We don't have to warn for spoilers for Star Trek any more do we? I was just thinking: I've seen fic dealing with Spock Prime(*)'s relationship with Kirk (mainly from an often angsty "Kirk and Spock were...just the ones that personally affect him like the death of his mother and destruction of Vulcan. *is a geek about time travel stories* (*)The one from the alternate future, played by Leonard Nimo

These are the last days of my Golden Year , and in fact it has been golden. I quit a job that was slowly destroying me, took a big trip to new places, spent a year at MIT with some wonderful people, met...uses a different part of the storytelling brain. Speaking of vids, this one by the incredibly talented newkidfan that I just came across this morning is beautiful: Language (SGA, John, gen

I heard something today that has me very confused. Psychobitch MeMe Roth got completely pwnd by Stuart Varney at FOX news . I want to feel vindicated, or perhaps pleasantly surprised by this. But no...than arrogant jackasses who agree with me. That kind of unreasoned jackassery makes everyone who shares that viewpoint look bad. Yes Madam, you ARE shameful. But not because Stuart Varney says so

For some reason I'm just now getting around to posting that I went to the midnight show for Harry Potter 6 on Tuesday. Fandom was, as expected, ridiculous and absurd. The little kids were the most well...beyond that kind of passive aggresive game playing. Apparently not. So yeah...that was a bummer. On the plus side, the situation exploded and now I don't have to pretend not to dislike anyone anymore

I've had a difficult and trying week thusfar. Just a lot of little things coming at me all at once. Lots of close friends are having difficulties that I'm basically powerless to help them with. As always...haven't heard from my new editor. My default search engine at work is some stupid nonsense called "Bing," and someone used my work desk in my absense and now my marked-up catalog is missing. Grrrr

Like most people I know, I think US drug policy is stupid. Prevention and treatment services are routinely cut (or never funded in the first place) in order to fund law enforcement's clever idea to stop...target big dealers when 95% of all arrests are for possession of less than an ounce. I can't though, as I must leave for work. I'm tired and I have a long day (and long week actually) ahead. Toodles

Sagittarius (current week) : A guy I barely know critiqued me at a party recently. "You haven't suffered enough to feel intense passion," he said. "Your life has been too happy, too easy." I didn't...wrist brace. Now I have to buy one, maybe two. Plus, BOTH hands are falling asleep for no reason. I suppose it could have something to do with my being on a computer for 75% of my waking hours. :-

I could use a refresher course in the five stages of grief. I was pretty bummed to see that Farrah Fawcett had died. In addition to being iconically beautiful (if skinny blondes are your thing, I mean...Thriller. Due to my strong personal convictions, I wish to stress that my posting of this YouTube in no way endorses a belief in the occult. My rampant Paganism does that just fine by itself. ;-]

I'll be getting to the comments from the other posts in just a bit. Ehehehe, I don't think I've posted this much since I went to Taiwan last year, and I appreciate the comments and debates going on. Just...analysis of the Green movement, on the role of women in Iran's history, and her role as a journalist. And finally, Democracy, made in Iran , from the Guardian on Iran's complicated history with the U.S

I consider myself really lucky--not only do I have a terrific dad and a great husband, but I've been blessed with many men in my life who have acted as friends, mentors, and counselors. I was thinking... I asked Dad what he thought, and he smiled beatifically and said, "Payback." To all the good guys who've made my life better, thanks. And to all you fathers, happy Father's Day. It's an important job
