OH SHIT, NARUTO KILLS

LOCK UP YOUR WEEABOOS

Okay, it's kind of sad, but they lost me the moment they mentioned Naruto, then I just started giggling. Also, not sure how "bright" this kid was, to be quite honest. "OH LOL I AM GOING TO BURY MYSELF HEADFIRST IN SAND LIKE NAROOTOE, BECAUSE I HAVE SAND-MANIPULATING SUPERPOWERS AND DO NOT NEED TO BREATHE...oh wait."

MILK IS MURDER

WARNING: RANT AHEAD WHICH MAY OFFEND SOME

( Rant about obnoxious vegans )

This was sparked by discussion on this ONTD post; yes, I know ONTD is the armpit of LJ, and that sanity is SO not a requirement to post there, but it really just brought up some issues that had been irritating me offline for a while.

Edit: Also, I just got a sales call that assumed I only spoke Spanish and asked for a "Jose Rodriguez." STEREOTYPING FOR THE LOSS.

What's even funnier is that my mom sometimes gets this too, despite not being Mexican except in last name (she didn't change it when she divorced my dad). Though to be fair her Spanish is better than mine - i.e., it exists - and because while she was married to my dad they actually spent a lot of time with his family, she probably makes a better Mexican than I do, lol.

god why am I so obsessed with this show

...h, holy shit, the English grad student/faculty e-mail list just sent out a call for papers for a conference on British SF and television.

THEY EXPLICITLY MENTION DOCTOR WHO

...........I, I kind of want to submit something orz

(Maybe if I make a lot of progress over spring break and come up with a good idea for a Who article, I'll submit an abstract; and I have to say, the thought of doing a Doctor Who scholarship lit review kind of makes me want to cream my pants.)

Edit: ...oh shit, you know, a paper on the implications of Who's treatment of medieval history/life (for pseudo-alien-medieval stuff like The Ribos Operation) would actually be not that irrelevant to my own CV, orz
