"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....

@mxtiffanyleigh Sounds like an opportunity! :D

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.

So I bought some frozen samosas and it came with mint and tamarind chutney. Love the stuff. But I was wondering...the very first Indian restaurant I went to in State College, PA, had TOMATO chutney. It was REALLY REALLY good. I've never seen it anywhere but that one restaurant.

I need to learn to make that cause it was really good.

Protip: When baking food, remember to put the food IN the oven.

i can cook gud

The only thing dumber looking than a Cybertruck is a Cybertruck with a camper shell.

One of my favorite pieces of movie soundtrack music reduced to one piano that sounds every bit as good as the orchestral version.

@socketwench - I always rankle when people group ST3 in the "Bad Trek" category. It's a good movie. It's not the Pulp Sci-Fi of TMP, or Moby Dick in Space like TWOK, but it is a funeral dirge for Spock. Everything is being done to get Spock's body back until they realize he's alive. It's slower, more solemn. As is right for a funeral dirge.

Even at the end we don't know we're gettnig him back, so it's treated solemnly.

It's one of my faves.

But that one with the whales, now....

@socketwench - The destruction of the Enterprise hurt. It really hurt.

Like, I know the 1701-A is the same model as the TMP 1701. But adding that A on there...it's a while new character, and one I dont like as much because we didn't spend time together. Just two movies.

Find storry about the melting saucer section...it was achieved by dropping colored candlewax on a substitute model. The candlewax was composited away with the burning infrastructure underneath.

@antijingoist @socketwench - Personally I never liked it. It made me laugh everytime instead of feel for David's death.

Different strokes....
