School is cancelled tomorrow because of severe flooding. In other words: MORE TIME TO PLAY STAR FOX.
Fischer projection is nice if you want to work with linear molecules like carbohydrates or amino acids, but hell if you need to project circular [edit: polycyclic] molecules.
On the other hand ... now I'd like you to show me the Fischer projection of doxycycline.

Well, you could break up the rings, I suppose...that's what we biochemistry people do for sugars and stuff. Leads to a whole host of weird memory tricks to figure out where the hydroxyl groups go...

That's one reason why I didn't take Chemistry further than A-level. Pretty much anything more complicated than benzoic acid requires the hydroxyl groups, amongst other groups, to be in set positions or you mess with the properties and possible reactions of the substance given another reactant and/or catalyst/energy. Another reason is my head can't manipulate 3D without having it in front of me. But the main reasons are I wanted to do computers and I did terribly in the elective module, which our teacher forced us to do Food Science for. I'd have been much better off with Biochemistry or Materials. Dammit.
Hmm... I'm currently listening to a few albums I don't normally listen to.
This time I chose, Blue Oyster Cult's Curse of The Hidden Mirror
(Their last album, from 2001... )
I'd say I like these tracks the most:
The Old Gods Return - (The best song on the album. Just fun)
Out of the Darkness - (Overall good BOC song)
Stone of Love - (Harkens back to their older stuff, style wise. Pleasant to listen to)
Eyes Of The Hurricane
Here Comes That Feeling
Dance on Stilts (Not a bad song really. Just not great for BOC)
The rest I don't really like that much.
I'd say liking half the songs of an album makes it pretty good overall.
Fire of Unknown Origin is still by far the best BOC album. Every song apart from "Don't Turn Your Back" is excellent.
(8/9 is hard to beat! Only Iron Maiden's "The Final Frontier" has beaten it, (with a perfect 10/10! I think every song on that album is just excellent))
Maybe I'll go with a Rush album next.
(Can't just listen to Moving Pictures and 2112 all the time! XD)

Hemispheres is underrated and I really enjoyed the last one, snakes and arrows.
However, neither album you listed is even my favourite from either band. I mean Beast, Piece, Time, Son are all better than Frontier. BOC? how about the selftitled debut? Secret Treaties?
Giving two books I've had for years to a four year old tomorrow. Where the Wild things are and Runny Babbit.
Granted, the latter of the two is only six years old, but it's still from an author I loved as a child. My first book was Where the Sidewalk Ends.
At least you can remember what your first book was. I can't even remember learning how to read. Obviously, I did, but my earliest memory of having a book read to me by my parents...is my dad reading me Beowulf as a bedtime story. I was convinced Grendel lived in my closet.
Though with places having Wi-Fi and mobile devices having Skype, I suppose it's possible anyway. See who you can freak out at the bar, toasting a monitor.

It's not that I can remember, it's that it was that my mother had wrote it as a message in the book. It was a happy birthday and the year I was born.
I'm now convinced that your father is awesome. My mother sang me hard rock songs as lullabies because she didn't know any kids songs. The sweet soothing sounds of Welcome to the Jungle calm me to this day.

Although I love Number of the Beat, there are songs on it that I am not particularily fond of.
Likewise I don't think Seventh Son of a Seventh Son is all that great either.
(I do love "Can I Play With Madness", and "The Evil That Men Do" though)
Funnily enough I actually prefer Powerslave and Fear of the Dark more.
I think I may have to give Piece of Mind, and Somewhere in Time another shot.
Tastes change after all!
Likewise with Blue Oyster Cult, I love their first album, but there are 1 or 2 songs I'm no fan of.
And Secret Treaties I could never get into.
My second favourite album has to be Spectres.
I like virtually all of the songs in that album, (apart from Death Valley Nights and Celestial the Queen).
(First album would have to be third)
I think I will go for Hemispheres though, since I was thinking about that one earlier.

He also insisted that I read through the Hobbit in second grade and Lord of the Rings in third grade. Though, it ended up taking me until fourth grade to get all the way through Lord of the Rings.
My parents have mainly been classical music people so I was dragged off to quite a few concerts, but there was always Dixieland Jazz in my house due to their band that they run. Whenever I hear dixie, I feel like I'm at home.

I distinctly remember learning to read through Dr. Seuss books at 3 and 4, picking up my first "The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids" book either on the first day of Kindergarten or during some orientation thing the day before, and going through the Chronicles of Narnia books in first grade. Books made an extremely strong impression on me at a very young age.

What test is this? You can tell me, I'll probably have to take something similar at some point.
HELL YEAH!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtGlYDVp7DA&feature=related
Those tests are easy! Just don't eat the poppy seed muffins!
And don't do drugs. That one probably helps more.
Guess that's where the phrase "winners don't use drugs" came from.
Logan: *eating potato chips* I think my favorite flavor of chips is Spicy Nacho Doritos.
Me: ...I once saw a bag of chips in the store that were Dill Pickle flavored.
Logan: *look of disbelief* ... Are you joking? Tell me you're joking.
Me: Nope. They were Lay's brand Dill Pickle flavor, for real.
Logan: *looking me straight in the eyes* You're not joking?
Me: Nope.
Logan: They were Lay's--like this kind of Lay's? *holds up a small, empty bag of Lay's Sour Cream & Onion*
Me: Yeah.
Logan: ... Wow.
Or, at least people who do well on drug tests, don't do drugs.
Unless, of course the drug test were actually a med school course where it was a written test and the point would be to know which drug was which.
My Favourites:
the space station (with shuttle) in front of the sun.
And the northern lights.
*sniff*
As long as I don't have to draw the structural formula of ... say ... doxycycline with all stereogenic centers in natta projection ... fine.
If they want to know the stereo centers, it would probably be a Fischer projection, anyways.
On the other hand ... now I'd like you to show me the Fischer projection of doxycycline.

He didn't say together.

Nobody. They'll be too busy watching the football game on the bar television.

And then a step to the riiiiiiiight.
But to do this we need to cast them into the fire in which they were made ...
edit: Only after posting this did I read the post about your dad making you read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
