 New Harry Potter Trailer. Holy cow, why is it not July 13th yet?
Priscilla said at 4:28 PM Well I'll be! I just managed to restore my roommate's final paper from deletion and recycle bin emptying, thus cementing my position in the universe as Golden Goddess of Technology and Win. All Windows users should download Restoration. It's free, and it will save your sanity.
Meanwhile, oh look! That meme everyone is doing! (Modest and humble? Hahahaha!) Make sure you check out the behind the scenes footage on the website. *gurgles* And now, back to your regularly scheduled Ray Casting assignment.

WTF! Hot Fuzz isn't playing anywhere in University City or Center City Philadelphia. The nearest theatre playing it is 25 minutes away by public transportation, and I don't know if I can justify that with the amount of work I have to get done this week. Why isn't it playing across the street at The Bridge?
RRRGH, Hot Fuzz hasn't even been out a week! You FAIL, Philadelphia. You FAIL. Labels: hot fuzz, omg teh angst, philadelphia sucks Priscilla said at 8:46 AM

Aaaand I'm now writing my Psych paper on Buffy. I believe this nicely rounds out my Fandom in Academia series:
Freshman Year:

I got my sci-fi paper back today (B+, rather disappointing), only to find that after wrestling with myself, absolutely refusing to let myself use a pun in the title of my sci-fi paper, MY TA SUGGESTS THE SAME PUN in the margins.
I wrote about empathy for alien invaders in War of the Worlds, Ender's Game, and the Doctor Who episode "Dalek," eventually settling on "The Devil's Advocates." Sure, if I were a TA and my student had titled her paper "Empathy for the Devil" I would have given her extra points, but I couldn't be sure my TA wouldn't do the opposite, so I went the safe, punless route. I can't believe I could have gotten away with that! Labels: i succeed moderately at academia Priscilla said at 12:01 AM

My thoughts on a recent development:
Spider-Man + Musical = awesome Spider-Man + Muscial + Julie Taymor = OMG AWESOME. That is all. Labels: i heart fandom Priscilla said at 7:24 PM My senior project presentation absolutely rocked! My advisor wants to use it as an example to future students. I kind of win. :D
This video of the thigh model in action only represents half of the project, but still. Preeeeetty. Press Ctrl+L in Quicktime to loop it! I could watch it for hours. XD For those keeping score at home:

My Sci-Fi final paper is due in 15 hours, and I just changed my topic. Why do I hate myself?
Though I must say, it's a lot easier to write when you switch from Out of the Silent Planet, Red Planet, and Ender's Game to War of the Worlds, Ender's Game, and an episode of Doctor Who. It's my last paper as an undergrad. I'll write about whatever the heck I feel like for my third source, thank you very much! We just have to pick one book from the first half of the semester, one book from the second half, and the third can be absolutely anything. I've heard that other students are writing about Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, and Doctor Who, and one girl was considering writing about the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, so I feel justified. I'll have to get the full list of non-class material written about in these papers from my TA. *blasts "Doctorin' the TARDIS" in the privacy of my headphones* Edit: Done at 10 AM, with two hours to go! I even got 4 1/2 hours of sleep out of the deal! WIN! God bless the miracle of e-texts, which allow me to find the quotes I need with minimal fuss.

Dear Microsoft,
You know that project from last semester I've been slaving over? It sure would be nice if your Automatic Java Update didn't BREAK THE SOFTWARE I WAS USING TO WRITE IT. *downloads the JDK6 and prays that the newest version of DrJava, released back in January, works with it* NO LOVE EVER, Priscilla Edit: Nope, didn't work. I've emailed my tutor. Hissssssss. Labels: omg teh angst, open letters Priscilla said at 9:38 PM

Oh my god. I just got some absolutely wonderful news that I can't share with anyone. I don't know if I'll ever be able to share it. No, even if you email me privately and ask, I won't be able to share it, and no this is not me being coy. I really can't talk about it.
But suffice it to say, this news makes me the happiest person on the entire planet today, and will continue making me at least in the list of top 10 happiest people on the planet for months, nay years to come. The fact that my SplatterCon!!! t-shirt design is now official Jim-Butcher.com merchandise is a distant second in Good News In Priscilla-Land For Today. HOLY COW HOLY COW HOLY COW IT'S REAL!
