Star Trek freaks me out Feb. 3rd, 2010 @ 08:16 pm
When I was little, ABC (or was it CBS? We only got two channels, so it was one of those) re-played Star Trek TOS episodes. Their plots and images are embedded deep in my subconscious.

I just saw the episode "Miri" for the first time in 15 years. When I was a kid, the rusty tricycle and dusty, deserted town freaked me out. As an adult, Kirk trying to act paternal to a 13-year-old girl and coming off looking like Pedofile Jim freaks me out.

Ew. Just... ew.

tiniest stegosaurus


I would like to introduce you to the Tiniest Stegosaurus. He is almost to scale to the Lincoln Memorial on the penny.

IMG_8048 cougar sighting

As illustrated by diagram one, I live on the edge of a small town. But my house is also firmly ensconced in suburbia. Deer, coyotes, nutria, foxes, raccoons... they've all wandered to within less than 50 yards from my street, but I've never seen any come closer. I assume because of the lights and traffic.

My next door neighbor went out for a smoke two nights ago and practically stepped on on a cougar. They're not rare in this area, but it's strange that this one ventured so far into suburbia. According to the state trooper who stopped by, there have been four other sightings in the nearby neighborhoods.

Looks like we picked a good time to go to California. I'll have to ask mom to be extra careful not to let the cats out when she feeds them this week.

Aaaaaand of course I'm not the first one to notice.

Hello! It is 6:30 am, I am at work, and I'm going from here directly to an all night LAN. Sleep is for the WEAK.

(PS: Avatar was quite good.)
