Ugh. This is really gonna nag at me for, oh, weeks? I'm trying to remember how long it took "Reichenbach Fall" to loose its impact with me. Because if there's one plot device I hate more than death, it's "heroic sacrifice". And, not just "heroic sacrifice" but calculated, there's-absolutely-no-other-way-out-of-this-situation sacrifice eats me to ( Read more... )

Ugh. Finally did it. Finally watched "The End of Time". It was even more depressing than I thought it would be. Tennant is a genius at emoting and his angsting here was like a kick to the gut. But the first few seconds of Eleven's life...didn't suck and I could maybe eventually sorta kinda see myself watching his episodes. Potentially.

While ( Read more... )

It's official: I'm off my Sherlock kick and way, way into Dr Who. Sadly, the fandom is uninspired and, frankly, a bunch of wankers. Which is quite a shame because Ten. Oh, such untapped potential...

I've seen almost all Ten's episodes, and I watched them in no particular order. However, for some reason, I watched the Donna and Martha season's ( Read more... )

We had a micro working conference today. The course director was leading it, and he was pretty manic (probably because he had to spend the last module sitting in the back of the room while the virology "professionals" ran the show badly and he couldn't do anything about it).

Anyway, he asked a question about how strains of Staphylococcus aureus ( Read more... )

Over these past few days, I've felt like I've surpassed my capacity for socialization: I'm becoming better friends with some people from class, and I actually spent yesterday doing a double-header for Ultimate followed by 5 hours at a Valentine's get-together. Most of the people there I didn't know and I found rather...distasteful? Does that make ( Read more... )

I had the same problem with Dr Who that I did with Jonathan Creek: it took me a bit to get into it (as in, I couldn't finish an episode because I got bored) but then, something clicks and I fall for it. I have found the TV show for Module 6!

I'm currently watching the the library episodes. My plan was to watch these two and then go to bed. Then, we ( Read more... )

Hell Week is over. Thankfully, I made an A on the physiology exam, which secured my A for the class. This is great, because if I had relied on the Shelf Exam to raise my grade, I would have been disappointed. It's funny: 4 modules of physiology and in that cumulative, national exam, I didn't know anything. I feel like I'm in remedial med school ( Read more... )
