( My star trek squee. Let me tell u it. )

Brother has given me his cold.  Ears are totally stuffed up, despite 12-hour dose of pseudophedrine.  Blaaaaaaargh.

In happier news, went on a bit of a TOS bender today, and in celebration of Memorial Day (sort of), watched episodes "The Omega Glory," and "By Any Other Name," otherwise known as "The American Planet" and "The Nazi Planet," ( Read more... )
