First things first: the upcoming Heroes episode, Cautionary Tales. HeroesWiki gives a nice little non-spoilery summary of what's in store. I'll let you read it if you like on their main page, but I have to point at a few things here.
Grief-stricken, [Hiro] flings himself into the past and makes a stunning personal discovery. - Fuck, not again. Hiro, get the hell out of the past! It's boring when you do, and you can't fix it.
Maya and Alejandro's relationship is tested as they travel with Sylar. - Did you see that? Did you see? Sylar! (And the wonder twins, but they're only fun 'cause Syler runs circles round them in that delightfully manipulative bastardly way of his.) Coo-ee, Sylar's the center is relationship-testing! It'll be sexy, you know it will.
Peter meets someone who could unlock his past. - This damn better well be Claude. (Also? His "past"? Dude, Peter has the most straightforward past ever. There are no obvious wtf-happened holes in his personal plot. Nathan, on the other hand, need's some 'splaing to do regarding his Abre los ojos** getup.) And note how Peter never does anything?

sarahetc's post: he's so passive, just letting things happen.

Today I crawled out of bed into the blinding hall light (c/o Lars, who was getting ready for a weekend in London, the lucky bastard) with nigh four hours of sleep. The train was late/cancelled, so I ended up waiting half an hour, meaning I got to Leiden at 9:05 for my 9 am class, and it takes me 20 minutes to get to class from the station. This two days after Martina, our course coordinator, hassled us about being late and cutting class. "It's not nice." *sigh* I met another chick who's in my class at the station (the one I keep thinking of as American despite being Dutch because she's a) loud and b) interrupts people to give summaries if what they've been saying in response to her question). She has a bike in Leiden, though, so I was in later than her.
Cue a couple hours (literally, this time) of lecture followed by a review of our assignment (passed nicely) and exam (passed - and that's all I wanted), after which I walked to the only university lab I know of where I have access. I don't have the right ID/password for the computers in the biology building, which really sucks because it takes me over half an hour to get to the other computer lab. Anyway, made it there, bought a sandwhich on the way (with cumin-cheese and tomatoe - wierd) and spent four hours straight wading through GoogleScholar and various scientific journals for my group project on the fox-tick-lyme disease dynamic.
On the train, I got hungry. Well, not so much hungry as a piercing jab of pain which either means you haven't eaten in two weeks or your stomach is going canibalistic. So I had a Groote Broodje Chicken Doner (though chicken really is kip in Dutch, I think), felt non-hungry but still with the jabbing pain.
I stopped by the supermarket before getting home.
What I bought:
Hummus
Jasmin Tea
"Sleepy Time" herbal tea
Dutch-style pancakes
Nutella
Ben and Jerry's Fossil Fuel
Tiramisu portion
Chocolate tablet
Chocolate chip cookies
Bacardi Lemon Breezer
Please tell me what's wrong with me.
