Ok you got me. It's just a laser pointer. But you have to admit they're pretty cool. With enough power you can get a beam of light to travel for miles without fading out into oblivion. And up close, it's bright enough and fine enough to write on desks apparently*.

Brand new! It's got one LED in it. Just one. I "tested" the little guy and couldn't see a damn thing for an hour. It's incredible how something that small can produce so much light. I stood in my living room at night with all the lights off and aimed it at the white ceiling. The light bounced off that ceiling and ran into everything. It looked like it was daylight in my room. Pretty cool stuff.
I used to have a green room. Not like a Hollywood green room. Just a room that was painted green. Light green. Relaxing green. Don't know why it's so relaxing. Probably because it's one of those cool colors Susan was talking about. Either way, every time I walked into that room I just felt better. Like, actually physically better. I don't get it. All I know is that I miss it. Everything in florida comes as a harsh, oppressive white. Combine that with the popcorn ceilings and its just an all day anger.
I bought the best lamp ever. It's actually more like 5 lamps in one convenient little package. One base, and then 5 lights branch off at the top of it. What's cool about this lamp though is that it came with different color shades for each light. Orange, Red, two different blues, and a white. The lamp has three settings too. First one turns two lights on. Second one turns on the other three lights, and the third turns em all on. So I get to choose what kind of lighting I want depending on the mood im in. I break the red lights out for angry times when I feel like punching things. Or I'll turn on the blues when I need to chillax. I'll also turn on red when I'm cold or Blue when I'm hot. I swear it makes me warmer or cooler. It's weird how color affects moods and feelings. Our brains are odd. I wonder if this happens with dogs...
Every morning when I wake up the sus is at just the right angle to project a perfect shadow of the leafy trees onto my blinds. I'm lying in bed and just watching the shadow move down the window, dreading actually getting out of bed. The shadow is so perfectly crisp it looks like it's painted on there. Makes me want to paint over it just to keep it there. I hate palm trees. Florida needs more leafy trees. They cast better shadows.
I did some research on that blacker black than black material. In my searching I came across lots of mascara, a bunch of pictures of Samuel L Jackson, and finally, a whole wealth of information about this cool new "carbon nano tube " stuff. From what I gathered, these materials are made up of about a million trillion gagillion little carbon "hairs" that are able to trap about 99.5 percent of light that hits them. This means that they are .5 percent away from making something completely invisible. Now, I'd mainly want this so I could make a suit out of it and creep around town at night. But according to NASA, this stuff actually has some pretty heavy scientific value to it. I'm not exactly sure what. They used some really big words when describing it, but from what I can tell it's pretty friggin' nifty.
