Over the last two days, I've had my first lectures for my other subjects this semester. Tuesday saw Developmental Psych, in which I discovered that later this semester I shall have to obtain a small child to perform an experiment on.

And today was Media, Politics and Society, in which very little subject matter was actually covered, but it certainly sounded interesting. We did have an amusing moment, though, when the audience was asked to give things that the media was used to supply, someone shouted out "Truthiness!"

Another Neuro lecture, too, which had it's own amusements.

The Lecturer (when discussing ethics in animal research at Melb Uni): "We swapped from animals, and now only use First years."

(On the subject of Neuro, I'm trying to decide if I should my obtained copy of Recovery before or after our next lecture, in which we discuss brain damage and it's effects on behaviour)

Attended Star Trek Club's first thing for the year, and thus got to witness most of the first Trek movie. And Spock and Kirk's amazing gay love.

Oh, and got meself subscriptions to the Age and the Herald Sun. Because without actual newspapers, I have a distinct tendency to lose track of current news, and thus over holidays my knowledge of current events tends to extend only to what's shown up on LJ ie. Fandomness and dead celebrities.

Onto fandomliness, it appears that we have an official start date for S3 of Doctor Who - 31st March. And lo, the fandom did squee.

There's also some good stuff in the new DWM, which I hope actually arrives for me (grumbles about things getting lost in the mail) New pictures, preview of the first ep, episode titles - one of which I took a wild leap of mental association, and thus am somewhat squeeful about - more later, perhaps.

Over at the OG, people have been posting bits of stuff from it, including some Martha dialogue I quite like. Once there's a bit more, I'll go post it over to [livejournal.com profile] lifeonmartha. And thus my diabolical scheme to get more people to join that comm via posting S3 news there exclusively continues...

Evidently you have the same Neuro lecturer that I did.

Yep. There are a few other quotes of his in the Quote Book -- right near the bottom, where it says 'Behavioural Neuroscience 2', oddly enough.

I don't think his leactures have changed at all - we've defintely had the first three comments so far.

They're probably in his personal footnotes to the slides. Still, he's at least got a sense of humour, which is more than I can say for some of the Psych lecturers.

Has Season three started over in the UK yet? Am so looking forward to Martha. :D

Also, have you watched any of Sarah Jane Adventures?

*points to post* Starts on the 31st.

I saw the New Years pilot thing of Sarah Jane. It was quite good, in a kids TV way.

Oh, and this might interest you somewhat: Apparently Channel Ten has bought Torchwood.

later this semester I shall have to obtain a small child to perform an experiment on.

This makes me think you're some sort of mad scientist complete with wild hair and stained lab coat. Cool.

I can libe with that picture. (So long as there are nice clothes under the lab-coat...)
