Episode One hundred fifty-nine: Fin!

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

End of Book! Yowsa!

Yes, the end of Flatland.

End of my romance with math…or my infatuation that turns out to be completely misleading like how that guy was who I dated while I was teaching at the reading school who… um…TMI?  Infatuation? Maybe. Because I fooled myself into thinking I could balance my checkbook if I understood Flatland. There is no Transitive Property in my life.

The Lightning Thief (by Rick Riordan)! Read the book…not so much the movie thing…

And that’s about it! Have a great time until I get back with Persuasion (thanks Meg!).

A. Square's House from Above

How A. Square Sees a Box

Lyrics to “Too Late…”

Halfway across the globe
And we’re standing on new ground
Screaming ‘cross the waves
You can’t hear a sound
There’s no fair trials, no trade, no liberties
No tea
We’ve colonized America; we won’t stand for tyranny,
Oh king

And it’s too late to apologize
It’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize
It’s too late

We’ve paid your foolish tax, read the acts
And they just won’t do
We want to make it clear, we believe this much is true
All men were created with certain
Unalienable rights
Among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit Of happiness

And it’s too late to apologize
It’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize

It’s too late…
