Please please tell me how to bend my brain around bauxite and coal resources in India economic geography is so boring even cinnamon flavoured chewing gum can't get me to try and study it, and nothing - not even re reading Harry Potter or looking at vintage erotic photographs as a reward can get me to do it

Vintage erotica as reward! That's brilliant. If I'd have thought of that a few years ago I'd have done a lot better at school than I did. Mind you Coal! - you need heavy duty encouragement.

Well chocolate never really worked for me, and besides, if dark haired women from the 1930s can't keep you up at night, then not much else really has a chance...
Really I can't imagine you plotting density maps of asphalt roads - so just as well you didn't do well in school , you might just have been tempted to become an authority on the climatic adjustability of asphalt and what would would have happened to poor dear Proust then?

Oh dear Bauxite can't be that hard. You might need to use calcination and roasting ( to remove the carbonates and sulphides). I will prefer doing the Hall's Process on clean aluminium oxide. Its a simple electrolysis done by adding some cryolite ( NaAlF6). You can also make soluble salts of aluminium by adding some hydrxides to produce NaAl(OH)4. High temperatures are needed for this process and Al is highly prone to oxidation! Bauxite mines in India should be located in the central belt ( rajasthan, gujrat, MP etc).
Hope this makes sense. Presently I am reading The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne.

Sweetness, I will write of bauxite everyday if that is what it takes to draw you out of your underground experiment chamber where the green fumes rest as wreaths upon your head

Learning only for exams I meant.
And I'm reading The Island of Adventure by Enid Blyton right now, but I grant that your choice of book is far superior...
I read Barks and Purrs a while ago though, and the illustrations are lovely, and I hope you'll read it, now that you've got both Tess and Ms Brodie.
Love,
a/e.

Yeah actually I heard of it months ago, was really excited and then it probably sank into my unconscious cause I had completely forgotten about it - have you listened to it?

[elizadarcy]

Actually I haven't read the Heroes recaps as yet, I was planning to , then I learnt they have a Heroes marathon on Sundays, so I'm hoping to catch that, even though Heroes watching for me seems terribly jinxed - I mean they have about three re runs plus the main episode and I haven't ben able to watch a single episode over the past three weeks.
But I will go and see Television Without Pity, because I didn't really know of it.
I would probably have tried to read the recaps on wikipedia or imdb [ if they have recaps...]

Hello...I was just wondering if you wouldn't mind me adding you as friend?

It's not that often that you come across someone who appreciates romantic poetry as well as knowing who Clovis Sangrail is, you see.

[elizadarcy]

Oh I'd absolutely love it if you add me - I saw the Percy Bysshe Shelley is love bar on your journal and squealed hurray!
I haven't watched Brideshead Revisited but I had a still from it as my desktop background for a very, very long time.
So, let me into your journal?

[dothestrand]

Added! Nice to have you as a friend. :)

If you ever find a copy of Brideshead it's definitely worth watching. And the book's very good too, for that matter - one of my favourites.

I got quite excited over the Shelley love bar too. It's the little things in life...

[elizadarcy]

It's the little things in life...
Yes of course!
I 've just finished adding you as a friend - most of my journal is friends protected, so it does seem a little deserted if you're not on the list.
Oh and I saw that you like stuffed daltmations - that is absolutely, surrealy wonderful because I consider my dalmation hand puppet my version of Aloysius, while also finding other stuffed dalmations almost impossible to resist!
