Silurians

Why did the Silurian look so disappointingly like a human with prosthetic skin all over her head?

That mask looked menacing, but it was reptilian. That should have been its face, not a mere mask.

Listening To Podcasts

You know when Data is looking at his screen, and he's going "Faster! Faster!" and the computer's blurring past? I'm listening to the White Wolf podcast, and it's as fast as it can go.

And it's not fast enough.

I've taken to listening to podcasts at unbelievably fast speeds. Like the tapes of the Scalosians in the Classic Trek episode "Wink Of An Eye."

Heh. Speed reading podcasts. :)

"If I Had Another Chance ..."

The other day, I visited the Graduate Careers Centre. I must admit the visits would be sweeter if I were employed, because it would be a matter of picking my new career rather than attempting to embark upon one.

On this occasion, I noticed some forms which had been laid out for people to fill in, titled "If I Had Another Chance ..." This form contained a series of questions for people to fill out.

The explanatory blurb reads as follows:-

"We are compiling a leaflet for Glyndwr students and graduates which gives advice from other final year students and graduates about a variety of careers-related topics and we would really like your views. These will remain anonymous but will hopefully inspire others to plan their careers, take up work experience and use the Careers Centre and Jobshop throughout their time at university."

Here's my reply:-

All of the above was sent off to Glyndwr Uni.

Mum wants me to write something similar for schoolkids on their hast few weeks in St Joseph's school. What do you think?
