I've been meaning to post this forever. So a few weeks ago the dwinn and I made our way over to the Detroit Science Center for the Star Trek Exhibit. It was pretty nifty. Geared more to the casual fan in some ways - lots of the information about the show was old hat to a couple of hardcore Trek nerds - but the props and costume exhibits were cool, ( Read more... )

'Star Trek: The Experience' To Close. This makes me sad. My dream of going to Vegas for our tenth anniversary and renewing our wedding vows with a Klingon Elvis impersonator are dashed forever. (the dwinn, no doubt, is thinking "Thank god...")

I had my first idiotic gardening accident of the year tonight. Nothing compared to the great bush incident ( Read more... )

Post title brought to you by the best spam subject line EVAR. Even better, it said "amazing high pressured fright poo" in the body of the email. I love the intarwebs.

Related to this post, I made "Betrayer of the literary tradition" t-shirts. There's also a mug design at besyd's request ( Read more... )

I ran across this the other day and had a little dorkgasm. I ( Read more... )

Ooooh, this episode of T.J. Hooker is all deep and addressing feminism and the issues and pressures women face in male-dominated professions like policework. And no blonde-of-the-week for Hooker to charm with his Shatnerey wiles ( Read more... )

How much of a dork am I? Enough of a dork that I have seriously considered ordering one of the Earth glyph pendants near the bottom of this page. And then there's these...

*points to icon* Pirates!

For nandamai: It's no beagle family portrait, but the picture at the bottom row, on the right, made me think of you ( Read more... )

I just burned two toes with my lunch. While stirring my straight-from-the-microwave cheddar brocolli potatoes Lean Cuisine, I slopped a big forkful out of the container and onto my open-toe-sandal-clad foot. I managed to refrain from saying "Fuck" very loudly and instead hopped around on one foot, kicking the other and flinging bits of broccoli ( Read more... )
