Quantum Physics 123: Monday 28 November

[The Doctor has sourdough bread, jam, and cream cheese out this morning. He looks happy but tired.]

Morning. I hope you all had a brilliant holiday, as I did. [He does not look at Cally or Crichton, because he'll start laughing.] And since I'm merciful, we'll work our way back into the swing of things with something relatively easy. We're going to watch part of Somewhere in Time, which, I should warn you, is ridiculously sappy...and find the fallacies in it.

After that, you may ask me questions about your final projects. ONLY about your final projects. And no, I didn't bring the pictures--as I said, I need a good reason to do so. [He smirks.] Also, if you'd be interested in taking a class with me next semester, do let me know. This one might actually involve practical work, if I can get it passed by the dean.


((That website, by the way, is ace. I highly recommend it if you want to poke around.))

Oh, Doctor... CJ gave me this. [Jack hands off a piece of paper folded into quarters (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/394350.html?thread=18460526#t18460526).]

[Ten raises an eyebrow at him, knowing CJ's lesson plan for the day, but not certain as to his part in it. He opens the note, reads it, and laughs, handing Jack back the note. It reads as follows, in CJ's bold handwriting:]

You are entirely too smart for your own good, kid. Go bother your dad.

[Jack reads the note and laughs.] I gave her plenty of chances to shut me up if she wanted to. [He's still grinning as he folds the note back up and tucks it in his backpack.]

So are you going to listen to your mother and pester me, or are you going to be good and go study?

Well, now, if I apply the lessons that Professor Cregg has been teaching me, you phrased that in a manner that slants it in a direction that indicates that *not* doing what she told me to do would be good, and doing what she told me to do would be bad. I think that puts an unnecessarily pejorative cast on her instructions, and so I choose to interpret them exactly and stay here and annoy you.

[The Doctor sighs and gives Jack a Look, then pulls out a copy of Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan and starts to read. He seems to find it amusing.]


((and Rhi's out running around for a while, hence Ten's emphasis.))

[Jack grins and proceeds to bother Snape Ten (http://www.potterpuppetpals.com/bothering.html) for as long as possible -- or until he gets bored.]
