Not for the faint of art.
Complex Numbers

A complex number is expressed in the standard form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers and i is defined by i^2 = -1 (that is, i is the square root of -1). For example, 3 + 2i is a complex number.

The bi term is often referred to as an imaginary number (though this may be misleading, as it is no more "imaginary" than the symbolic abstractions we know as the "real" numbers). Thus, every complex number has a real part, a, and an imaginary part, bi.

Complex numbers are often represented on a graph known as the "complex plane," where the horizontal axis represents the infinity of real numbers, and the vertical axis represents the infinity of imaginary numbers. Thus, each complex number has a unique representation on the complex plane: some closer to real; others, more imaginary. If a = b, the number is equal parts real and imaginary.

Very simple transformations applied to numbers in the complex plane can lead to fractal structures of enormous intricacy and astonishing beauty.

It's important to do the unexpected.

PROMPT May 26th

Complete the following sentence: When I’m in the mood to celebrate, nothing can stop me from ___________.


Sleeping.

Look, it's really very simple: if I'm celebrating, that means I've worked hard to get where I am. I mean, I can observe occasions like National Wine Day (which was yesterday) by drinking, but even then, afterward, I'm going to pass out for six hours. Drinking is nice. Drinking is wonderful. But sleeping is divine.

When I'm done with a project, there's nothing more that I want to do than just go unconscious for an extended period of time. But it's not just projects. I'll be at a party, and everyone around me will be having a good time, and I'll be like, "You know, I could be sleeping right now."

Today's entry is short because I'm hung over from National Wine Day. I'm going back to sleep now.
