Sep. 29th, 2007 10:58 amA gorgeous photo of a festival to Ganesh in Mumbai.
It is so the weekend. I am SO SO pleased. And I probably have a ton of homework, but I'm going to go get coffee and pastries and relax with some Connie Willis first. I mean, what are Sundays for?
Also, some Wacky College Hijinks:
"--Who the heck is calling me? Hello?"
"Heeey, it's Lauren."
"Hi, what can I do for you?"
"Um, do you know that thing at the end of plays? A [something that sounds vaguely like:]"
"A deus ex machina?"
"YES. Oh, I love you. Do you know how to spell it? A friend of mine needs it for a paper."
"Sure, D-E-U-S . . ."
"Holy crap, you are like the smartest person ever. You have the most amazing memory."
Same person I explained dithyrambs to after our prof had explained them at least twice in class. Seriously, tell me: is paying attention to stuff hard? Do I have a much better brain for trivia than I realized?

Reading criticism, and criticism on criticism, is ruining my ability to be entertained. Oh, not entirely: I can sit down and read and giggle, or watch TV or movies and gasp and laugh and cry, but even while I'm doing that I'm analyzing why I'm reacting, how I'm reacting, how others are reacting.
And especially, lately, how difference is being presented and how I'm reacting -- or not reacting -- to that.
( Heroes, Milliways, my dorm. )
There are, like, three other topics I wanted to cover (Supernatural, TV in general, and why I don't notice these problems in novels as much and why that's problematic too). I'll have to do those some other time -- the issues aren't going anywhere.
ETA: Oh hai Heroes premiere spoilers in the comments of this post (no specific ones in the post itself)!

Dear graphic novelist/moviemakers:
Barrow does not have 30 days of night.
Barrow has closer to SIXTY days of night.
So there.
