Euler's identity still makes me go, "Oh, holy wow!" It's just so...neat.
Oh yeah. It's just ricockulous. I cannot even conceive of an imaginary exponent to begin with, let alone a transcendental one.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I can think of transcendental exponents as limits, but for imaginary exponents, I don't have a terribly good picture of what that means. I know I used to think about it in terms of natural logs, but it's been a while since I've really looked at it in any way other than power series.

Oh my. What a great picture! They look really happy, as well as impossibly cute.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

slow motion fall for Chloe -- I kept saying tuck , tuck... He may not get you but he still wins if you die. What I find interesting is how little I care about abby. She has gotten stupid -- the reason you kill some one like wakefield is to make room for people like Henry / jimmy -- the ones I'd like to be the heroes of the piece.
It has been fun -- worth it .

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Great tennis today at Wimbledon. And in non-match outcome news, the roof was closed over centre court!

I had a Farmer's Marketity dinner ( I went to the small local one on Sunday morning) - cold cucumber and yogurt soup (cucumber and dill from the market), fish from the market with some more dill on it, then a small green salad (lettuce from the local CSA, a neighbor gave me). yummers.
mac out of nowhere announced he's supposed to be learning to take bath by himself. um yeah, for like the last 2 years. who knows why he has decided to do it now, but no complaints here.

Cool.
I am behind - but I was a bit sad that Melanie Oudin didn't make it through. But I'm hoping that we will see her at the US Open.

Hey, if having it be his idea works!
I think Loki has discovered the glory that is a/c. Normally he's down here all evening and he wasn't, so I went looking. Found him splayed on his back on the foot of the bed in front of the a/c. It's not even terribly hot (78 downstairs.) He wasn't inclined to be disturbed from his belly-cooling.

How nerdy am I? I just corrected the QI twitter feed.
Also, my arms are so tired from yoga that typing is almost too much. I was trying to read Infinite Jest and it was too heavy.
