When I was very very young and far more feral, I used to call Lieutenant Farrell here "Ensign Skull" cause my baby brain thought his face looked like a skull.

I was kind of a jerk as a kid. Lieutenant Farrell's probably a nice guy....

My personal Starfleet Museum....

Remember that episode where Geordi turned into a giant teddy bear and rode the Enterprise like a horse? That was awesome.

83 in the house. 😭 If I knew we weren't getting cold later in the next few days, I'd install the A/C.

I hate to waste a good sunny warm day in Seattle, but I woke up late, and need to clean myself up if I'm going to do anything. Let's just keep working on the house, and save some cash and sun for later.

@gaghyogi49 - I wonder, given your love of Star Trek Minutae, if you ever saw my ST:TMP "Watchalong" thread on Twitter. It talks about all the differences in the scripts and versions of the movie with time stamps: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1467222181943726080.html

It ended up turning into this finished (and expanded!) web page about the evolution of the movie from Genesis II all the way up to the 2022 Director's Edition: https://dolari.net/startrek/tmp/index.html

I haven't really kept up with the house since I got roto-rootered. I've decluttered here and there, but mostly the place has cluttered and dusted up. I decided to get back on the end-of-the-month bandwagon and finally deep clean the house. As of right now, only two rooms are clean, but there are two more days in the weekend.

It's been a rough 2023.

Damn. ChatGPT has a sense of taste!

Dammit, Canada.

And this is just THIS week: https://time.com/6275304/zooey-zephyr-montana-anti-trans-legislation/

Pro-trans voice silenced and sidelined. Meanwhile, anti-trans voice says she'd rather have a suicidal daughter than let her transition because "she was incapable of making those decisions and I had to make those decisions for her." YIKES.

I think the next batch of bread will not have poppy seeds on them. THAT STUFF GETS EVERYWHERE.

Forgot how good bread dipped in olive oil with spices is. Especially when it's bread you made yourself.

Really feeling this lately.

Okay, all of April's bills paid, and May rent paid. June rent is saved, and I think I can make all of the May's bills even if the severance doesn't come in.

But it better come in. I kinda need it.

Only three BIOS flashes in twenty five years, and this is the first one that actually WORKED. And hey, Wake On LAN works now, she said turning her apartment into a freakin' Borg Cube.

This would kill any return to Texas. While I've always planned for a return some day, it's been doubtful for years...but this would end that.
