Hil, may you have a very productive week, and may your officemate come back from his trip having learned some manners.

I ordered my new digital camera today! It's a Sony Cybershot! It is supposed to be a birthday gift to myself, but I ordered it early because I decided I NEEDED it for the F2F.

Some good old-fashioned dog~ma for Ginger. And coping~ma

{{{Ginger}}} tons of -ma for you and your doggie.

As for omnis' objection (spoiler font, in case... I don't know): as a person who's coming from one of the main places for persons-with-sensibilities-to-the-H-word, the main excuse I heard for "don't tattoo/don't write things on your hand/body with a pen" was that.

It took me until highschool to get that shit out of my system. I have much stronger reasons not to tattoo myself (Hey, Pain and Eternity!), but especially these days, when most Holocaust survivors are dead and tattoos are very common, I think it's rude to interfere with others' private life style choices. If you know you're going to meet Holocaust survivors, yes, wear something to cover that tattoo. I think that this "don't tattoo/write stuff with pen on yourself" is in the way of private/personal freedom more than it's likely to be in the face of another Nazi policy victim.

That, of course, is only my opinion. When I have to write something important and there's no paper around me, that's objection is the first thing that comes to my mind.

doggie ~ma for you Ginger.

Ya for SJ getting new camera for f2f!!

Dog~ma and coping~ma to you, Ginger.

Congrats on new camera, sj.

Lots of dog~ma to Ginger.

good thoughts to you and your doggie, Ginger.

Doggie~ma, Ginger!

Do I want to stay home tomorrow and clean? I got a nice result in my research today, so I feel like I accomplished something there. There's no reason I absolutely have to work on math tomorrow. I'm feeling motivated enough that I probably would get some actual cleaning done. But on the other hand, I feel like I should be putting whatever time I can into math.
