"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I can't remember the title, but the one where we meet the Organians, who tell him that Feds and Klingons will be friends and Kirk and the Klingon commander both glare at each other. And Kirk gets called out on his looking for a fight and he goes "Oh, um, no, we want peace, um . . ."

Wikipedia says "Errand of Mercy."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, and The Day of the Dove at the end, when they have to pretend to be friends with the Klingons.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Do you guys carry phone chargers on you normally? A woman asked if I could lend her one today at the hospital--I always try and remember to take one with me there--one plug and three cables for my four devices, otherwise THE FUN MIGHT STOP.

But I don't usually have one on me otherwise--I only carry the cables, not the adapter itself.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I do not normally carry a phone charger. Unless I stuck one in my purse for a specific reason and then forgot it was there, which sometimes happens, but not often enough to be considered normal, I think.

Eclipses are cool.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I keep one at the office, and have one in easy reach when I travel. Not when I'm just going about my day-to-day, though.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I carried one to the hospital. I don't have one day-to-day though. Just for travel and things like Dad in hospital.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I keep one in my car, but not in my purse.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I have one in my backpack, which I usually have with me. And in the office. And in the car. And two at home.

I found some for cheap so I bought a bunch. It's worked out.

Well, not if I'm just wandering about town. If I'm traveling for work, then yes, I have one in my bag. And when working from home, obviously.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All of my cables are USB Standard A on one end, and then one proprietary Apple, a proprietary Samsung (for the tablet), and and a Micro (phone and Nook). So they can plug into the one adapter in my car (tuned high output for the tablet, juiciest of the all), they can plug into my home laptop or my work laptop, but I probably should get another Samsung strength one for my bag at all time. Only the car charger and the *one* wall charger gets the Samsung going. The other six or seven are just for punkass phones and iPods and sheeit.

But I should be prepared. Ans I'd also need to sticker the, to make it mine,.
