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?

Nope, he can't possibly be. Rowlf first appeared on the Jimmy Dean Show (yes, the sausage guy used to be a singer) back in the early sixties, ten years before Waits's first album came out. Waits was only 14 when Rowlf started pounding away on his piano.

I am corrected. However, I am curious if Rowlf was always a piano playing dog, or if that aspect of his character developed later.

Breakfast This Morning: Sauteed mushrooms scrambled with eggs, chopped green onions, cheddar and gouda. Lattes & english muffins.

We're listening to Belle & Sebastian. JZ is reading my Mojo magazine about Kate Bush.

Matt should go to Stockholm. Other people should go to London. Maybe everybody should go to London.

Maybe everybody should go to London.

Yes, this.

::waits for everyone to start packing::

I would like to go to London! Although I should go someplace else first, as I've been to London. How's late May?

I vote for a F2F in Bruxelles. At the chocolate shop! ::totally giddy::
