That day was too long.

I have been tired, sulky, sleepy, and really quite stupids all day.
And today was mostly working in groups, so that didn't work real well.

I did, in National Cinema, notice that the Cabinet of Dr Caligari on YouTube that Teach linked everyone to is about 20 minutes shorter than the other one on YouTube wiki links to, and the DVD, and the how long is this film listings all the places I checked. Teach will now be deleting that link. And almost everyone has 20 minutes more work to do. So there was quite a lot of oops there.
Online resources: Check them before you assign them.

I'm totally whiny now. It's annoying.
Also I was talky without being smart. I do not like that.

I did have fun looking for academic essays on Doctor Who. I think I found three. Also a bunch of other things I saved because shiny but not actually related. Possibly I need more essays. And some stuff that doesn't mention Doctor Who. Research is hard.

Short Story is also hard, because the blog doesn't work, there is no blog, we cannot click on the blog to post things, that is why no one has posted to the blog, and yet the teacher is all 'why you no post on blog?' and asking me specific and it's not just me, there's no link where those words are, it just says it's a blog, like if I type blog in here. That doesn't actually work.
Also we did a bunch of reading and studying a story and I don't think we're making much progress and I'm bored.
I'm not supposed to say that out loud though.

I did remember to eat lunch so today was okay.

And I stayed conscious all the hours I was meant to.

And the continuing urge to have a tantrum about that can just shush and have some ice cream.
I already ate a quorn spag bol lunch pot. Those are quite nice.

I listened to an 8th Doctor adventure with Mary Shelley. I was not impressed. For one, it keeps being about inspirations for her book, and she was quite capable of thinking up her book without living it a bunch of times. Plus the Doctor keeps telling her she'll write great books. That's daft. And I didn't think the emotional logic always worked. Like, one minute she's all 'poor thing, its not really a monster' and the next it's like 'it will survive and it's all my fault!' At which second did she decide that was a bad thing? I may have missed it due to being on the bus. But the story felt like it lurched along all wonky.
Also the Doctor is in a very bad mood, and I keep trying to figure out his timeline to know precisely when this goes but I suspect it just goes right after the last 8th Doctor adventure so he has a pretty good reason to be in a bad mood. But still, he kept surprising me.
I will however keep listening to more of them. Because I do that.

Not worth watching again to check but the time difference might be because of speed difference rather than being cut. Silent films were projected more slowly than talkies and for years poor-quality modern versions of them were created using talkie equipment and were too fast as a result.

I did say that in lessons... well know, I gestured that, it's entirely possible that making the round and round handle motion did not translate... but since nobody had checked *shrugs*
