Text of an email from one of my awesome roommates, sent yesterday afternoon:
Subj: I'm eating in the law school
and right next to me are a couple of profs who are talking in COMPLETE MYSTIFICATION about one guy's daughter. I quote:
"She gave me this big compliment, she called me 'Dad-tor'. No, it's-- I guess it's the NEW Doctor Who? She's a complete devotee."
"I've never heard of it, but apparently there's this thing called... Tumblr? And she has all these friends? I've looked at it once or twice, and now I understand why my daughter never goes to bed on time."
"She follows this show called Supernatural. There's all this stuff on it that makes NO SENSE to me."
"Prof A: She uses this thing called Soundstage to make things with her friend.
Prof B: So she's never actually met this friend?
Prof A: Yeah, it's pretty wild."
"This new BBC show called 'Sherlock'. It's some kind of parody of Sherlock Holmes, I guess?"
I'm trying really hard not to laugh at them because that would be rude.
