AfootThere are things afoot at ktheory. I am switching to Movable Type. I’m sick of Blogger having outages. Plus, I’ve played around with Movable Type a little, and I really like some of the features.
Since I’m in Binghamton for winter break, I have to use the family computer, which is three years old and wholly […]

If I were a work of art, I would be M. C. Escher’s Lizards: “I am a bizarre juxtaposition of the real and the unreal. Based in the realm of mathematics, my two-dimensional appearance belies a complex and free-willed behaviour which both delights and confuses people.”
I think that hits the nail on the head.

Instead of writing a 2000 word paper, maybe I could turn in two pictures instead. The professor would think I’m so clever, punning an adage, that he’ll give me an A. Man, that’d be great.

I went to a Saves the Day concert last night with Adele and her friends from Northwestern. It was pretty fun, but I think I would have enjoyed myself more if I had more angst. Lead singer and songwriter Chris Conley writes very depressing and violent lyrics, often fantasizing about mutilating ex-girlfriends. Since Adele […]

Positive visualizationAny athletics coach can tell you about positive visualization. Before a race, imagine yourself beating your best time and inching out your competition, and it will help you during the race. Positive visualization may work in sports, but it does not work in sexual relations.
Often, I will positively envision myself hooking up with a […]

What’s the big deal with Buffy? I don’t see why it’s popular. Sarah Michelle Gellar is hot, definitely, but she’s not enough to carry the entire show (Britney Spears, on the other hand, could easily carry a TV show). The plot is preachy, not to mention cheesy. And the folklore of vampires and what not […]

The song “One Million Miles Away” by J Ralph is really good. You might recognize it from the “Big Day” Volkswagon Jetta commercial.
Many people think it’s annoying to have a song stuck in one’s head. While it probably is irritating for people around me, I like having a song stuck in my head. It relieves […]

Thanks to those who responded to my last post. It makes me feel good to know that not everybody reads ktheory because they’re bored.
On another note, you can get into the holiday spirit by giving me things.

To my audienceI never understood why people read this web page. I write almost purely for myself. Why would anybody else care to read it?The other day, while surfing other weblogs, I had a small epiphany. I was incredibly bored. That�0�9s why I was reading weblogs. You must be bored too!I feel like a just […]

I�0�9m thankful for my family, and for having the opportunity to pursue my dreams.

My math midterm kicked my ass, but it kicked the rest of the class’s ass too. Distributed ass kickings are more suffrable than focused ones.

While I continue to kick ass in my SCS class, I fail to kick ass in my Math and CS classes. I have midterms tomorrow in both Math and CS, for which I am currently unprepared. Fortunately, my parents sent me cookies.
Also, I’d like to complain to the people who made certain English grammar rules. […]

I enjoy the following confections:

M&M�0�9s
Hershey’s Special Dark
Snickers
Smarties
Life Savers
3 Musketeers
Milky Way
