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.

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?

Yeah, the costumes are, idk... not a fan. In the first episode I was too busy following the plot, but in the second episode we already knew that the curse was coming, so yawn.

It's haaard to tell who's who because everyone's looks are so different! The sheriff hasn't been mentioned yet, I'm sure of it because I looked him up after the first episode in case I had missed it and it said that he's a ~mysterious character and we'll find out later. Personally I think he's the wolf from Little Red Riding Hood (because Red and her Granny are around already, and because we saw a wolf when Emma crashed into the signpost) while my sister thinks he's the woodcutter from LRRH, which maybe makes more sense if he's one of the good guys.

I wondered if he was the wolf as well - he seems like the guy I would cast in that role. Maybe that's why they're holding back on who it is? It's supposed to be a twist that he's in a "good" role? I could see him as the woodcutter as well, though. Glad I didn't miss anything, then. :)

That was something I liked about the second episode, they did start laying out some questions to be answered (like the last scene with Rumplestiltskin and the queen - I really liked that we didn't know if he'd set it all up or not. It's nice when characters fall into gray areas).
