Fucking Hell.
Aug. 4th, 2003 09:39 pmSpent most of today folding brochures, reteaching myself long division, and drawing Golden Spirals and Rectangles. These are the things i Do when I'm Bored. Also, if i work on 128 brochures at a Go, then i can make the whole thing a Tortise/Achilles/Zeno exercise. Keep cutting in half, till you wind up with One. Re learned metric conversion, read a fuck ton of Hofstadter, and finished the First Itteration of the Difference Engine. Along those lines, i made myself a neat little rule, today. However much i read, in Difference Engine, in a day, I have to read double that in GEB, before i can pick up D.E., again. Motivation, as it were.
Had an odd day, of fire drills. Rather, people pulling the fire alarm, in my building, and causeing me to walk 9 flights. Twice. On the first one, i had a bit of a Patience problem, in the aftermath. The Elevator Lobby was very full, and i didn't want to wait. So Up nine flights of stairs, i went. With a 30 pound pack on my back. Haven't done that, in a very long time. Was a bit winded.
I've been measuring time in CDs, again... 4 hours left at work, so 4.25 CDs, or there-abouts. LCD Clockwatching...
And the subject line is about this: My family tried to destroy a Beautiful spider web, because... It was in the Yard. Part of it was attached to one of the pillars, on the porch. Not blocking the door. And they wanted to destroy it. I had to fucking Command Them to Leave The Spider Web, Alone. They listened, but made snide remarks. My policy is This:1) Don't fuck with spiders if you don't Have to. 2) Unless they are In your House, you don't Have to. *sigh*
And that was my day, really. Found out how to make perfect Septagons, too. In a really Zen way. :) heh.
