How to Party
We decided to "go out" Saturday night: which meant, in our language, to go to a very trendy and noisy gay coffeeshop down the block wearing sweatshirts and windbreakers, and to spend our time in a booth watching people play pool and trying to write a proof for the angles of triangles necessarily adding up to 180 degrees. If you think we weren't having fun, you are a fool.
After I'd finished enjoying my chamomile tea, I proceeded to draw the saddest face in the world on my paper cup.
Fruits of our Labor
"The problem with my proofs," I said at some point, "is that they're circular logic. Triangles can only add up to 180 degrees because they can only take up half a circle if one of its sides is the diameter. They can only take up half a circle because they have to add up to 180 degrees. Damnation."
"Triangles add up to 180 degrees because you believe it." Michael said fondly, and added the caption. We watched the lonely single guys tapping at their laptops, and ate a peanut butter cookie while he finished figuring it out.
