^ That's awesome Feyokien! How do you like it so far?
Well is was great up till I got kicked out of college for the semester
. I'm going back into Geo or Hist in the fall.
Fukang Meteorite, one of the more interesting things I've seen
Ah, yeah I can see how that might put a damper on things! I briefly majored in History. I find it very interesting, but it so happens I suck at remembering all of the important details (of the areas that don't interest me).
That is an awesome meteorite! The way the fiery parts shine through reminds me of opal veins:
Do geology courses cover the study of meteorites or other extraterrestrial specimens?

Sorry about the college thing
Don't be, I needed the break. Geologists aren't perfect after all we do have our faults. Schist happens. Now instead of going to the most grueling summer field camp in the departments history, they altered it this year for some reason to be shorter and more intensified, I'm instead going the Pacific Crest Trail for the summer.

I heard it and it got stuck in my brain.

So many times I've thought the words of a song were different, and some of the alternatives my brain dreams up are pretty amusing. Yeah, it's nice when I find an artist/band I like that goes against my typical preferences.

We covered meteorites somewhat, mostly in mineralogy where I learned about the Fukang meteorite. A lot of the program is geared toward oil bearing sediments.
Did you know that opals aren't actually a mineral with a crystal structure. They're an amorphous solid, SiO2 hydrated with water. They can actually be dehydrated through heating and destroyed.
Reminds me of Labradorite. If I ever get a high paying job, this is what my counters are going to be made of

The PCT sounds like it will be a great adventure.

I've been caught out in the past.

No, I did not know that
, I am now interested in looking into the dehydration process. Fascinating!Wow that would be an amazing counter-top! We have the T-Rex restaurant (Disney) here and they have massive Amethyst pieces built into the wall. It gave me the idea of having an entire wall like this with varying types of geodes/rocks/minerals/etc.

Beautiful opal, reminds me of labradorite.
I've been doing Android things with marshmallows in my Java...

^ yes, I looked up the lyrics and apparently their singing:
"People won't be people
When they hear this sound
That's been glowing in the dark at the edge of town"
(there's more but this is the chorus)
I think it's the "people won't be people" line that somehow sounds like lederhosen to me.

I hear "beach balls" way more than "beautiful people." It'd be funny if that's what they where singing about.
When the band first appeared on TV, they actually had beach balls on the stage.
Just to make it more confusing.
But there's definitely no beach balls in the lyrics
