OMG. I found out last night that JVL has never seen Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Nor has he seen Star Trek: The Movie. Who have I been living with???!?? Of course, he OWNS the complete Star Trek Movie Collection on DVD. Still in its plastic, of course. But wow. I told him he has to watch it, ASAP, and warned him that he’ll cry. He says that it’s ridiculous to think he could cry while watching a Star Trek movie. Let’s have a little poll about that [and no spoilers about what will make him cry in the comments, please, people — if you know it’s coming, it loses poignancy!]:<\/p>\n
Had a bit of a glitch last night when Uli went to pick up my quilt and it was nowhere to be seen, but the Neilson Park people found it eventually and all was well. Also, enjoyed drinking gin and tonics at The Brasserie, where we said goodbye to one of my coworkers who is quitting her job to go backpack through Peru for a few months. Mad props to her for not getting sucked in to the corporate life. It’s hard to give up that paycheck.<\/p>\n Funny incident on way home on the bus: I am trying my first applique project, and with my usual “go big or go home” philosophy, am making a large quilt with two life-size skeletons on it, one lying face-up, one face-down, that I will label as fully as possible by embroidering on the names of all the bones (tibia, ulna, phalanges, etc). Was working on sewing the skull to the black background fabric while sitting on the bus, and a lady sitting next to me looked over, hissed “voodoo!” and then got up and stood at the back of the bus. <\/p>\n Have unusual sore throat that had better go the heck away before next week. No sick for Bahamas! No!<\/p>\n In other news, there will likely be more BSG 2.5 viewing tonight. I won’t let myself get excited, in case there are rampant codec problems again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" OMG.
