I like ice in my water. This is because I like my water cold. So after I finish a refreshing glass of H2O, I am often left with a tumble of ice in my glass. My dentist has bred in me a respectful fear of "microfissures" - small cracks in your teeth that allow another entry for hateful plaque. All together this means that after I am finished with a glass of water I have an amount of ice to deal with. If I am outside, or near to it, and especially at night, I like to launch the ice into the air (just jerk up the cup so it spits all the cubes out). The ice glitters prettily in the air, brief and falling stars, and the sound they make when they hit the ground is always rewarding.
Tonight, after watching a play, my friends and I went to the campus center to enjoy some ice cream and camaraderie. Finished with my glass of water, I walked to the edge of the patio and cast the ice into the air.
