A Mixed Bag

***

I have marked 15 essays today. I want to cry. The two are causally correlated.

In other news, I have finally bought a new laptop. And by that I mean, the same laptop I have now except the newer version. It should be here soon. Yes, it was emotionally painful ( Read more... )

15! That sounds like a very good reason to cry.

3 of those went straight to the plagiarism panel.

*Wow*. That's a lot! And sounds like so much hard work to deal with.

Wishing you all the American sitcoms you like.

The number keeps gorwing as well, it's 5 altogether now of studens who, as a colleague put it, 'have some questions to answer'. Depressing.

that video was right on but there's no way I would ever add myself to it. I notice they picked all attractive women.
Left out House, Boardwalk Empire and every other TV show I like!

Yeah I agree with you on the women in the vid being quite traditionally pretty and youngish most of them.

And Stargate and Grimm and any RPS and... Yeah, none of these things are perfect. It would have to be a much larger graph to fit everything in :D

I like original Star Trek and I love Next Gen but I don't like the other Trek shows and I only liked the first reboot movie. I used to love Downton Abbey but I ragequit that show after a certain car accident and I got tired of Sherlock really quickly (still love the ACD books and the Jeremy Brett Holmes show).

TOS was before my time so while I've seen most of it after the fact, I never really got into it. Grew up with TNG though which counts as one of my first fandoms before I even knew what fandom was :) I'm a fan of the other Treks too, particularly DS9 as I loved the politics of it all. Never got into Downton Abbey and have yet to catch up with s3 of Sherlock. However, I do have a Sherlock ficlet to post... *wanders off to do that*
