Honestly, I thought SpongeBob wore itself out about two years after it aired. But, what do I know? I literally haven't watched it in years anyways.

How did the appointment go?

Well, yes and no. Yes, in that you can find new planets in that way! There's actually a bunch of techniques used, but that is one of them.

However, no is because it's not what my project is about. Instead of just stars, the telescope my project is concerned with is also looking at galaxies (so... a LOT of stars). In my project's case, really distant ones (billions of years ago away, so much so that they would appear like a point source or star in other wavelengths). Ideally we're going to use ones that are radiating a lot of radio energy right now (we're using those as a background source, or a searchlight, if you will).

The spectra it looks for against these sources should indicate if there's any hydrogen gas absorbing this radiation either near the source (which means there's neutral, relatively cold hydrogen gas in the same galaxy as the radiating source) or in a galaxy between us and the source. You need cold neutral gas (and lots of it!) to form stars, so knowing which sorts of galaxies have gas tells us about galaxy structure, and also knowing these details in distant and hence 'early-type' galaxies can help us know how galaxies evolved over the ages. There's a lot in those areas we don't yet know.

It became redundant like all of Nick's other shows.

Two words: SquareBob SpongePants! If you seen any NickToons lately, that one's been recycled constantly in many different forms and it's gotten extremely worn out. In terms of the real sitcoms, the original stuff was really hit and miss to begin with.

To be honest, it's no longer worth my time watching one channel for one show. The monotony's gotten that bad.

Believe it or not, I sing to myself quite a lot, especially if it's a song I love. I think I sound good to myself, but when I try to record, I sound horrible.

I dunno, but I wish I had such talent as well. I tell people that I wish I had their talents (such as drawing, music and even writing *ahem*), while others tell me they wished that they were as tech-savvy as me. {XD}

Yeah, that's why I ultimately stopped watching it, even the few shows I actually liked like The Legend of Korra.

As said over skype, I hope moving out happens/goes smoothly for you!

I have a mixture of exciting and unexciting things. The latter includes an assignment, and being sick. D= The former includes in two weeks going off to do observations with a telescope (not the one my project is primarily concerned with, mind), and also that the telescope my project is concerned about is still working and may be taking measurements (spectra) of a small list of targets I came up with! Yaaaaaaay

Wow, the artist that drew the Serperior image has a Snivy one too :D

they all loved me as a person but hated me as a student

haha passive aggression is always good

Ooh, Legends of the Hidden Temple and Double Dare were some of my favorites! How about What Would You Do? A lot of the old shows definitely beat the crap they put on Nickelodeon today. It's a shame, really...

nah man if i didnt want to do anthing i didnt do that **** lmao

yeah i probably... stood up to teachers too much tbh. was always in trouble

Ah, that makes sense :D

Also that Serperior avatar is one of my favorites haha

Oh? Ren and Stimpy? Catdog? Rugrats? ALL THAT? Kenan and Kel? Rocko's Modern Life? Doug? If you know ANY of those, you truly are a 90's kid/baby! :D

Wah, I seriously literally won't have time to finish the review challenge :( I'm almost never at home and I need sleep. It's a pity, but what can you do.

That didn't take long to return :P

Yeah, I am... Sorry about the rant, but Star Trek TNG/DS9/Voyager were literally my life through the 1990s. My dad would sit me down to watch EVERY new episode EVERY Monday, Friday, and Sunday night respectively for each. And we did watch almost every episode together. At one point, I almost had the entire chronology of all three shows completely memorized, save for minute details.

mhm. i mean we sound like old people when we say things like that but it's very true
