(aq) no more

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

We’ve decided that writing about liquids just wasn’t cutting it out for us. Two months of using this site as an excuse to drink/buy copious amounts of tea, beer, wine and cocktails has given us rather unfortunate reputations as serious drunks. Thus we’re going to turn to a less dangerous phase of substances to work with. Solids sounded like it would make us fat, and we’re not quite so brave as to delve into the gaseous phase. The only reasonable phase of matter left then, is supercritical fluid, known completely erroneously as, plasma.

The first review of our newly christened blog will be of Plasma Pong. Join us as we travel to Hawai’i and jump between volcanoes!

Welcome to (aq)!

(aq) is written by 2 friends. We feel especially knowledgeable about this subject because we both

1) took the same introductory chemistry class where we learned what (aq) meant

2) are scientists that research things that exist in a kinda aqueous-y state

3) are students that spend an inordinate percentage of their stipend on aqueous consumption

4) grew up next to a large body of water (the Pacific) and now live next to a smaller body of water (the Atlantic)

5) have exactly the same taste in liquids. meaning we must both be awesome.

6) drink everything that’s not fruit juice or soda… and sometimes we even make exceptions for those (read: Trader Joe’s fruit juices).

So, sit back, enjoy, and if there isn’t already, get a mug/glass/cup filled with something fairly liquidy (preferably not your ex’s blood). There’s a world of substances to enjoy!
