Looking like this week's menu is gonna be Spaghetti all’Assassina, Yeast Rolls, Salisbury Steak and Orange Chicken Parmesan.
Ended up stealing the Spaghetti from Pasta Grammar and Orange Chicken Parmesan from Mythical Kitchen and was craving the Salisbury Steaks and Yeast Rolls, so just went with that instead of seeking out two more online recipes.
My last paycheck is Wednesday, though, so I think this is kinda the last hurrah of Big Awesome Cooking until the job situation gets better or my finances start to balance out a bit.
A few weeks ago, my online riffing group, Drive In Saturday, screened the anime Dragon Half, AND THAT CLOSING CREDIT MUSIC HAS BEEN STUCK IN MY HEAD EVER SINCE.
And then I looked at the translated lyrics AND NOW THOSE ARE STUCK IN MY HEAD AS WELL.
Tonight's TNG was "The Wounded."
I love Rosalind Chao's Keiko O'Brien. She's such a sharper more intense character than the easy going and laid back O'Brien, and the dynamic really works for them as a happily, if occasionally antagonistic married couple.
I'm actually one degree of separation from her in real life. She was on the set of The Big Brawl, which my dad was the camera truck driver for the shoot. Which technically makes me one degree of separation from Jackie Chan now that I think about it. He said she was actually really nice and sweet, but wasn't on the shoot for very long.
Also in this episode, I noticed The Two Datas sitting together! Sitting at one of the forward stations is Guy Vardaman (bottom left), who often doubled for Brent Spiner as Data, as well as was in the background quite a bit. AND was also the inspiration for Guy Fleegman in Galaxy Quest, the character who wasn't important enough for a name.
...oh boy...
Something Leonard Nimoy was very particular about was how his Vulcan ears were portrayed. Specifically that they had a gentle front point on the tips. But another thing about his ears were that they were glued back along his head.
When he first got fitted for the ears for The Motion Picture, Fred Phillips forgot he had to pin his ears back and, as described in the Making Of book, he looked like a "gremlin." Easily fixed though.
But that's something I'm noticing with the new new Trek series Vulcans. They don't pin their ears back. And everytime I see that, I think about that gremlin line in the book. :)
@dolari And don't check the memory alpha page for [spoiler] to refresh your memory of what happened in TNG, because there's a spoiler right at the top of that article right now as well.
