ICE CREAM

Being an adult has a few advantages. Chief among these, I think, is that you can eat ice cream pretty much whenever. For instance, at 11:15 a.m.

I haven't yet formulated the recipe for a Discussion Section. That's where I am, so I will likely do it soon..I'm thinking it should be gin-based. As I get farther along in my thesis writing, my drinks will get progressively more alcoholic, I think. I'm writing in this order: Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, Introduction, Abstract.

An Abstract Section will probably end up being something like a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster:

"Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster

1 bottle Ol' Janx Spirit.
1 measure Santraginean seawater.
3 cubes frozen Arcturan MegaGin.
4 liters Fallian marsh gas.
1 measure Qualactin Hypermint Extract.
1 Algolian Suntiger tooth.
Zamphour to taste.
Olive garnish.

Take the juice from one bottle of the Ol' Janx Spirit.

Pour into it one measure of water from the seas of Santraginus V -- Oh, that Santraginean seawater, it says. Oh, those Santraginean fish!

Allow three cubes of Arcturan MegaGin to melt into the mixture (it must be properly iced or the benzene is lost).

Allow four liters of Fallian marsh gas to bubble thrugh it, in memory of all those happy hikers who have died of pleasure in the marshes of Fallia.

Over the back of a silver spoon float a measure of Qualactin Hypermint Extract, redolent of all the heady odors of the dark Qualactin Zones, subtle, sweet and mystic.

Drop in the tooth of an Algolan Suntiger. Watch it dissolve, spreading the fires of the Algolan suns deep into the heart of the drink.

Sprinkle Zamphour.

Add an olive.

Drink... but... very... carefully."
