Odds-n-Ends
I really did have a real post idea for today. But…I’ve got all these one-liners that need saying. So here goes.
1. mladyjade and suthainn--Mazel Tov! Please let me know what I’m congratulating you for, mmmkay?
2. Is no one else doing a year-end meme for 2005? Is everyone waiting for Saturday evening, like me? Or am I reading the wrong blogs again?
3. The woman who’s living my other life is dissing cornfields today. I feel hurt, but then I gripe about her native landscape all the time.
4. chemgal18, your alma mater wants me to schedule a first-round interview. I’m sort of excited. What sorts of questions will make them love me, and what sorts of questions will make them squirm?
5. I have horrifying cold feet about this talk I’m giving at the national meetings. It’s joint work with S, so I feel really guilty admitting this. I’ve also talked about it so many times that I don’t think it’s interesting anymore…but I keep talking about it to undergrads, so it’s impossible to write this talk for professional mathematicians.
6. I bought a big racquet. I swear I’m almost not-bad now. Mr. Olszewski was right…”If you want to play in the big band, you need a big instrument.” Actually, maybe that’s not what he was talking about….
7. Seen on a magnet at Cute Little Store--"I lost my virginity, but I still have the box it came in!" I don't know why this keeps cracking me up, but I suspect it's the word "box."
8. Yeah, so I finally downloaded AIM. I'm not going to use it much, but you people keep leaving the damn country and I miss you! Email me to exchange screen names, okay?
