...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

...oh man, that would be EPIC. Going up there in a suit, polished shoes, professional haircut, classy portfolio...and a 20-foot-long multicolored scarf. I CAN SEE IT NOW

You'd obviously have to take pictures. And/or have someone videotape the whole thing for YouTube posterity. >3

And if nothing else, the scarf would give the panel chair a useful handle to drag me offstage if I run over my allotted time! It would work like the old-fashioned cane from the Looney Tunes cartoons. XD
