Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
We characterize those families for which our formula is cancellation-free.
I have no idea what this means, but it looks amazingly cool. And yay Hil! (With a kick in the pants to your no-good no-help adviser).

Actually, tree is also a math term, and a forest means a bunch of those kinds of trees. And those trees also have roots and branches and leaves, because it's way easier to just use words that already exist than to invent new ones. (I know that one professor in my department will mock me for using the word "poset," because he says it's not a real word. It's not, but everybody uses it, because the alternative is "partially ordered set" and that's just a pain to type out a million times.)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I made DH look at it. He know enough to understand some of the stuff that can be done with the field of math that Hil is studying.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
W00t, Hil!
So, the hazards of baking two pies at one time include having them drip all over the oven. I usually have an old pizza pan under any pie I bake, which has served nicely to catch drippings. But I think these pies dripped more than their fair share. Gak. Any want to come clean my oven? I'll give you a pie for your efforts.

Yay Hil!
Vortex, I could almost see my way to wearing those leggings. Under a skirt and petticoat, and with boots. Not as, y'know, trouser -type objects.
Today's lesson: sometimes the start of my period doesn't make me all depressed and emo. Sometimes it makes me just want to KILL EVERYONE WITH THE POWER OF MY MIND FOR NO REASON. Thank goodness Pete is going off to D&D tonight, because I am not good company.

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
