Beyond The Blog
Old posts from mailing lists, usenet, and my website before I started using scripts and backend software to manage the content and eventually realized I was blogging, plus posts from any time that I’ve transferred here from other services (Instagram, Facebook, etc.).
Happy birthday #StarTrek! Today’s the #StarTrek50 anniversary — 50 years since The Man Trap, the first broadcasted episode hit the air — and while I wasn’t around for that, Star Trek has been part of my life for longer than I can remember. And that’s quite literally true; there are family stories of me at about two, sitting on Dad’s lap, excitedly pointing saying “Speeesh!” and pointing somewhere back over my shoulder as the Enterprise swept across the screen in the opening credits.
#TNG was a staple of my high school years as my friends and I gathered at one house or another to watch, #DS9 is my pick for best total package, #VOY and #ENT are curiosities with occasional high points, and I’m very much looking forward to seeing what Bryan Fuller does with #DIS (#DSC? #STD?) come January. But #TOS will always be the heart and home of Star Trek for me. Those wonderful people and that beautiful ship, and all the adventures they’ve taken me on over the years, on the small screen, big screen, and printed page — much of who I am and how I live simply wouldn’t be the same if they hadn’t been part.
I have been, and always shall be, your friend. #llap #llap50🖖 (252/366)
I’m not bad, I’m just drawn that way. (251/366)
This wasn’t my original plan, but Prairie giggled when she saw this after I flopped and before I got more aesthetically arranged…so here we are. (250/366)
A better photo of the cute lil’ #goth #lego minifig we got today. He’s just so gloomy!
Yum…Italian Prunes picked from our backyard and turned into a dessert crisp!
Today our @fredmeyerstores came through, and we added four more #Lego minifigs…including the little #goth boy I wanted, plus the #Sikh, #banana, and #devil.
Two hours twenty minutes, almost seven and a half miles…and seven unleashed dogs. Ah, well. (249/366)
It’s cupcake time! Nice to have friends who give us treats. (248/366)
Finally found some of the current #Lego minifigs (our local @fredmeyerstores has been letting us down and not stocking these, so we went down and found some at the Yakima @target)! Got one of the three I really wanted (the arctic #explorer with #penguin; I also really want the one wearing a penguin suit and the #goth boy), going to have to keep trying.
