Yesterday

Went to Oxford comics, bought lots of gifts, as well as bags and boards.

Spent some serious time bagging, boarding, and boxing.

Saw gwynraven, in town for a concert, who crashed at our place.

Played Backyard Baseball 2003 (a pretty nifty computer game, although our version is older than the one currently on the market, and doesn't come with actual MLB players) with Elayna.

Attempted to explain the infield fly rule to an eight-year-old. Thanked every nonexistent deity I could think of that the game doesn't include balks, too.

Met asim, and hung out with him, shadesong, sibylla, ryokan, and elfboy999. Watched Josie and the Pussycats for the umpteenth time.

Less than Zero.

We just bought a nifty looking division puzzle for Elayna from Garlic Press We opened it and started playing with it, only to discover that they think you can not only have a problem of one divided by zero, but that the answer is zero. They repeated it for two and three. I'm assuming that someone just fucked up in their factory, but I'm appalled. This is basic math literacy, and in a toy designed specifically to teach math skills. Yeah, I've written the company. I'd also highly discourage anyone from buying from them at this point. I'll update if I hear anything from them (like offering replacement pieces with the correct facts.
