. Odd combination of flavour, just like the rhubarb and custard hard boiled sweets, unusual, new, but really really good. Good enough that a liter carton can end up drained to the last drops in minutes.


A few oxy up the nose, other meds taken (some of) and a cigar to relax with. Going to play a bit of the videogame I've been playing lately, go finish up some research and then go back to reading the shulgin index.

weaving in and around miss K's ankles and purring loudly

Doing some video-editing for my science corner 'Lestat's lab', converting the video file as taken through two different formats, stripping metadata from each and stripping the final one before uploading via TOR (although the compound in question isn't identified, in this case, I do the same thing on principle anyway, because damned if I am going to leave my house's GPS coordinates encoded in my videos, or camera serial numbers and other such creepy unneeded security-risk file size-bloating shite, especially not that which would or could be used to personally identify me.

So converting formats, testing the videos and stripping out the metadata, whilst smoking a cigar.

In this case the identity of the compound isn't the important bit. The synthesis itself was done ages ago, this is simply catching another crop of crystals that formed. Perhaps the 4th. After that, if nothing more forms, will microwave the mother liquor with  a few drops more of the catalyst used a few times, give it another 10 minutes in pulsed heating-cooling cycles (the reaction in question would normally take an hour, maybe two at reflux temperatures and give a product of lesser purity, whilst 10 min in my lab microwave that I quite literally just happened to 'find' abandoned, it works, and so use it for MW chemistry) MW chem can be awesome, cutting not just minutes but hours off reaction times, give massively higher yields with some reactions..it just OWNS. I've still got to adapt the MW in such a way as to be able to run some plumbing through the sides and top, drill holes large enough for plastic tubing with high thermal resistance, and for a condenser to poke out of the top, plus of course, microwave shielding to prevent MW energy irradiating the surrounding area. I don't want all my electronic lab gizmos fried to a crisp and my eyeballs and brain boiled in their skull from the inside out. No, thank, you. Nor, do I particularly want me nadgers microwaved and broiled in their own juices until I'm left with a pair of stop-nads where my gonads used to be.
