3 things

1) I can't write equations on the blog. I could before. LaTex doesn't work any more.... I started to write about my recent mathematics and realized I couldn't type math symbols. Sucks.

2) Martini. I don't drink cocktails, or I just haven't had cocktails--of course, I have several times, but not so many times. I always thought if you had whisky and beer, what more do you want? Wait a sec. I'm having martini and I wanna go smoke. (Here, I go out to the veranda. -->) I'm back. Somehow I have hiccups. What was I talking about? Martini. Well, since summer is coming and for some other reasons, I bought a bottle of gin--gin, yes, everyone who knows me would say, "why not whisky? When summer approaches, I tend to buy rhum in addition to whisky and beer. This summer, I didn't buy rhum because I rather buy whisky if I pay the same price. Good rhum is as costly as nice whisky here. And inexpensive good rhum is hard to find. So I settled with gin, attracted to its bitter taste. Still, hiccups, hiccups. Now that I have gin, why don't I make martini? Probably there is Vermouth in the living room. Yes, there was. Do I have olive or orange or lemon? No. So, I made martini minus olive. But still it has an interesting taste! Gin and Vermouth goes well together really. I don't feel they were mixed. It is bitter. It is smooth. It has a pleasant flavor from vermouth. I say it's a very British taste. It is not continental. (Subjectivity matters. I think Martini is from the US, though..)

3) Writing. How can we freely write? I write three topics in this post. As a result, this post is ugly (as usual). If I want to write something readable, I have to concentrate on one topic. A good example is a mathematical writing. I prove something. If I want to present it elegantly, I should not mention how I discovered it or what implications it can have. There are so many things I want to write and I have to supress. I hope some day I will be good enough to be able to write whatever I want to in a readable fashion.
