DUDE. The aforementioned “quick modelling job” for the professor I ran into at the Chinese New Year party? I’m getting paid $100 for something I banged out in less than 30 minutes. Being a DMDer ROCKS. I’m going to have to figure out excuses to hang out in HMS more often!

This calls for Firefly crackfic with Jayne and unicorns.

*snorts loudly* An actual question from the latest Zogby poll:

Which would you rather watch: the State of the Union speech live, an episode of ABC’s “Commander in Chief,” an episode of NBC’s “The West Wing,” or the episode of Fox’s “The Simpsons” where Bart runs for class president?

  • The State of the Union speech live
  • An episode of “Commander In Chief”
  • An episode of “The West Wing”
  • Episode of “The Simpsons” where Bart runs for class president
  • None of the above
  • Not sure

Who was one of few recommended to Disney by her faculty advisor for a Summer Internship?

1. She’s sitting in my chair.
2. She’s wearing my clothes.
3. Her name is Remus Lupin Priscilla Spencer.

I randomly stopped by Amy’s after class to float my idea of a day trip to NYC next Saturday to see the Pixar exhibit at the MoMA. Next door, in the HMS lab, a Chinese New Year party was in full swing. Over some delicious Chinese food, I got to chat with Amy, Norm, and some DMD/CGGT students about resumes, ways of controlling the HMS Lab’s mouse problem (suggestion: a Burmese python, a gecko, or some form of raptor), and the Disney/Pixar merger. I was also randomly comissioned by a professor to do a quick model and render of a carbon nanotube.

I’m now working on my resume, so that I’ll be up for consideration for an interview with Disney. Bweeeee!

Is Andromeda (Black) Tonks’ hair color canon? For some reason, I was thinking it was red, but with blonde and black hair already represented by her sisters, having a redhead in the mix would make me wonder about the haircolor of the Black family mailman. Unless, of course, Narcissa and Draco get their blonde genes from Miss Clariol.

Woohoo! Good news for UK-based Dresden fans. The TV movie/backdoor pilot will be aired in Jolly Old! From TV & Satellite Week:

Sky One is working with Nicholas Cage’s production company to make a new drama about a private eye with magical powers. British actor Paul Blackthorne, who has appeared in 24 and ER, will play the lead role of the sleuthing Chicago-based wizard in The Dresden Files, based on the novels by Jim Butcher.

And speaking of TV, I got my DVD Recorder today! *does a merry dance*
