Entry 386 — 4 Mathemaku from c. 2005
As of part of my continuing neurotic habit of adding small projects to my over-extendedness, I began going through my old blog entries to find out when I made various mathemaku of mine, for I posted all of them at my blog, I think, as I finished them (and even when sketching some of them, as well as when revising them). I’m now up to my 600th entry. I was happily reminded of the many frames I’ve done for my Long Division of Poetry sequence: around thirty, I’m pretty sure. I found one sub-sequence that I quite like and don’t think I’ve ever posted as a sequence:

I’m not sure whether or not the following frame should be considered at extension of this little sequence. Originally, I added it simply because I thought it nice, but not worth an entry to itself. Now I begin to see how it may connect to the other two. . . .

Not that any woman ever drove me to drink. Wait, women were the reason I drank: I only went to bars for the strippers, except the few times I wanted to watch Lakers’ games before I had a television. I drank more beers (always beers though I never liked the taste of beer) than needed to cover the cost of being there mainly to make the strippers look good.
You’re going to upset the feminists with that last comment, mister. By the way, the copy editor in me tells me there is some grammatical hell going on in your opening graph for this entry — i.e. “now” disguised as “not,” and read the first sentence out loud to yourself. Regarding the mathemaku, I think the first one is perfect already, and the others are unnecessary.
Well, thanks for the copy editing, Kevin. As for your literary criticism, I’m afraid I have over 30 other divisions of “poetry” logic would require you to say were unnecessary. But no problem: now that you’re a Californian, your literary opinions don’t count no more.
Note, despite your comment, I have approved you as a commenter here. Just shows what kind of person I am, right?

You seem to be implying that you can outperfect perfection. That’s so Grummanly of you.
