Miscellany
A friend is making a cork board from wine corks; if you have any you'd like to get rid of, I'd be happy to get them to her.
I got to play backgammon last night, courtesy of ZZBottom. I haven't played in ages; it was a lot of fun; low-key base 6 entertainment. That *and* a viewing of some JP architectural details. Thanks.
Continuing to skirt the issue, the NYTimes ran an article today about a boy who wore a dress, make-up, and hose to school. There's a lot about the kid himself, who has done some other things seen as non-PC by the school in the past. The part I like most is that he's already said he might wear a dress, makeup, and all, again, except for the hose. I hate hose.
Everyone's talking about the Matrix flix, and of course I start to think about intrepid scalars, undaunted by matrices of any size, not to mention those matrices that try to push boundaries, trying to multiply with other matrices of incompatible dimensions. Definitely a period chick flick. Mmmm... matrices in hoop skirts. Though if there are transformation matrices, rotating geomtric figures through n-space, perhaps it should be an sf adventure?
