Another Picture of Che

There was an outage of internet connectivity at work earlier. We had expected it to last until 6 a.m., so retrieving access already is a pleasant surprise. I was earlier working on a puzzle, the answer to which was this quote:
Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one."
--C. S. Lewis

At the time, I was working in my writing book, which is actually a hard-bound computation book filled with graph paper. I've run out of loose-leaf graph paper, and I have had to fill some pages of my book with puzzles in the meantime.) Working in this book and seeing this quote, I couldn't help but recall the moment when both [livejournal.com profile] veek and I realized that we like to do our writing on graph paper, something each of us had thought was a unique trait. I wouldn't say that that's when our friendship was born, but it was certainly a priceless moment.

FriWSJX: 32. Lots of odd words and other trivia. 24D was hilarious, though. SatNYTX: 20. Very heartening after yesterday's troubles. SatLATX: 15. A good puzzle, although I was really bugged about the cross of 18D & 24A.

And I'd like to mention, yet again, that I've got a date this Sunday. It's very exciting, moreso than my usual date, I think, though I'm not certain why.

So ... anyone out there like to do their math homework/tests in pen? Using statements instead of symbols? Anyone?

graph paper

Years ago I preferred graph paper for various kinds of writing.

Oddly enough, now I prefer paper with no lines at all.
