[english]This is one of those times when I feel bad for not being fluent in Japanese script. I always knew it'd come back to bite me, but that's what I get. So, if anyone needs a quick translator while this is going on, let me know, okay? It seems like most people here speak Japanese, so... yeah ( Read more... )

This is a Public Service Announcement. If a young, redheaded Russian whizkid comes to you saying that something was invented in or originated from Russia, he's lying. This includes ( Read more... )

Okay. Without mentioning flowers, plants, plant-like objects or anything even vaguely resembling something I can get in a botany lab ( Read more... )

[Who's that pretty woman with the messiest bun in the universe, sitting on a bed in a Starfleet regulation cabin, wearing command gold?

Oh, you know who it is. And (he) doesn't look all that surprised by this, but that doesn't mean he's all that pleased, either. ...It stands to note that the bun might actually be for fashion, rather than just ( Read more... )

Coming up with gift ideas when you're in the middle of nowhere, literally, is sort of a pain in the ass. What do you do when you can't really pick up anything for someone, but you still want to get them something?

[LOCKED FROM TORCHWOOD]And more importantly, what do you get someone you're romantically involved with? I don't think I've ever ( Read more... )

[The video seems at first to be timelapsed; it's as though the community recorded almost an entire week's worth of footage and now that something was actually meant to be posted, it was trying to parse through the useless things. It shows Sulu's cabin moving at an incredible pace, reducing each day to a mere few moments as Sulu ( Read more... )

Anyone else getting put off by how many (relatively) good viruses we've been getting lately? I mean, other than the ghosts, the cruise was very nice, and that last one looked like it was fun for those involved ( Read more... )
