vaznettiSo I had this idea that now that I am back to working part time, I would be able to get back online more. I would update here! Maybe I would do some memes! Maybe I would even write something! What I forgot was that the nature of part-time academic work is that you are in fact doing almost all the work in only half the time (because of childcare) for roughly a quarter of the pay. So what has actually happened is that since starting work, I haven't updated at all. I often don't check my personal email now for whole days. I owe people mail like you wouldn't believe.
Of course as I type this, (while Spartacus naps) I really should be writing a lecture instead.
Needless to say, I will not be doing![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
yuletide this year. Although that may be for the best, because I keep hearing rumors about how Yuletide has been taken over by the crazy this year. That seems so bizarre to me -- I mean, yes, of course it drives everybody crazy, but not usually in the anonymous flaming and trolling kind of way.
In other news, I will probably watch Spooks, although this week I had to dodge in and out of the room because I have a low tolerance for violence against children these days, and by low I mean pretty-much nonexistent, and thought that this episode was particularly heavy-handed and exploitative in that line. On the plus side, Ruth! although she spent quite a lot of time screaming -- did she used to do that?
Actually, I often feel that I shouldn't comment about Spooks online, because other people seem to think it's a good show (I wouldn't disagree), and I never know whether that means that they think it's a quality show (to which I say, in exactly the same way Alias was.) Although I must admit that Harry's secret stash of weapons-grade uranium (or was it plutonium) totally puts Jack Bristow's lockers of guns and cash to shame. He has his own secret supply of uranium, guys! And only he knows where it is! Hahahahahaha! That was priceless. He and Crazy Uncle Arvin should totally hook up.
At this point, I am kind of hoping I remember how to code for LJ, to avoid spoiling everyone in the world.
In other TV news, regarding Strictly, my hatred for Craig Kelly cannot be textually rendered. And although I have no idea who is voting for Anton and Laila, I'm glad that they are.
Anyway, Spartacus will be waking up any minute now, so I think I will go ahead and hit post!
