Victory!

An email exchange:

ME: Kia ora [Person I was hoping would be my Honours supervisor], I was hoping to enrol in the summer/first semester research essay paper, although I know it's very late [because summer school started today]! The topic I'd
like to engage on is looking at the motherly girl in young adult
fiction, particularly the classic English adventure stories (for
example, the respective Susans from Narnia and Ransome's "Swallows and
Amazons" series), and how these roles can be interrogated in more
modern stories that nevertheless retain a similar "feel" - I'm
thinking particularly of some of the young women in Diana Wynne Jones'
more recent novels (Arianrhod Hyde and Charmain Baker, if you happen
to be familiar with those books.) To get more to the point, I was
hoping that you would be willing to supervise me.

SAID PERSON: That sounds really interesting! I'd be keen to supervise a
dissertation/honours essay on this subject.


\o/ WHEW/YAY.

Also. There is someone in whatwasthatone who has posted a couple of times, recently, with pictures of minor SG-1 guest stars and a request to identify them. This usually wouldn't bother me, because sometimes SG-1 has about 12 thousand guest stars who aren't on IMDB - but EVERY SINGLE ONE has been identifiable on IMDB, and EASILY. [For example: a picture of Krista [Erica Durance] from that Teal'c episode. If you can watch that episode and not figure out the character's name you're a moron, but even if you're really dumb there are only one or two women guest stars and you can always just look at each of them.] I recommended her IMDB last time and she complained that it was "not user-friendly" and "useless except for main characters". Well, no, it's not as user friendly as a comm you can spam to get people to do your bidding, but FFS! I don't know why this annoys me so. LEARN TO USE A WEBSITE. Sheesh.
