My brain, eaten.

So today in physics we were talking about the bastard children of cosine or sine waves and decaying exponentials.

Anyway, as in my notes:

The second bound state has a sine function. Its E is bigger than the cosine, so the wave penetrates deeper into the forbidden region.*

It didn't help that for the rest of the class, the Prof kept using the phrase "penetrates the forbidden region" to describe the little tail pieces of the graphs. I am too immature for this stuff.

And then, in chem, I read slash undertones into orbital theory. Sigh. Electrons with the same spin state can't go in the same orbital. It's Forbidden. (Except when it isn't.)

Forget "Empirical evidence" in Harry Potter - you know you're corrupted when...


Right now, I should be studying this fun stuff, instead of playing with LJ and listening to random songs and trying to make music vids in my head. Endless entertainment. (Even if it doesn't work well with comics.)

But, okay, has anyone ever heard "On the way up" (Peter Mulvey)? So Crowley & Aziraphale's theme song.**

On the way up - I felt clean
Driving along in a waking dream
The rollingest hills I'd ever seen
Felt like the best me I'd ever be
On the way up I just knew
The night before, I'd been good and true
And honest and brave and over you
It was the easiest thing to do

But I'm going down
I'm going down to where my demons are
I'm going down
I'm going down
Wave if you see me from afar I'm going down
On your way up

On your way up, understand I'm going down
I wish I'd put so much more in your hand
The better pat of this heart's bitter land
I swear there is more here than sand

On your way up, think of me
I'll think of you I guess that we'll think of we
And you will always mean what you mean to me
I hope one day we'll look back and see

but I'm going down
I'm going down to where my angels live
I'm going down
Please, remember; please, forgive


Can't you just see how the vid would go? Crowley in the Bentley, the sun glinting off his glasses as he drives by, and the camera pulling away like a car commercial, leaving us with a painfully bright view of the English countryside and a lone black car vanishing in the distance. Aziraphale in the dusty store, carefully shelving books, looking thoughtful and not quite content. And scenes from the Last Days, ducks and wine, and facing the apocalypse with a flaming sword and tire iron, and a Young boy smiling in a way that wouldn't be disturbing on anyone else.


*Not an exact quote, but I figured no one but me would see hilarity in the math part.

**If, you know, they needed one. Which they don't.

It also works for Clark/Lex, strangely, whereas Kryptonite really doesn't.

*Resolutely does not write songfic.*

And, yes. They said that on the small scales, electrons have a varied and incomprehensible lives of their own, and it turns out they're right. (Although the new generation of physicists is rather more open about that sort of thing.)
