Oh, Matt, you should so definitely do that!

I dunno, if I could eat chocolate, the promise of visiting a Bruxellian chocolateria would swing me towards that. As it is, it would just be sheer torture.

However, I've sweated away another yoga session and am now basking in the ensuing endorphins, which I've fairly earned.

Matt, why not?

Go, Theo! You've definitely earned that.

Keeping kosher can also do that. When I was in the conference in Rome a couple of years ago, the smell of ice-cream floating in the streets was so hard to bear, it was so amazingly good.

[Edit: 5*2=7+3, and the first hugs the second, like it's comforting it since it can't have ice-cream, too.]

Where did everyone go? I don't want to have to start cleaning yet.

FWIW, Chumley says you don't have to. But he is notorious for not having a conscience, on account of felinity.

Yay for Chumley!

I am super-slacker, since all the west coasters were up before me, too.

Happy (Belated) Birthday DX!

Yeah, if ita had favored (favoured?) London, she would have mucked up your decision process with a spanner.

This made me laugh.

potential gift for Jesse!

This, too.

Why do babies HATE having their noses wiped and faces washed?

I knew a kid whose parent (s? can't remember) would wipe its nose with their HAND. That kid really freaked out when I went at it with a tissue. (Note: Use of "it" is because I can't remember which kid it was and whether it was a boy or girl. I am confident the child was, in fact, one or the other.)

I'm probably 'fessing up to the worst sort of vanity, but I look much prettier in my own head than I do in photographs. Ah well.

I look completely different in my head -- I have no real sense of the actual shape of my face, even. Weird.

Nilly! Would you mind if I ran a math thing by you?

Also, hi!!!

(You know I don't just love you for your math, right?)

Would you mind if I ran a math thing by you?

You know I don't really know math, right? I just know how to use some of it. But I would love to try and help, if I can.

(You know I don't just love you for your math, right?)

(Hee. You know it's true for why I like you, too, right?)

Belated Happy Birthday, DX!

t MATH

I just know how to use some of it.

Good enough. Check my reasoning, okay? p and q are relatively prime. We have two numbers, p/4 and p^2 + 3q^2 (and we know all of these are integers). If p is not divisible by 3, then these numbers are relatively prime as well, because (this is the part I need to be checked on -- the above is true, I need to prove it) you can divide p^2+3q^2 by p/4 and get 4p + (3q^2 / (p/4)) (I'm kind of using the Euclidean algorithm a bit). Then the problem is reduced to 3q^2 and p/4 -- p/4 can't have any different factors from p, nor can q^2 from q, so the only way 3q^2 and p/4 can have any factors in common is if p is divisible by 3. Yes?

t / MATH Also, I've taken to writing M.Sh.L. at the end of proofs in my notes, just because it makes me think of you every time. Though I suppose, for completeness, I should figure out how to write it in Hebrew?
