and therefore any group that contains it is nonabelian.
Oh, duh. Didn't occur to me. But I could use mine with the clause (or leaves x and y unchanged if n is even), right? It doesn't really change the proof -- if I'm doing it by using the isomorphism with a regular n-gon, then there's always a permutation where x goes to x but x+1 goes to something else, right? because x and y would have to be opposite each other.
Anyway, I'm tired and have done pretty well in the class so far, so I think it's okay if I'm a bit sketchy on this homework, so long as I go look up the answers if I get them wrong.
Gronk.
We failed to contact the Kindercare people today. I kept forgetting it was Monday, on account of Paul being home.
However, we made a dozen cinnamon rolls, had my parents over for gingerbread pancakes with pears and lemon butter, took Paul's grandmother to the Apple store to pick up a Mini (OMG, G5 20" iBook LUST), and I'm curling up with the girl while Paul starts making the soup from the stock I made last night (when I also dried a couple of apples in prep for our future fruitcake).
Freaking productive on the domestic front, at least. Our only break today has been the hour or so we took to watch an episode of Due South. I want a Vecchio of my very own.
Yaay! Done!
Boy, I love spell-checking my math homework. Word's all, "Um, tau squared sigma isn't in my dictionary. Please don't ask me to suggest a replacement."
I hope she means iMac.
Btw, this week, Apple is expected to release updated 40 & 80 gig iPods, possibly in black as well as white. Also, G5 towers are getting a refresh.
You know, when I received a 20 gig iPod, it didn't occur to me to think about the fact that I only have a 35 gig hard drive. Oops.

Okay, I want to go to Plei's while I spend two days licking my wounds in my jammies. I'm an excellent baby wrangler from all accounts. Too bad it's far away.

Word fails to be mathy. It's a
feature.
Headache is icky (thanks for the temple rubbing) but mostly just annoying. I've spent more time home today (six hours currently) and mostly awake than I have in the last month. I don't actually know what to do with myself since I don't feel motivated to clean or anything. I guess I catch up on tv and unset my alarms.
Oops! Yep. iMac.
Oh. Sigh.
(Though really, my iBook lust tends towards the 12" models. They're so portable!)
