| | it’s been awhile since ive played with mercury…long gone are those carefree days when a bright-eyed, curious lad could walk into his local chemical supply shop and pay cash/no id for such memorable fun times that can be had with phosphorus, potassium permanganate, hydrochloric acid, and, of course, mercury. so then what do i find myself doing? pouring a small puddle of water onto my cupped palm, which i guess is the next best thing when mercury cannot be had. switching that puddle from one palm to the other without spilling any, and furthermore keeping the rest of the hand/palm dry is the whole trick to it. and, that, is how i play with water in lieu of mercury; it’s oddly, though serenely, amusing sometimes. and it was during one of these times that i imagined the puddle in my hand freezing, which i thought would be even more amusing- kind of like a miniature ice sculpture-type deal; of course i wasn’t intoxicated at all or anything... but now, i really DO want to see the shape of my cupped palm as an actual piece of ice. so, i figure if i mold my hand in clay and bake that, then make a mold of that, i will then be able to fill it with water and fulfill this short-term goal. maybe i can also get one of those old music boxes with a revolving platform to place this physical nate-made manifestation of boredom atop- physical, cuz it already exists in my head. then perhaps a small cocktail party to display it at,(i’ll even do birthdays). sometimes i overachieve, i know, haha |
