Dr Horrible human contact
Why are Sundays so dead on the internet. And also real life. D:<

After reading the Master Plan, I rewatched Dr Horrible, just so it would stick better in my mind after they take it down tonight (seriously that's the plan) and last until the release of the DVD (which I will buy, just like every other poor sucker in the universe, especially since I refuse to buy it off of iTunes).

To be fair, that only took 45 minutes, and I've actually done some work today. Unfortunately, after shifting focus slightly the other day, the work I'm doing is much, much less tangible than it would have been otherwise, so it makes me feel like a joke to say "I've done work!" when I don't have word one to prove it. What I have is 24 pages of Middle English Dictionary entires printed (well, two entries take that much) in addition to the 26 pages of OED (after casting aside the ones that had no useful information, you see), and lots of pen marks on all of them. Well, on the OED ones. I've only just printed the MED ones because I've only just found them. And I tried using the Dictionary of Old English Corpus's "Word Wheel Search" because I have no idea what it's supposed to do, and it narrowed the results for "gast" (over 7000 hits in the regular Boolean search) to 1600ish, which was pretty neat. So hopefully I'll figure out how to navigate the DOEC the way I need to (unfortunately I am currently dealing with specific authorship and lexical decisionmaking, which is SERIOUSLY DIFFICULT with Old English when 99% of authors are "Some Guy, Probably A Monk" (or, as I prefer, Brother Dudefella, Friar Manguy, etc).

Basically it's just frustrating that I really am doing work, but my wordcount isn't showing it. Just, you know, hovering at like 2300 total words or something like that.

ANYWAY. I should get back to work. Also some random guy just IM'd me on Skype and wants to chat...and there it is: "u single, wot look like?" Third message. Oh, internets, will you never change? ::sigh::

EDIT: You know you're really doing science when it involves tally-marks.

LOL I match your new icon with mine. :D

I also have a mighty 273 words for this particular section now. :3 ...With no idea how to back most of this nonsense up. XD But if it comes out of my head without me even having to read it, I must be smart, right? Um. I bet the Timecube guy thinks that too. >.>

Also we can be Timecubey together...I have no idea what I'm doing, either. I'm just making it up as I go. Like the fried egg. Only, you know, less straightforward...O_o;

At the end of Dr Horrible, this was me:

I know! Me, too. ;_; He does that a little too well, if you ask me (the soul-killing, I mean).
