Last post, then I sleep.

Basically, my day was boring. So boring that I want to tell youse about it and infect you with the boredom!

I got up. I rejoiced, for lo, the internet was working again. I went online. I contemplated my addiction. I went to class. I got all my late-adds. I played super mario world - and killed several castle bosses. I'm now stuck on the Chocolate Island ghost house.

Oh, and I am doing a project of some sort for my women's studies class. I managed to cadge myself a cushy assignment of "women in sci-fi" by using the completely reasonable argument that, due to my very good hearing, I'd be completely and totally unable to participate in a group project. Sheesh, forget about being able to understand everybody else in that setting, I was ready to run screaming from the room it was so LOUD.

And now I'm not sure what to focus on. Women sci-fi authors? Women in sci-fi through the ages, from classic sci-fi to today? Women in fanfic (much of which seems to be sci-fi or fantasy based, and anyway the prof wouldn't know otherwise)? Maybe I can expand slightly. Feminist themes (including gay themes, etc.) in sci-fi? Or fanfic? All that slash has got to indicate something!

Help!

Um, help later. Now I sleep.

Wow, I'm pissy today.

Edit: I decided to give this piece a final grade. Except then I didn't know what grade to give. On the one hand, it's really trying hard to encourage more tolerance, and it does have some good advice in there. On the other hand, the author makes the classic mistake of assuming that all people from a group are the same, and has some *serious* vocabulary issues. And, of course, despite lip service to the idea that autism != only bad things, there's really very little indication of this in the piece until the very end - and that's more than balanced by the "your child didn't choose to have autism" and "now we've got some cure ideas" that are in there.

So I can't really grade this. Sorry.

So, I just watched Monsters, Inc. again.

Question. Where are Boo's parents? Don't they worry when their daughter is mysteriously gone for an entire day (or more)? Are we expected to believe that they don't even move after they get her back, that things just go back to normal?

BSG has octagonal diskettes.

Wow. And, like, other stuff.

I'm starting to suspect, though, that this show shouldn't be crammed into an hour. It makes it all feel rushed. Maybe an hour and a half, break with TV tradition a little?
