Anyone around remember their complex numbers?
A bit. This isn't about Egyptian methods of calculating them, is it?
Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
ALL numbers are complex to me.

No! This is about polar forms, or how to express 3-4i as |z|(cos theta + i sin theta). I'm okay with the z (it's 5), but I'm a little unsure about theta. From my notes, apparently it's inverse tangent(-4/3), but then I should check to make sure the angle measurement I come up with is in the right quadrant, and that's where I get a little uncertain.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'
They are rerunning the whole thing on Sundance this weekend in a marathon.
That's great. I missed the first three episodes. How many episodes of the show is there?

Behold... 3. Become mesmerised in its intricacies! You are powerless to resist its seductive fascination as it saps your will and makes you its willing slave!

Don't you mean (3 + 0i), nudge nudge, wink wink?

This is like Charlie Brown's teacher talking to me.

Anyone watch all of Supernatural Tuesday or tonight? I watched the last 40 minutes, roughly, but I am baffled about what happened there with the dead girlfriend on the ceiling (?!) and the spontaneous combustion at the end. Can anyone fill me in?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Amy, what happened at the end is the same way their mother died in the first five minutes of the show.

Because books.
Ah! And, oh. That's sad. Thanks, Dana!
I might actually watch it for a few more episodes. I like spooky stuff. And they're both very pretty.

AmyLiz, that's a callback to the opening sequence. What happened to his girlfriend is exactly what happened to his mother, when he and his brother were very young boys.
