We have a group meeting tomorrow at work and there are going to be a lot of off-site researchers there that I haven't met before. I'm giving a brief talk and I am freaking out. I don't really have problems with public speaking - between teaching and talks and a whole lot of performance experience as a girl, I'm pretty much used to being in front of groups - but I don't feel at all confident about what I'm going to be covering tomorrow and this is my first impression on most of these people and have I mentioned that I've only been working on this for four weeks? Meep.
Anyway. *distracts self*
Is anybody else watching "Brothers & Sisters", and why does Calista Flockhart still look so weird to me when I keep hearing about how she's so beautiful? And how was the BBC "Robin Hood"? And is that Snow Patrol in the background of that commercial for the Marie Antoinette movie? La la la. *thinks of other things*

on 2006-10-10 01:20 pm (UTC)I don't know, I just keep hearing about it. Whatever. Her face is sort of weird to me.
The show is fine. Good cast and interesting storyline, although I don't know how long it'll keep my interest beyond the initial conflicts that have been set up and seem to be resolving themselves in some form or another.

on 2006-10-09 04:00 pm (UTC)I've been watching Brothers and Sisters, mostly because of the cast. I've never been a Calista Flockhart fan. And I don't think she's beautiful. With so many truly beautiful actresses out there, she becomes just ordinary.
The show has my attention for now, I just wish Tom Skerritt was still on.

I've been at work early and late for the meetings the last couple of days and haven't had time to sit down and play online, but that's definitely on my list and I can't wait to listen - I'll definitely let you know what I think!
