Why Being A Scientist SUCKS today

 Now that I have addressed why being a scientist rocks, I shall now explain why being a scientist sucks recently. Now, I have been going through some stressful time recently, and there are 4 things that really keep me going.

      1. Friends

(I love these people!)

     2. Food

(I am super hungry right now!)

     3. Science 

(PS I took this Electron Microscope Image of a diatom!)

    4.Song 

(I <3 Florence and the Machine)

That being said, recently the later 2 of my driving forces have been conflicting, and it is bugging the someone-else's-Hell out of me. For whatever reason, my scumbag brain has been noticing parts of songs that are scientifically inaccurate. 

Scumbag brain

Not the blatantly impossible stuff, like Nicki Minaj's Starships, but the just slightly inaccurate things. For instance, I really love the song shake it out, especially if I am in a sucky mood.

Listen to it now...

I prefer the glee version, only because it is more mellow... Don't hate me for this.

It's a spectacular song, and it brings my crappy mood down to a simmer. But recently, my sciencey brain has been saying no to the lyrics. The song's lyrics go like this 

I like to keep my issues strong
But it's always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out...

But my brain says this 

I like to keep my issues strong
But it's always darkest approximately halfway between dusk and dawn depending on the conditions of the atmosphere as well as the moon and other celestial bodies
Shake it out, shake it out...

And it is bugging the shit out of me. My stupid brain is choosing to nitpick on a lyric of a song, and I can't get it to stop.... 

And that is why, right now, it Sucks to be a scientist. Because science ruins my music!

Science also sucks by creating a low pressure zone, but that is a different topic. 

Also, I need to buy more eggs.
