No, that's very elegant, Emily. Very nice. The kind of thing Euclid would do if he had Descartes to help him, really.
Now I feel like I should change my name so you don't have to jump through hoops to address me.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

It's okay, it was kind of fun.

Except Euclid would say, "To apply to a line segment AB a parallelogram similar in area to a given rectilinear figure F and exceeding by a parallelogram similar to a given parallelogram" and I would throw my hands up in disgust and scare my cat.
Er, which is pretty much what happens at bedtime every night.

What is even happening?
Oh, I think it's fascinating, don't get me wrong. Just that...if it was "Do that or equation or I'll kill you!" I'd be a very dead girl.
Yeah. When I see people do math like that, I feel sort of the same as when I look at super thin models. I *know* it's technically a possibility, but I don't know how, and have a hard time believing it's real, even when I'm looking right at it.

did you like the format? cause if so, why care that is a franchise?
Well when I heard it I was all, whoa, great idea, and then I was like, dude, this station really knows me, then I was all down with the guy doing the Jack taglines, and now I'm just feeling like a sucka.
And also, I was willing to overlook a few crappy songs because I figured there was some independent DJ coming down from his pot-break in the back room and realizing he accidently left Madonna's "Holiday" on the playlist and it doesn't seem as funny as it did at the time. Now I suspect the songs are played based on actual surveys and marketing tests. Ugh.

See, but math is like using a vibrator. For the longest time they had us convinced it should only be attempted by people with advanced degrees, but actually you just need some free time and privacy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I dunno ... sure looks like this group's having fun in public.

See, I also do not have one of those. I read people talking about them, so I know they must exist, but I'm never quite convinced.

It's important to get the right angle.
