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

I managed to get a couple of new bras that I'm not lost in and ONE pair of pants. I wish I could've found more, but my curse of stores always managing to NOT have my size seems not to matter on the size.
And no wonder I was walking out of my pants. They ranged from unforgiving 16 to a generous 14. These are a forgiving 10.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Vortex, I am so, so sorry.
My family had a weird weekend in terms of connections -- we went out of town, to a small restaurant, and knew people at 2 of the 6 full tables. Then this morning, we knew two people on the obituary page. One old man (sad for his family, but not so surprising), one younger man (40s, father of two) who was hit by a commuter train. So sad.

Kinda nuts. I suspect I'm actually a between 10 and 12 now, if you average out the sizes of the pants I have that fit me now. Probably depends a lot on the cut (and some inconsistent sizing.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Sara, I wish I was there to help with the shopping.
I am trying to get all things ready for tomorrow. Breakfast is done (banana bread), lunch for me is done (leftovers), mac's snack is done, mac's school bag is all packed, our dinner is pre-made. Tonight I need to iron clothes for both of us, and I am going to try and get my shower tonight also.
Goal is him asleep in the next 30 minutes and me an hour after that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
For Teppy: Trio of nested Klein bottles
The London Science Museum's image gallery sports this beautiful trio of nested Klein bottles (a Klein bottle is like a Moebius strip extruded into one more dimension): "This is one of a series of glass Klein bottles made by Alan Bennett in Bedford, United Kingdom for the Science Museum, London. It consists of three Klein bottles, one inside another. A Klein bottle is a surface which has no edges, no outside or inside and cannot properly be constructed in three dimensions. In the series Alan Bennett made Klein bottles analogous to Mobius strips with odd numbers of twists greater than one."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
How can the bottles be nested if none of them has an inside?

I am normally fairly not into stuff like this, but I think I want a Mobius scarf! [link]
