Resolved: If I make headway on grading, I will allow myself to write the [guest character]/girl!Dean snippet that came to me immediately after I watched 7x20.
Not actually spoilery for Game of Thrones: Anna Holmes: "I marvel at the semi-medieval society’s standards for personal grooming, which seem to anticipate the Brazilian waxes of the late 20th and early 21st centuries: I call the pubic hair pattern so often seen on Westerosi women 'the King’s Landing Strip.'”
V.v. sad to discover that, on closer listen, lyrics of Call Me Maybe are not “all the other boys try to change me.” I thought it was a song about finding a good boy, not finding a distant boy!
Nice description heard at ROFLcon: you became an engineer because you like working with your hands and dislike working with your arms. (Zach Weiner’s choose your own adventure, also the theme of the con program.)
My worlds collide (copyright law v. vampires). Best fannish answer I ever got was on a question featuring Jack O’Neill, Sam Carter, Daniel Jackson & Teal’c. Since the question involved O’Neill’s property, one student put in a side comment about the fish pond.
Unpack the gendered notions of work and value suggested by this quote about music hitmakers, which comes after noting that producers are almost always men and top-liners are usually women: “The producer runs the session and serves as creative director of the song, but the top-liner supplies the crucial spark that will determine whether the song is a smash.”
