Thanks to the Doctor, I just discovered a fantastic brain exercise! Try it sometime... It's called happy numbers. Basically, you take a number, e.g. 25. You take the individual digits and square them: 2 and 5 become 4 and 25. Add those digits: 4+25 = 29. Keep doing that until you either go into a loop or end at 1. If you get to 1, you've got a happy number. For instance,
8, 64, 36+16=52, 100+4=104, 1+0+16=17, 1+49=50, 25+0=25, 4+25=29, 4+81=85, 64+25=89, 64+81=145, 1+16+25=42, 16+4=20, 4+0=4... if you get to 4, you know it can't be a happy number because it goes into a loop. Just stop there.
7, 49, 16+81=97, 81+49=130, 1+9+0=10, 1+0=1, happy number!
Recreational mathmatics is so fun. happy

EDIT: Made a mistake on 7.

Just wanted to say hi...I know I haven't been around much. I hope everyone is doing well! Classes started last week. It was a terrible week, with my canceled flight, delayed flight, T pass not working, registration screwed up, forms to turn in for graduation...pretty much anything that could go wrong, went wrong. This week is much better. happy

Sorry to see the February meet got canceled. Hopefully I'll get to see you all in March. happy

I'm sure most of you have heard by now, but for those who have not Star Wars is coming back to the big screen! Well, kind of.

On Friday, August 15th the new animated series 'Clone Wars' will debut on the big screen before it begins it's weekly airing on television. All 30 episodes will debut on Cartoon Network with re-airings to follow on TNT.

An interesting detail is it looks like Fox will NOT be distributing the theatrical release, meaning there will be a big-screen SW production without the iconic 20th Century Fox musical introduction.

Legendary Boston radio personality Jess Cain, whose voice woke up a generation of Bostonians and who also did the famous "Yaz Song" during the 1967 season, passed away yesterday at age 81 after a long battle with cancer. RIP sad

Hi all...

Roseanna... I was talking about you yesterday! LOL

Just a quickie to let you all know that I am alive and kicking. Don't get on here as much during the day and have been having PC issues at home (but have the internet now).

Job's going really well!

I'm off to Monster Jam with the Apprentices tomorrow night at the DCU!

Gotta run and catch up on everything else... talk soon!

xoxo,
-K.

Wifey and Wormie, you'll be glad to know I chipped in a bit toward your pay the last couple of months. laugh Had to hit the local Staples a couple of times in that stretch, buying a new color ink cartridge for my printer my first trip, and a USB thumb drive today. happy

And these are probably the HD versions that first appeared on Cinemax last year. I don't have an HDTV (yet), so if I wanted to watch them, I'd probably just pop in my DVDs.

Spike TV has really bad shows otherwise, besides Cops and Star Trek
