remembering to breathe
Can anybody explain this to me? I got it from Kim and can’t seem to figure it out.
I’ve had a crazy, crazy busy few weeks. I haven’t been doing anything but thinking about FringeAct and Mad Science and drama school and being sick and curriculum-planning and apprentice meetings and job-hunting and auditioning and schedule-wrangling and trying to drag myself from the red into the black. I haven’t been returning phone calls or sleeping properly or doing my laundry or cleaning my bathroom or grocery shopping. Occasionally, I’ve even been forgetting to breathe. I’ve been going out as much as possible to keep myself distracted from how much still needs to be done - but that doesn’t always make me less stressed out. I think this little bird might be able to vouch for the emotional state of a stage manager whose show is about to open. (I know it’s only a 15-minute piece, but I’m also costume and props master.)
Pool last night was the best pool ever. le Pratt and PWe and JHarm and I were feeling super-loopy. I felt like the ladies integrated our visiting gentleman into the lasciviousness that is pool night very well. Ahem. Fun was had by all.
On an unrelated note, here’s some stuff I hate. I hate it when people talk to me as if I’m not even there. They’re venting or scheming or pondering or something, and they’re so used to just telling me this sort of thing that they never even notice. They don’t realize that what they’re saying might hurt my feelings. They don’t realize that what they’re thinking about might apply to me. They just keep talking, not noticing that I’m pretending not to be hurt. Not noticing that maybe I’m not listening quite as enthusiastically as usual. So used to me being the objective, omnipresent ear that it never occurs to them that I might have some feelings on the issue. Or, frankly, that I might have feelings at all. This is something I hate.
On the other hand, I love Yuki. We went and saw this amazing movie this weekend. Smoochy boochies, Yuki, ya wacky bastard.
genius! Thank you. I couldn’t quite wrap my brain around it.
Awww, I love you too!
I say it’s Martian Technology stolen from said Martians by Ike.
Hey, wow, this entry was posted three times.
For some reason when I click the link, the quicktime “loading movie” frame appears, and another page pops up for a split second (too quickly for me to read anything on it), then it disappears & I just get the loading frame, which doesn’t do anything.
Anyone else have that problem?
There are a limited number of solutions (all multiples of 9), all of which have the same symbol.
10-19: 9
20-29: 18
30-39: 27
etc.
They just change the symbol each time so you don’t catch on.
Whoops, someone already answered that question.
At first I thought it was being clever by registering the mouse-over time, but no…
It’s math! Math is fun!
Note, there’s also some false positives (the “correct” symbol is also used on non-solutions) and 0/90/99 are not given the symbol (since they are impossible given the 2 digit constraint) so as not to tip you off to the multiple of 9’s pattern. Cute.
Mickey, you are too smart for your own good. ;)
RE: the psychic thing — I got it this morning from Dina, and I noticed that the symbols change each time you refresh. You can only get multiples of nine with this formula (e.g. for 10-19, adding the digits and subtracting from self, you’ll get nine each time; 20-29 give you 18; 30-39 give you 27, etc.) 9, 18, and 27 all have the same symbol, see? That symbol changes each time you refresh, so it seems like there are a bunch of options, but there’s only one. That make any sense?
