Kids, peer pressure is awful. Never give in to peer pressure. Today I gave in to peer pressure and, instead of going straight home after classes, I was dragged to a talk about mean field games. All because I couldn't say no and was bribed with pizza.
...Okay, well, it was interesting because it's the first time I heard a maths seminar in English and I'm happy to say I understood just as much as I would have if it was in Italian. Which means I understood nothing at all, because lol I don't know about PDEs and who is Nash and what's this equilibrium everyone talks about. :D I kind of gave up after the first half and stopped taking notes altogether, and why do mathematicians from all around the world insist on using handwritten slides and a projector from before the war, idgi.

Oh well. EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH ONCE UPON A TIME because I say so and because it's about fairytales and because the sheriff is hot and the protagonist kicks ass. It's kind of cheesy, especially the parts set in the land of the stories, but I got my sister to watch it so we make fun of the conspicuous CGI together. And I am convinced that the Evil Queen and Snow White had a torrid love story, let's see what the next episode has to say about that. Also, hot sheriff. Kick ass protagonist. She had a chainsaw in the last episode and I cheered.

Also, Castle keeps having meh plots this season but who cares, everyone is so cute and I love them sfm. Please get together before you die of old age.

Oh, I gave a seminar presentation on Nash equilibrium stuff a few years ago.

I think Once Upon A Time sounds interesting, but I can't watch Jennifer Morrison for that long at a time. Her character on House bothered me enough for a lifetime. xD

CASTLE ♥ EVERYTHING IS MARTHA AND NOTHING HURTS. Except ofc hello can the writers maybe please get the stick out of their behinds and FINALLY GET A MOVE ON. There's only so much UST before it turns into a bad sitcom.

I've been trying to get a hold of Once Upon A Time but IDK WHY BUT ALL MY SOURCES SUCK. Maybe because they blacklist the search words. Hmf.

Hmmm, other people have been saying Once Upon A Time is good, so I may give it a go when I have some free time. The fact that you said the sheriff is hot has nothing to do with it at all.

I haven't been keeping up with Castle in a while, but if there's any particularly good episodes for this season, I might check them out too.

I've been watching Once Upon a Time, and I generally like the idea of it (and Jennifer Morrison's acting is better than I predicted, though I kind of hate whoever's in charge of the costuming/set department for the fairytale flashbacks - they just don't feel imaginative enough for me, and they don't seem to complement the real-world scenes very well which kind of throws me out of the show every time they switch back and forth).

Honestly, though, I've got to stop watching it with my family - they keep talking through parts and asking questions when I'm trying to listen lol. It seriously took me until the second episode to even realise that the teacher was Snow White because I was so distracted.

On that note - do we know who the very hot sherrif is in the fairytale? Or has that not been mentioned yet?
