Oh No

Nimue is on Doctor Who, promising to be just as annoying as crazy-mission-impossible-lady as she was as Nimue.

I think I just put a record number of "as"es there.

Also, how did Shakespeare spell "as"es becasue the way I have chosen to spell it seems awkard?

I'm off to research

EDIT:  According to shakespeare.mit.edu I have spelled it a la shakespeare.  I'm too lazy to log into my own university's webpage and search it on EEBO (which is nearly as awesome as the OED, but not quite.  I'm pretty sure I'm staying in academia for the incredible online archives that I could never afford on my own.) and my SHINY NEW ARDEN SHAKESPEARE HAMLET is in my car and I'm definitely not braving the cold for it.

Speaking of shiny new shakespeares, I got a free copy of the newest Norton edition of Hamlet (with Jude Law qua Hamlet on the cover) in my mailbox at school just because the publishing company wants me to buy it for my students.  When I opened it I actually squee-ed.  IN OFFICE HOURS.  BECAUSE I KNOW THAT PROVING TO MY STUDENTS THAT I AM MATURE IS A HOPELESS, HOPELESS TASK.

But WHY, Arthur?

Why does my ridiculous wookie-descended dog prefer toilet water flavored with clorox-2000-flushes-type stuff to tap water with (much needed, and surprisingly effective) minty dog breath freshener?

You may say it is that he doesn't like mint, but he hunts old dental floss with almost as much dedication as butter.  Yes, those are my dog's two favorite things as far as I can tell.  

My dog makes me seem almost normal, and that is the truth.

I have been waiting for this ever since Benedict Cumberbatch said "Just...tell me... what happened from the beginning" and it sounded COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY like Alan Rickman.
