I hate flowcharts

[alexiscartwheel]

Seriously, why are there so many flowcharts in my reading? LIS people are apparently in love with drawing diagrams of their theoretical models and I DON'T GET IT!

I'm sure this must be some sort of learning style mis-match thing, but it makes me feel very stupid. I just see boxes and arrows that I can't decipher. What's wrong with just writing about what's going on instead of just drawing a bunch of arrows?

ETA: Also, there are too many acronyms and abbreviations to keep straight. Then even the words don't have meaning. Argh.

ETA2: I forgot about xkcd's Guide to Understanding Flow Charts. I wish the ones in my articles were this simple! Yeah, back to work or whatever.

Well according to Amazon the DVD will be released on April 21st. I have no idea when they're actually going to air it on television. I would think maybe fall at the earliest?

Hopefully my motto ::points to icon:: applies to family/courtroom drama (or whatever the hell Caprica is supposed to be about).

Is Caprica technically set in space? I mean, it's set a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... but does that tenet still apply if they stick planetside?

Well, no, I suppose it technically isn't in space. But I'm holding out hope that there will at least be some stuff in space.

Ahahaha. (I'm laughing at your icon.)

We shall see, I suppose.

On a completely unrelated note, I got my friend Sarah hooked on "Skeleton Key." More Margot converts!
