I had an interesting post-Kill Bill* discussion on Friday with some fellow doctoral students about who qualifies as a nerd. One of the students suggested that anyone doing a Ph.D. qualifies as a nerd by virtue of that activity. The rest of us laughed and launched into a discussion of anime, SF, and Myers-Briggs results. I think that by the end of the conversation, she was ready to concede that not all Ph.D. students are created equally nerdish. (And we didn't even have to bring up RPGs and LARPs!)
On an unrelated note, MacGuy's back from L.A., and he brought me Ghiradelli chocolate! Isn't he sweet? Okay, yes, it was only because he couldn't think of anything else to buy for me, but it was still a nice gesture. :) I think he's back for a whole two weeks this time.
*Evaluation of the movie: stylistically beautiful and far too gory for my taste. Yes, the violence was clearly over the top and not meant to be taken seriously. No, that didn't make it any easier for me to watch people's limbs get hacked off. Will I see volume two? I haven't decided yet, but I'm certainly not paying Friday-night prices for it.
