omg I hate working on my resume. am I seriously supposed to remember quantifiable improvements that were part of a job 5 years ago?!
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I need to note that just about anybody looks high energy next to Jesse
Bet I don't.
Raises hand.
Languidly, and really not very high.

Well, the only time I met you was right after you finished your all-day krav testing. I can't take an ita bounciness baseline off that.
Jesse's fairly unflappable though. Okay, that time I ran up to her unannonced on the street in Manhattan? She flapped a little. But that's just because I'd broken just about every covenant of proper behavior in NYC.

If I only had a brain...
ita, it varies depending on house style. Usually immediately after the TOC.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think they have a math consultant on hand for Numb3rs, Erin. There are some things I don't buy, but they're mostly innate mastery of computer programs that work in a domain other than math of physics. I don't know from higher math anyway.
Having watched all 4 eps, I agree with DX and disagree with Beverly -- the body language in #2 was part of the episode itself, and not indicative of consistent hugely awkward socialisation on the geek's part.

No, you lie.

She flapped a little.
And by this I mean she raised one eyebrow.

Ta! I might just get this finished after all.
I admit, I do startle. In a big boom-and-cursing way. But it's very erratic -- it tends to not be a reflex of the spine, but a process in the brain. If a stranger pops up out of nowhere without presenting a physical threat, my heart rate is untouched, and there's a good chance I'll not even notice. If it's someone in context, also good. But if people are crossing their appropriately designated lines, I'm wont to flap.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I wonder about the math in Numbers, though. I take it on faith, cause, so not mathy, but I found myself wondering what would all the math-oriented B'tas think? Is this all accurate, or TV bullshit?
Somewhere I saw a claim that the formulas were real. I had to laugh at the pendulum experiment in the last ep, though. That so would not work. I suspect there is a combination of actual math/science and lots of hand-waving.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I'm watching NumbThreeRs and liking it, Erin. But I am not sufficiently mathy to critique. Or rather, I'm lazy. I could look at the equations, but I keep thinking, isn't this why I have Buffistas? To look at tv equations for me, so I can be righteously indignant without actually having to check?
But until someone tells me they're heinous tv numbers, I'm liking it. I meant to watch Medium, too, but I never did.

Like the building structural swaying computer-thing? That was one of the things I wondered about -- it made me think, "Huh, is he a Mary Sue?"
But it was still fairly entertaining.
