Using Science in Every Day Life

When I lean over and the light hits my glasses lens just right, I can see a tiny little elbow rainbow* there.

Strange places where I've felt my pulse: at the crook of my elbow, when I was trying to support the damaged joint without straining the muscle too much. This might be my radial recurrent artery. Previously I've heard/felt my pulse when leaning my head against my palm (frequently), once in my thumb (!) and possibly once in my neck.

I have managed to extend my stay in my current apartment until the end of September. Nonetheless, I will try to con myself into starting packing as soon as the semester ends. Once I am in my new apartment, I'm getting a quality barometer and affixing it to my wall, so I can examine my theory that sudden changes in atmospheric pressure make my knees act up.

My body: an ongoing scientific experiment.

* ETA: Take this as evidence of how much my elbow hurts.
