It was . . . the greatest moment of comedy I'd had in a while.

Although singing "My Humps" in the empty laundry mat this Saturday with two good friends while dancing around with my men's long underwear on our heads came close . . .

;)

Hope you're doing well!!

Hahaha.. now I would have loved to have seen that!

Things with me have been pretty hectic. Lots going on with the whole job situation, and not at all very pleasant, unfortunately. I've summarised it somewhat (but not very well) in previous entries.

I've been getting very geeky lately (and I'm not saying this is a bad thing at all) - bought a couple of Darwin books on the weekend, and "Flatland" (you should know that book well, being a mathematician!), plus I've got a stack of other science ones I'm yet to get through still!

How was your time in BC? (Or did I remember that wrong?) I'm old and forgetful, if I am! *grins*

About being geeky, that's awesome! I've been reading a spinoff of Flatland called Flatterland for a while now. It's fun stuff! I hear Flatland is also a Victorian satire.

Have you had an luck job hunting?

It was PQ, and it was awesome! I love Quebec. :)

haha. We have a rather eccentric group of people in the math department.

Paul Gies has a particularly funny biography on his site that speaks to his home asteroid being destroyed as a child and going to school at the Outer Planets School Disctrict, etc., etc.
