I just got the funniest email from my Big Boss about how she basically elbowed Al Sharpton aside so she could meet Michelle Obama. Good times.
Mal: He calls back, you keep them occupied. Wash: What do I do, shadow puppets?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That is kinda great, Jesse. I want to be your Big Boss.
DH was making fun of the President of Notre Dame for looking so happy to be standing next to Obama, but I have to say, if I were standing next to him I'd have a big ol' grin myself.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
It warmed up a bit today. Now it's more like typical May weather here.

Today was so long. Not enough hours.
lisah, I saw a post to the listserv about the Ride, but I hadn't realized it was your team! Cool.

She is awesome.
In other awesome news, I saw an offhand comment somewhere else about delivery.com, and they have stuff in my neighborhood! A medianoche is on its way to me now!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
The NCC-1701--"No A, B, C, or D" to quote Scotty from TNG--is the best ship.

I am having tv scheduling conflict, and find myself watching American Idol for the first time this year, out of indecision! My life is hard.

Our wings are not tired.

Come to think of it, that's how I hear it too. Not the A-mitch previously reported.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Dibs on USS Defiant (NX-74205).
To me, the Defiant just says "tv spaceship," whereas the Enterprises (and their ilk) sorta' transcend that in their design.
Yeah, it sounds corny when I write it out, but that's pretty much how I feel....
Somewhat unrelatedly, a cool picture of the Enterprise (CV-6) taken before the war, when she was still in white paint and had her portholes (which were welded shut when war was imminent): [link]

eta: A famous still from a film of a bomb at the moment it detonated on the flight deck: [link] (This bomb was defective, and caused relatively little damage. But in the upper left, you can see smoke from a previous bomb hit that set off the powder for some anti-aircraft guns, killing about 30 men.)
