Yet another list \o/

[kiaxet]

So! Stuff!

1) LJ and sales and Russia, oh my! I figure so long as the default color doesn't become red or some such other stereotypical nonsense we'll be fine. Might actually be a good thing.

There. That's my obligatory RUSSIAN!LJ LOL joke. We're done now.

2) Had my first final this morning: science. Noooooo, I did not like that class. The only question that I had to leave (mostly) blank was this one:

Name four contributions the Ancient Babylonians made to the science of mathematics.

Um. Aside from base 60, I don't have a blessed clue. :D; GOOD STUFF.

3) I...have a paper on John Constable to write before tomorrow, as well as a Humanities final to study for. I should probably get on those, especially if we're going to the Hyde Park Corner winter festival tonight. :3

4) CHRISTMAS CARDS! DON'T FORGET! :D

LIVING IN AN OPPRESSIVE FASCIST SOCIETY DOES TEND TO STIFLE THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOPHISTICATED HUMOR

AND IN SOVIET RUSSIA, CREATIVITY STIFLES YOU

... Didn't the Babylonians come up with a symbol for zero? Or did someone get there first? I can't remember anymore. D: But yeah, that's all I've got.

OH SNAP FINALS. Geeze, I've got to study.

I wanna say that was the Mayans, but I'm not sure...

Thaaaat... may be right. I think I was thinking of using the symbol as a placeholder. Positional system an' all that. (Gawd, I'm lucky I can remember the base 60 thing at all, let alone anything else. D: )

SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIZ. ;;;;;;

That was it. Zero as a placeholder. That was one of them. ;;

What's John Constable? I could look it up if I felt like it, but I don't. :o

[kiaxet]

He's a British painter who painted incredible landscapes. I love his work and I love the painting I'm writing on, I just need to get to it.

[tafkae.livejournal.com]

*wikis* ... Oh wow, he was good. o.o What painting are you doing?

[kiaxet]

Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows. I saw it my first Fine Arts class in the National Gallery, and without even knowing what it was I fell in love with it. It's real symbolic, too, so I'd have a lot to write on if I could ever buckle down to it.
