Mar. 17th, 2005 07:08 pmI am perversely proud of having lived in Ireland for all of my 22 years without ever celebrating St. Patrick's Day. But happy Wearing Green And Getting Plastered day, everybody. I'm just enjoying getting the day off uni.
Of course, I should use this day off to do my essay (due tomorrow), not obsess over House and poke at Angel/Lost fic for the Lyric Ficathon.
I'm convinced one of my professors is downloading House. We were looking at a spectrum of a star. Why, he asked, would two lines of Fe X have different intensities? When we stared blankly at him he made us list all the possible causes, wrote them on the whiteboard, and crossed them out as we eliminated them ("can't be temperature, they're in the same part of the star..."), finally drawing a triumphant circle around "atomic data". Differential diagnostic astrophysics. Pretty sensible, really.

Mar. 17th, 2005 11:19 pmI'm watching old episodes of Blackadder the Third and trying in vain to reconcile Prince George with Gregory House. It's brain-wrecking. (I don't know how much Blackadder, Jeeves and Wooster and A Bit of Fry and Laurie have been shown outside the UK, but I grew up on wall to wall repeats of them. Suddenly finding Hugh Laurie hot is very disconcerting.)
If I've friended you in the last couple of days, it's probably because I like reading your posts on House - no need to friend back.
This is the first time ever that less than half of my icons have been Buffyverse. It's very sad that this makes me guilty.
