LFDOC
A professor saw me in lab yesterday, and told me that I had a problem with chronic over-dedication to my work I have no idea where he gets this from
Today was the last first day of classes of my undergrad education. Of course, this is assuming I won't screw up my competency this time around, which may be a bit of a leap, but whatever. It's kind of when it really hits you that 'oh hey, I'm graduating so long as I don't mess up a presentation that I need to work on'. My PI's back. I don't know how to feel about this. I need to figure out what I'm doing this semester.
So that big nasty giant time conflict I was worrying about? Turns out that the school website had the times wrong for Bio-organic, so that I'll just be missing Wednesday lecture of Bio-organic in favor of Analytical lab. Which is a LOT less worrying. How are you, world?
And a meme, stolen from hecatescurse. Because I did need better resolutions.
In 2012, giallarhorn resolves to...

Anyhow, there's a new Sherlock and Once Upon a Time out!
Firstly because I have a little less to remark on, Once Upon a Time.
I'm still suffering a bit from the CompareeveryothershowtoFringe issue, which isn't fair. Which is probably why I'm a little harder on the show, but mostly because they give so many situations that are just ripe and full of these really amazing moments to explore that gray area of morality, instead of the constant divide of Good People vs Evil People that you usually see in fairy tales, and...
Well. It doesn't really utilize those opportunities to the fullest. I felt like they had an amazing chance to keep Rumpelstiltskin as a character who was well intentioned, in his own way, at the start, before he became less and less moral. Instead, they just opted to say 'oh look at him now he's the new Dark One', which if that isn't casting his lot in with the lot of villains, I'm not sure what is.
That said, I did like that episode a lot better than most of the ones so far. Just urgh, so much wasted potential.
And on further length, Sherlock. tl;dr- I liked it a lot, except the ending felt like it detracted a bit from the episode's worth.
Is that actor Alonso, or is that just me being bad with faces?
IMPORTANT. Was that a TARDIS I spy in the first couple of minutes? This post on tumblr really does illustrate it fairly well, and I've gone back to double check, and it's there. And very very much police box shaped.
I feel so bad for John for having to put up with SO MUCH. What happened to the patches, though?
You know Sherlock, your life would be much much easier if you just used your resources a bit more once in a while as opposed to just trying to go behind your brother's back.
I think the overall best part of the episode was how Sherlock reacted so badly to what he had seen- because he is so reliant on an empirical sense of things, he's a victim of his senses. And poor John has to put up with the lashback.
That ending sequence was a little strange, to be quite honest. I get that it was supposed to be a lead in to next week's episode, which really does just make this episode feel a bit too much like the Blind Banker, of how it was just a standalone episode.
Oh, and apparently the trailer for the next episode is also out.
And on a last note, sweet_anise showed me a video that really is informative on multiple levels, particularly regarding the media portrayal of females and a lot of other issues that result from it. And you should all watch it, because it is a very good video, albeit compressed.
