every time i see a presentation where the presenter is just reading text off the slides i die inside

when a student starts to do this, and i'm feeling kind of ornery, i tell them "next slide please -- i've finished reading that"

cut every goddamn word you can from your slides, and then if you still have more than one printed sentence per five minutes just kill yourself

if you don't provide the audience a 4:3 pdf of your presentation i will show up at your home and do a sleeper hold and then unleash a series of devestating flying kicks and elbow drops from the top buckle on your unconscious body

yes, i got that eventually

the answer seems to be that almost everyone has at some point, but maybe 30% on the reg? i don't smoke much myself because it makes me hurl but i do other things to make up for it

Repping Nat Dormer for a surprising but not terrible Moriarty; if you haven't watched Jonny Lee Miller be abrasive and short with people and Lucy Liu roll her eyes at him constantly then you're missing out.

huh, I don't think I saw the last Thor, something to look up I guess.

I did watch Ed Norton's Hulk last night... So glad Rufallo stepped in and made a Banner I actually like. It was not a fantastic movie by any stretch, but I did like that Hulk wasn't a total indestructible weapon with no vulnerability in it, when he gets knocked around by Abomination and is actually 'Oo gently caress my head' it made the end fight much more enjoyable than him just tanking everything without effort.

<dit> also where Tim Roth fronts up to the Hulk and gets hoofed into a tree for his troubles made me lol

Thor 2 wasn't anything special, but the weird Star Wars-esque aerial assault on Asgard by Dark Elven B-Wings was cool. and anything that puts more Kat Dennings into my eyeballs is appreciated.
