Good day

Vampire Diaries and Fringe: made up for every ounce of angst about SPN. I'm feeling fannish enough about them, in fact, that if you wanted to prompt me I'd see what I could do, with my usual tortoise-like speed. 

Possibly the nicest thing anyone's ever said about my teaching: a student said that the exam was the most creative one she'd ever taken and that she learned something about the course from taking it. I'm... really pleased by that.

Agree on the SPN-fueled angst. Unfortunately, I have resisted the pull of Vampire Diaries so I have no antidote (though all the good things I hear about pretty brothers and kickass female relationships make it tempting).

What a nice compliment on your exam! Can I ask what your exam was (if it's a trade secret, I understand ;)

Come to the dark side! We have cookies! And yes and yes--the show has (1) serious female Bechdel-test-passing female relationships at it core, (2) a plot that moves rapidly but without abruptness--no monsters of the week while the larger arc cools its heels, and (3) plenty o' eye candy. Especially if you have a thing for arms, as I do, you will not be disappointed.

ETA: it was property. Actually, one of the questions featured Damon, Stefan, and Elena!
