SO here are the pictures I promised!
So we had to freeze a container with a half milliliter of diethylamine (NH(CH3)2) with... LIQUID NITROGEN! Of course, all work and no play makes jack a dull boy!:
GREEN LIQUID NITROGEN! Laser pens really shine through this stuff, eh?:
Obligatory Star Wars reference:
What lurks beyond the misty gates?:
MARCOS LURKS BEYOND THE MISTY GATES!:
We had to refill the actual tank of N2 at one point, and the hose, it froze:
During one of the blackouts at the apartment, I had a bit too much fun with my camera:
At my cousin Evelyn's apartment - loving my vest to death and rockin' a new hairstyle:
ENERGY TO WIN! Win what, I don't know, but I like winning so I ate it:
Yes, that's braille. On a cereal box. 'Cause they're awesome like that in Argentina:
Somehow ended up by the Obilisko while I was wandering the city after failing to meet up with people at the bar (for the US-UK game):
SO MANY BOATS! View from the room I stayed in (Lucas' - her youngest son) at Evelyn's:
Delicious chocolate dulce de leche awesome birthday cake full of win!:
Alejandro's (my second or third cousin once or twice removed lol) dog. His name is Quark, because Alejandro is a phycisist! (He also has a dog named Wilca):
Greater Buenos Aires (BsAs is technically the province and the city I'm in is technically La Capital Federal):
Family!:
View from Evelyn's apartment at night - quite spectacular:

CARS!:
And here's the daytime view - CLICK IT CLICK IT CLICK IT! Well for an actually decent view of this panorama, anyway:

One day we went by the river to eat. Pretty awesome times:
And a few videos of fun with liquid nitrogen. N2 molecules are such that in liquid form, they'll bounce right off of any water they hit. Check it out. We also froze some acetone in a vial and made some wicked awesome ethanol (yes, ethanol) smoke. Oh, and when ethanol freezes via contact with liquid N2, it looks like ice but feels like a gel. Awesomely weird, lol:
