[Thoughts Before Bed]

I'm looking at all my Austin Fam, from the early 2000s, and how they've scattered to the winds, just to get away from Texas.

It's sad, really. So sad.

IIT IS 83 IN MY LIVING ROOM.

That's 28.3c for those of you who don't use Freedom Units.

You know you're making something good when you're done prepping the food and your fingers smell AMAZING.

@ami_angelwings @socketwench - Oddly, the Sulu's Great Great Grandfather scene doesn't take place in Chinatown, but directly after Kitk goes to sell his glasses on Market Street. Missed opportunity there, both with the interfering stage mom and not putting it in Chinatown.

@ami_angelwings @socketwench - And so we see the nexus point where the mirror universe shunts off from. ;)

@ami_angelwings @socketwench - Motion Picture and Khan oscillate as my fave Trek movies. Search for Spock is way up there, too.

@socketwench - Fun fact, the copy of the early script I had, which I've since lost, had the whales as Adam and Evie. A LITTLE ON THE NOSE THERE.

@socketwench - Again, I find the interrogation of Chekov (is he being avoidant, or is he really just being dumb) and the "here's a pill for a new kidney" to be very very bad additions, and another reason I don't like the movie. Add to it, the ham handedness of the Save The Whales information at the Cetacian Institute, I really only watch this movie to complete the trilogy.

@socketwench - That SERIOUSLY bothers me, and is one of the many reasons I don't like the movie. Scotty, as an engineer, with a passion for it, would know what a mouse is Maybe he'd have problems navigating the OS, but not just ignorant of a mouse. Plus his typing with one finger. Really bothers me.

@socketwench - So. The Wub Wub sound of the whale probe. The deep bass wub wub.

The sound designer came up with multipled versions of that sound, each time Nimoy said "No. Not like that." Over and over and over again. Eventually the sound designer got so angry, he pulled Nimoy over to the mic and told him "WHAT SHOULD IT SOUND LIKE?!"

Nimoy: "Wub wub wub."

The sound on the screen? A heavily filtered Nimoy going wub wub wub over and over again.

@socketwench - Meanwhile, in Europe, they got this in their movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VkCW7Xdpsc

@socketwench - Something that's a personal headcanon is that the Klingon's AREN'T a warrior race They're a PASSIONATE race. They give EVERYTHING 150%. Sure they're amazing warriors, because they're passionate about it. But we've also seen the Klingon Chef who is passionate about cooking. And here the Klingon Politician who is putting 150% into this.

Question for the Ancient among us on the Internet: Do you remember a text based program/app/website/gopher-thingy called "World Wide Window?" This would have been about 1993/1994 or so.

My college had it as what looked to be a text-only Web Browser, but it could have been gopher or a gopher front end. That's about all I remember about it. Any ideas what it was?

QOTD: "Wait! That's a loadbearing sandwich!"
