between sitting down to do something on the computer, and the feature length span of time later when you actually get around to doing it? The, while these pictures for the project that I have to put together and send without exception by this evening at the latest are loading, I'll just check my email. oh yeah - and that link at the top of the page to my RSS reader - I guess i'll just hop over to that and see if there's anything new good. which there isn't really ... but it's good enough that you spend about the length of an episode of House scrolling through blogger updates like this
recently I've been waxing poetic for no good reason. I'm not sure if it means that I'm passing into a realm of nuttiness, or acute observation. but if I'm going to be a prophet ... I'd like to be one of the ones that gets old and a huge beard and wanders around on boxes of soap. not one of the ones that gets martyred in a public stoning. I don't want to be stoned at all actually ... especially not in public.
now - for important news.*
there is this guy. named Bo Burnham. and he. is hilarious. whether you are interested in math or not - you have to listen. there are a few lines like the 'domain domain range' bit that you might miss, and the part about underage women and perfect squares might make you cringe just a tad bit; but it's a SONG about MATH! this hasn't happened since the famous set math song of '06 !! "I'm living in a kernel of a rank one path!" hahaha - the math nerd in me rolls on the floor laughing. oh. wait. that's the real me. and the real me cracked the explicative up watching mr Burnham's piece as well. you will be a better person from it. and don't we all want to be better people?**
*if you still have time to read this after checking out those other sites.
**even though the realism of the situation would make you want to say 'be a better person', the grammar of parallelism can only be satisfied with a secondary plural. Unless I said 'each be a better person' - in which case it's assumptive and requires an infinite poll to prove.

ahh, thanks for the link. i was never a struggling youth.
so THERE.
on a completely different league, but... did you have those math songs as a kid - the ones about subtraction, multiplication, etc?
cause they were great. i think my parents still have the records (yes, records) at home. i'll have to check that out...
a) you're still a struggling youth.
b) I would pay money (not much money of course, because I'm a broke grad student) to hear what you remember of those.
c) I'd even be game for a trade ... because I have songs about advanced differential equations ... and I'm sure they're just as bad.
