So I could talk about Joan backstory and the delightful relationship building between Joan and Sherlock, but really, I am just nerding out over an entire episode about P vs. NP and how they didn't totally fuck it up. Well, they slightly fucked it up, but that's to be expected because this material is pretty damn difficult. I ended up TAing an intro ( Read more... )

Korra - I'm kind of sick of the 'older mentor figure ends up being horribly misguided' trope in that it is way too much of a pattern right now, but oh well. I am still very much enjoying this season, and I hope to keep enjoying it. It's not perfect. There are still some glaring flaws. But it is still interesting and thoughtful and gorgeous ( Read more... )

I've been meaning to write this post since last week, but I've ended up getting distracted by parents and, um, other stuff ( Read more... )

Today was my birthday, and it was super chill and happy. The weather was great, and the company was great, and the food was great ( Read more... )

Bleh. I've been having trouble writing lately, mostly out of, I dunno, a lack of commitment and interest. I miss writing! It gave me such pleasing endorphin hits ( Read more... )

I decided to watch the first episode of The Borgias for the lolz. Um, it probably says something about me that I keep going, "Hey, this looks exactly like Assassin's Creed 2/Brotherhood!" Also, "Hey, it's that guy!" Besides Jeremy Irons, there are tons of British character actors floating around ( Read more... )

So! This show's politics are kind of disgusting, but for some reason, I have been seduced anyway, and it can probably be summed up as: TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAM ( Read more... )

So, I have not actually obtained any free time whatsoever, but I still stake out time for commenting on West Wing, maybe, sometimes ( Read more... )
