merrycaepa> So! The BBC Sherlock is amazing and you should all go watch it (all, uh, three episodes; I've made it through two and my God, they are glorious). My Sherlock playlist is now just under three hours long. I think I need more homework. Also, I'm trying to figure out what they would listen to, rather than songs that remind me of them, and now Holmes and Watson are bitching back and forth in my head about the merits of Radiohead (Watson just wants Holmes to give them a chance; Holmes is passive-aggressively advocating more Mendelsson). It's dreadfully amusing.

> Enlightenment & Its Critics prof is a windbag; fortunately, I'm sitting next to a guy I've had similar classes with before, and while we both deeply believe that the other is wrong, wrong, wrong about most things, we respect each other a fair bit and tend to have great arguments. We spent most of the lesson scribbling rude commentaries back and forth in the margins of our notes; the prof started off the class period by pretty well ripping a student a new one when she was having difficulty articulating her position on a reading, and it's a mark of how savage he was that most of the class doesn't like her, and we still took her side and thus spent the remainder of the period ganging up on him in retaliation.
> Dear Iran: this is why we don't take you seriously. After Carla Bruni came out in support of Ashtiani, the Iranian media is calling for her death. Which was a move clearly calculated to win them more respect in the global media...? France is, unsurprisingly, a bit offended.
> I...really don't know what to do about this article about pedophilia in Iraq. I want more cultural context; I want history; and above all I don't want it to be what it feels like, which is sensationalist.
> Gay, straight, or otherwise, Autostraddle's "12 Rules of Lesbian Fight Club" is well worth a read. Also: kittens!
