Aw dammit

I'm looking at a little box of paper clips, and it's funny how its label in English, French and Spanish is sort of like a miniature, postmodern poem:

55 Paper Clips
55 Trombones
55 Clips

Say that in your best William Shatner voice. Moving!

Those curious about how the "big date" was I will refer again to this page from the QPQ archives, because it is, detail for detail, how things transpired. To no one's surprise, really. I'm a bit of a hard sell, I've come to realize.

Compounding the crushing disappointment of this week, Robert Mankoff couldn't make it on Wednesday and his lecture was cancelled. I flew into a violent rage at the Iowa Memorial Union when I found out. By "violent rage" I mean I gently kicked one of those folding floor signs and left.
