Reports of alien abduction have been greatly exaggerated

Hullo there, lovely flist!

You may have wondered what I've been up to for the last, oh, month and a half or so... on the other hand you might see this pop up on your flist and go "she was away? didn't notice!" but, anyway...

I've been working late into the nights, but I've finally handed in my thesis to my advisor this week. Next week, he gives me

Hi, you! ♥ Good luck on the defense!

Hahaha, I love that the very first post on that comm says I CAN QUIT ANY TIME I WANT TO.

It is bizarrely addictive. Well, maybe not so bizarre, rather than "oh, god, I don't fancy a british politician, no I don't no I don't- crap."

Hi!!! *waves back*

'Did you know that SPN canon is about to get bigger? Japanese-anime bigger, that is. I'm very curious to see how this will pan out.'
Me too. I can't wait to see what they do since they won't have to be constrained by a special effects budget.

they won't have to be constrained by a special effects budget. *headslap* Jeepers, hadn't even thought of that but ohmygod you're so right!!! Too bad they're setting it early season one (well, they can't just start in season six and expect people to know the whole story already I guess) 'cause this is the only way I think we could get Castiel's wings and have it be... not ridiculous.

That's the first thing I thought when I heard about the anime.

'Too bad they're setting it early season one (well, they can't just start in season six and expect people to know the whole story already I guess) 'cause this is the only way I think we could get Castiel's wings and have it be... not ridiculous.'
I'm hoping that the anime is so popular that they do all the seasons just so we get Cas' wings in anime form. If I know one thing about anime it's that the illustrators love big kick ass wings (and long flowing trench coats). Although I'm not sure how they'd make Raph's lightning wings any cooler than they already are; master of the air, indeed.

:D I imagine you do.

However, keep in mind that this ain't no Phd... and here's the kick in the teeth: as of next year, they are changing the degree to become a "teaching" degree... with what I'm getting now if I wanted to teach in high school, for example, I'd have to do an extra two years at the teaching school... which has been closed for the past year in preparation for the new system coming along... possibilities of integrating new degree to get teaching abilitation? Not likely :(

Hey--I was wondering where you were--and then I remembered you'd said you had to finish your thesis. And now you have--Congratulations!!!

That lolitics com is a hoot!

Thanks!

Careful with lolitics... you start by giggling with disbelief, and suddenly you find yourself learning to set up an IP proxy to get access to BBC Parliament channel :O
