Love's Labours Won

Doctor Who does some very good episodes. I kind of hate that it's a British series and airs over there first, but it's owned by the BBC, so they get to air it first. Take a lesson from that, SciFi, and stop airing my other series in Canada first. The episode tonight involved going back to meet William Shakespeare and his play Love's Labours Lost, and it's lost sequel Love's Labours Won. The play really did exist and really has been lost. Lots of sprinklings of famous quotes ("to be, or not to be" among others). British humour, too, which you either get or you don't. It's not roll-on-the-floor funny, but it has its moments.

I got roped into doing quite a bit of work up at the school today. I was hoping to pop in and pop out, but I did get quite a bit done. I've got a little to do over the weekend, but it's mostly collecting what I've already done and putting all together in a form where others can do something with it.

I did finally hear back from the thesis consultant at UTK. I didn't send in my draft yet, but I know that she's going to be mean to it. I wrote it without directly consulting the guidelines then looked at the format requirements and saw dozens of things I did wrong. I know I mentioned it last night, but it's really stupid, and it's going to bother me until I get the thing through final approval. I haven't decided if I'm going to make changes to fit within the requirements better before I send it in, or let them tell me what all I've done wrong. I will say that the Technical Writing class was useless when it comes to this stuff. I really hated that class.

And for the record, I don't care about soccer or David Beckham. Quit covering it like it's news or like people care. More tomorrow.
