then the houses came and ate up everyone like they were fishes
Things which have happened today:
I got turned down from TeachFirst, which rather sucks, and justifies my guess that the interviews at the assesment centre didn't go that great. Ah well. I'm surprisingly not upset, actually - there are enough routes into teaching that I'm sure I'll be fine. And it's an incredibly high-pressured course, so maybe it's for the best.
This morning I accidently went to a lecture I shouldn't have gone to, because it was a genetics module I'm not taking. I have no idea why I wrote it down on my timetable. But when I realised I thought it would be rude if I just walked out, so I listened and made notes anyway. IDEK.
Oh, and I wrote a thing - well, actually I wrote and posted it in the break between that lecture and the ones I was actually supposed to go to! I woke up this morning and there was a prompt on whitecollarhc for "Peter and Neal are trapped in a dessert" and my brain started throwing bad puns at me. So, here is my attempt to cram as many of those terrible puns as possible into about 300 words. Again, IDEK. It's just been that sort of day. XD
Also, while I'm here: is there actually a consensus on how Diana's surname is spelled? Because I've seen about three different spellings being used, each by multiple authors. (This is not as bad as a brief period in the CSI:NY fandom where the actual show couldn't decide whether a recurring character was called Jennifer or Jessica for quite a long time, and her name kept changing between episodes. That was fun.)

... and it won't really be that much later for you, with the time zones and all! I don't have USA network, so I'll have to wait for the downloads ...
Incidentally, this is how much of a complete dork I am: I bought a bottle of French wine to drink with the premiere. (Not the whole bottle, I hope ...) But red wine is my drink of choice (well, aside from tea, which I practically drink by the gallon), and it just seemed very appropriate. So if my commentary following the episode is a little ... strange, you'll know why. ;p
It just feels so good to feel this way about a show again! I haven't been this into a show since my early days in SGA fandom. I've had other fandoms since then, like A:tLA, but nothing that was currently ongoing, so I haven't had anything to make me bounce and speculate and anticipate. SHOWWWWWW.
