Oh nuts, Majel Barrett Roddenberry died. She reportedly recorded all her computer voices for the new Star Trek movie before she died.
I guess she definitely won't be in Leave it to Sulu now.

My review of A Grand Night for Singing.

Sulu's getting married!One of my favorite things these days is to get a Frosty or similar from Wendy's and put it in a coffee cup so I can drink it at my desk and look professional. Today, Frosty with mix-in cookie dough pieces. OMG ( Read more... )

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When I was in Seattle recently, I was impressed with the extravagant requests of three seedy-looking homeless guys downtown. Their cardboard signs made it clear they wanted far more than the usual alms. "Need cash to buy fuel for my Lear jet," read one.
