gogmagog: The Fourth Doctor from <i>Doctor Who</i> (oh you public menace)
TODAY WAS DOCTOR WHO SEASON PREMIERE DAY, WOOHOO

ExpandThoughts on Doctor Who 04x01, Partners in Crime - massive spoilers, obviously )

Edit: Huh, Charlton Heston died. Though I frequently disagreed with his politics, can't deny the man was in some awesome movies in his day.

Lately I've been listening nonstop to the album Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs! by Hellogoodbye. It's almost painfully cute synthpop occasionally verging on the pop-punk, which probably explains why I like it. They also have pretensions of indieness (for my own values of "indie"), specifically to the point of mildly clever but pointless wordplay that they clearly are very proud of and think is much more meaningful than it actually is (see also: Fall Out Boy). Still, their music is catchy and hummable and cheerful and energetic, which generally means I will probably like it. XD

...I spent a good portion of today at the library doing research for my seminar paper, but I feel like I've got a few of the pieces that were missing in my argument, so it was worth it overall. Now I just need to finish writing it by Wednesday evening, argh.

Why is this Star Wars fanfic so cathartic to read when grading? ...oh yeah, because Darth Maul is a Sith composition teacher who a) has to deal with regular TA duties (so I can identify), and b) is evil, and can afford to flunk everyone and/or make them drop the class. :D

Needless to say, I'm writing up speech comments. This group of speeches was actually pretty good; I'm almost looking forward to enjoyably bad papers again in the fall, since papers tend to be so much more atrocious than speeches, and it's been a while since I had a good teaching story. (My last one was the John Brown/James Brown mixup, and that was a full year ago now.)
