Dolmio, December 2006
Maths nerd that I am at times, I've just discovered that 2007 has the prime
factors 3, 3 and 223, i.e. 2007 = 3 x 3 x 223. Fascinating, ay what? Numbers
homework with Eldest tonight: one runner completes a lap in 66 seconds while
a slower runner does his in 72 seconds -- when does the first runner catch up
the second? While you're scratching your head,
here's last month's
Dolmio (Doings Of Last Month Innoparticular Order).
That is to say, an attempt to capture past(a) events before they
slip... my... mind.
December 2006 was spent:
- watching Nick Park (and Peter Sallis) on the South Bank Show
- reading The Wisdom Of Crowds by James Surowiecki
- attending The Boy's wriggly nativity
- listening repeatedly to The Raconteurs
- downsizing the desk
- watching Soviet Cinema, new: Night Watch
- watching Soviet Cinema, old: Battleship Potemkin
- sussing out the triangular Pure Chronos
- fretting about having a contract of work for 2007
- getting back into NYPD Blue after a break of years
