Star Trek fan survey; housemate search
May. 11th, 2011 09:45 pmStarTrek.com posted a fan survey being done by anthropology professor Daryl Frazetti, and I took it, and it seems good and worth taking. The prof isn't a bigshot or anything (never heard of his uni, CSU Channel Islands), but he seems sincere, ethical, and a fan himself. I read his informal survey results paper for his 2010 survey, and it felt very fan-friendly, fanfic-friendly, female-fan-friendly, and that he in general gets it.

So, while since I don't know the guy I can't *endorse* his work, he seems unlikely to commit sudden SurveyFail or anything. Also, the 2011 survey is pretty brief, only a one-pager that took me about 5 minutes to fill out.

Unrelatedly, my household is seeking a new housemate. We have decided to stay where we are for a new lease year and re-shuffle the rooms so that there are 3 bedrooms, a living room (former dining room) and a reading/TV room (formerly the ex-housemate's study), and put the dining table in the kitchen since we so rarely use it for more than one or two people at a time. We're happy to plan another year here in large part because the difficult downstairs neighbors are leaving. And since their noise primarily impacts my bedroom, it shouldn't affect the new housemate. We've had several responses to our ad and are seeing a few people this weekend, but if you or someone you know is looking in Somerville, you can point them to our ad (our post on the Davis Square LJ community).
