Getting started on the Wrath of Khan script comparisons.

I always buy green bananas so they last through the week, but these are like unnaturally gamma ray irradiated green.

Where I am now.

"You broke your little ship."

Little accident while getting dressed of all things.

Dealer: So, for your next car we have these two models on the lot and ready to go. Which would your prefer?

Jenn: The Sportruck, please. I'll pay cash.

I think my basil plant is dead. :/

While I was in Texas, my thermostat dropped to 50 to save energy. Basil doesn't do well in anything below 70. And my house was a steady 50 for a week.

I came home to find all the leaves browning and dry, and the water dried up (I filled it to the brim on the way out the door). I'm watering it again to see if I can save it, but I don't think it will.

Blrf.

I remember back in the days when 1080 HD Video was coming out that I thought animation wouldn't look much different. I was quickly proven wrong. A 1984 anime movie in 4K? It looks FREAKING AMAZING.

We are rapidly and quickly losing the battle in the US for trans rights on the Federal Level. We must protect them on the state level where they're still protected, and fight all the way down to the local level if necessary. If only to buy time to get more people to safety.

Images before Bed.

"Andrea Banking Towards a Mountain." Drew this for the comic way back in 2013. Very poignant for my last few weeks.

Easy open box my Aunt Fanny.

I made this batch with lard instead of shortening. They're not as good....

Hey, all! Some fun ST:TMP related news!

As you may know, I'm a fan of Movie Archaeology, digging into early drafts of movies. ST:TMP got me started in that, and was the subject of my first comparison page of all the drafts and movies, which you can see here: http://dolari.net/startrek/tmp/index.html

What CAN'T you see? The actual scripts (unless you ask real nice). Mainly because I can't afford the bandwidth for some of these scripts to be downloaded. However, the folks over at Forgotten Trek have made some of the scripts I have available for reading!

Read Phillip Kaufman's "Star Trek: Treatment for the Motion Picture " (a last ditch attempt to keep Star Trek: Planet of the Titans afloat) here: https://forgottentrek.com/phase-2/planet-of-the-titans-the-film-that-wasnt/

Read both Harold Livingston's Rough Draft and Gene Roddenberry's Second Draft of "In Thy Image" here: https://forgottentrek.com/phase-2/in-thy-image (The Rough Draft was written for the proposed TV show, and the Second Draft was written as the production was moving towards Star Trek: The Motion Picture)

I do have other drafts of the movie, which aren't hosted online right now, but if you'd like to read them, let me know.

Three weeks of carbs.

4K HDR television is the best way to watch multi generation thirty year old video tapes. LOOK AT THE DETAILS AND COLOR!

I got the 4K AND 5.1 working from the PC! It's a nightmare hack but it worked. I ended up plugging an Displayport to HDMI cord into the TV. Boom, 4K at 60Hz. There is another cable from the HDMI to the audio splitter. Boom 5.1.

So, after all that, I'm still not getting HDR from the PC but at this point I'm happyish. I get 4K when I need it, 1080p when I don't, and 5.1 all around.

It works well enough....
