Lex Luthor's school of career guidance
Wednesday, 19 November 2008 01:48 pmGood grief. I've just had my first recorded instance of a student contacting me for curriculum advice via Facebook. That's just ... wrong. Now he will forever associate his course choice woes with pictures of me drunk at parties in weird costumes. If, in fact, there were any of those sort of photos of me up on Facebook, which in fact there aren't1, but there could have been, and then where would I be? Honestly. Boundaries, people!
As my subject line may have already hinted, I watched the second Superman film last night. This was, curiously, even cheesier than the first one, an effect possibly attributable to the sudden, fell application of the 80s. Upsides: good villains (Terence Stamp, suitably Goth outfits, the delirious pleasure of the name "General Zod"), Miss Teschmacher in a balloon, Clark Kent saying "Well, darn!" goofily. Downsides: the awkward, painful, cheesy, stilted romance bits (prizes for Most Overcued Seduction Scene In The History Of Film). Also, the strong desire to slap Lois Lane.
In the Department Of OMG That's Inhuman: they won't let Obama read email when he's president. That's everything you need to know about the innate wrongness of the American political system, right there.

1 Because I'm far too ladylike to get drunk at parties in weird costumes. Either that, or far too camera-shy to be caught doing it. PLEASE NOTE: this is not a signal for any of you rotters to dig out, scan and post any photos you happen to have of me drunk at parties in weird costumes.
