Turned in my paper! 12-15 page limit, and mine was a few inches onto the 15th. I look forward to rereading it after I’ve actually had a good night’s sleep, and I prepare myself for horror. I’m generally quite pleased with it, but seeing as how I had a minor revelation five minutes after turning it in, I’m crossing my fingers that the TAs don’t notice that small hole in one of my arguments.

In other awesome news, I finally got the color working on my printer! The yellow hasn’t worked all semester, no matter how I may curse at it. But last night, when I was printing a draft, I noticed that my black cartridge was low, so I printed “Color” black rather than “black” black. To my glee, halfway through the first page, the yellow started printing. I’m not sure I’d be this excited if I’d gotten more than three hours of sleep last night and more than four the night before, but oh well.

Now, I begin studying for my Physics midterm! It’s in 4 1/2 hours! Tra-LA! Can Hiro stop being fictional for a sec and stop time long enough for me to take a nap?

Y’know, now would be the perfect time for me to start drinking coffee. Shame I never will.

First person to make a Sylar fanvid to Jonathan Coulton’s “Re: Your Brains” gets a cookie. This will probably require more actual footage of Sylar and therefore take some time for new episodes to come out, but again, “first person.” I’m not saying it has to get done now. Additionally, whoever makes a Kara/Leoben fanvid to “Skullcrusher Mountain” gets pie. (Who came up with the Skullcrusher Mountain vid idea? Someone smart and on my flist. If you are she, let me know so that I may lay flowers at your feet.)

So! Veronica Mars, v. good! I’m very much in favor of this “not all mysteries get resolved in the last two episodes” thing. It feels more organic and right. Also Mac + Wallace + Piz + Weevil, all in one episode? Christmas comes early! And I never thought I’d say this, but GOOD FOR YOU, LOGAN! His actions tonight were 100% Priscilla-approved. Pinch me.

Anyway, I’m saving House and last night’s Studio 60 for after I finish my paper and Physics midterm on Thursday, so don’t spoil me. Back to my paper!

Is there a less clunky way of describing Firefly in terms of Serenity than “the TV series Serenity is a movie of”? Oh, je suck.

Dear Body,

Come on. I’m already ruing having to return to class. You think the solution is to make my wrists break out in hives? You suck.

No love,
The Rest of Me

Happy Birthday to You,
You’re now twenty-two!
You’re happy and healthy
And attractive, woo-hoo!

Now go eat some turkey/tofurkey/miscellaneous vegetables in absence of meat or meat substitute!

Edit: Unless you’re not American. Then have a happy November 23rd!

Just watched Friday’s Battlestar Galactica. I am so amused at the preview for next week’s episode, so let’s just get this out of the way:

“The first rule of Battlestar Galactica is – you do not talk about Battlestar Galactica. The second rule of Battlestar Galactica is – you DO NOT talk about Battlestar Galactica!”

Hey, it explains where all of Apollo’s belly fat went! Were else would the humans be getting soap?

Lee: I want you to do me a favor, Starbuck. I want you to hit me as hard as you can.

Number Six: Did you know if you mixed equal parts of gasoline and frozen orange juice concentrate you can make napalm?

Kara: I am Jack’s smirking revenge.

Tigh: Only after disaster can we be resurrected.

and maybe even:

Adama: Ok, any historic figure.
Roslin: I’d fight Gandhi.
Adama: Good answer.
Roslin: How about you?
Adama: Lincoln.
Roslin: Lincoln?
Adama: Big guy, big reach. Skinny guys fight ’til they’re burger.

Veronica Mars has been picked up for a total of 20 episodes. The prospect of a fourth season is still up in the air.

Stranger than Fiction, Starring Harry Potter. Ganked from Peg. HILARIOUS!

Deliciously high-res OotP trailer screencaps. And seeing those exploding proclamations… After the movie comes out, the first person to make a Fred and George/V for Vendetta fanvid will win the internet. Or “Another Brick in the Wall.” I’m not choosy.

And finally, a cam version of the OotP teaser!

For those that didn’t feel like sitting through the full 30-minute John Hodgman and Jonathan Coulton, I’ve uploaded Benjamin Franklin’s Six Oaths of the Virtuous Child

A brilliant student film: Unicorn vs. Narwhal
