The very best thing about watching old-school Xena? Hearing the off-screen shouts of, "Get him, Xena!" Cracks me up every freaking time.

I've got my first lectures tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to them. The 9am one is African lit. and cult. (Rider Haggard's She is a wonderful narrative that was surprisingly easy to read for what it was. I'm glad we started on that one and not Heart of Darkness); the afternoon lecture is Modernism. It's an intro thereof so no set texts this week. Because of Diwali, I think I may be missing the first seminar I have on a set text in Mod. Hmm.

I am really a little tired of fandom right now, mostly because I've been on a bit of a binge. Suffice to say that my response to most things was either yay or meh. Nothing filling me with Rage or Haaaate, so I guess we can count that as a good thing. Unfortunately the overwhelming response was meh. This does not include Numb3rs which I loved desperately. I also finally saw the last episode of Carnivale. How much do I hate that the series got cut on that cliffhanger? Gah.

To conclude: the Norbit trailer is live now. Love Thandie.
