In Leonard Nimoy news, NPR news put his death as the lead story before the possible closure of Homeland Security. I felt it appropriate.

RIP Leonard Nimoy. I'm glad I got to meet Bill Shatner earlier this month; now I feel like I got lucky.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
RIP Leonard Nimoy
Oh, no. Good-bye, you wonderful man. Thank you for giving me my lifelong role model.

I saw it as only White and Gold, watched the video that Scola posted last night, and now cannot unsee it as Black and Blue. It's bizarre.

The dress of the damned flips back and forth between white/gold and blue/black for me.
I just emailed the StuntHusband, who is a huge Trek geek, to see how he's holding up with the news of Leonard Nimoy.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
It still makes me very angry to have to check a "single" box on any form. It is not how I think of myself.
This. So very much this.
What makes me sad is having to check the box marked "widow/widower." Just keep rubbing it in.

That picture of Leonard Nimoy ... he looks kind of weird without the pointy ears.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I enjoy that, in a dark way. People look at it and flinch, and I like seeing people be disturbed by contemplating how it feels.
