Yeah, I thought it wasn't bad fluff. And I've always liked Dean from Gilmore Girls. Who is not Dean on this show.
Buffy: Where are the burgers? Riley: Yeah man, I'm starving. Cow me. Xander: I'd love to make with the moo but the fire's not cooperating.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
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.
All true, and the quadrant you wind up in will be the lower right quadrant. The real part of your number (i.e. the 3) appears on your x axis, so you'll be right rather than left. The imaginary part (the -4, i.e. the coefficient of i) appears on the y axis, so you're lower rather than upper.

Because books.
Thanks, Sean!
I keep running into "Of course, we all remember how to do the blah blah..."
See, that's so not me. I barely scraped through high school math and never even took calculus, and in college I managed to take some History of Math course with an insane old guy who wore a beret and made us read Flatland and the annotated Alice in Wonderland. And I still use my fingers when doing basic sums half the time. I applaud all you mathy types because your brains are so sexy. I have a mad crush on Charlie from Numb3rs.

That made me blink a few times, too.

It's true, my sex organ weighs 8 pounds and you can't fit your hand around it.

Of course! Of course you are! What the fuck is wrong with me? No, I'm serious. For some reason I was putting it upper left, which is entirely the freaking opposite of what I want!

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

Yes, but it's all floppy and wiggly and where's the fun in that?

No, no, the axes are... not quite arbitrary, but it feels that way when learning which way around they go. It's easy to transpose them.
