Corrections to yesterday's entries

Yesterday I was running on far too much stress and far too little sleep. I therefore present the following corrections to yesterday's entries.

1. Concerning the fairy flaunt, I meant Murray's (which is a place in which one can get ice cream) and not Muddy's (which is apparently not a place in which one can get ice cream).

2. Concerning the matter of geeks: I do not think that lack of personal hygiene is a factor in determining geekiness. However, sometimes disconnection with the mundane world of day-to-day tasks does seem to come into play. Unfortunately, for some folk, that seems to include not just not paying the bills on time, or forgetting when one has a doctor's appointment, but also forgetting to eat, sleep, or wash. I am in the "loses appointments due to intense desire to finish the book" category myself, and I sympathize.

Apologies for the errors. Awake now.

Happy Escher Day

"At high school in Arnhem, I was extremely poor at arithmetic and algebra because I had, and still have, great difficulty with the abstractions of numbers and letters. When, later, in stereometry [solid geometry], an appeal was made to my imagination, it went a bit better, but in school I never excelled in that subject. But our path through life can take strange turns."
MC Escher, born on June 17, 1898; Dutch artist renowned for his geometric art

Out-of-context quote of the day:

"About the same number of people who think it's an advantage to be a woman in America would eat a rat on live TV. Clearly, we've got some work to do on the whole gender-equality thing."
