Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

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 artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

From what publicly available info I've seen, Nimoy seemed to have a good, long life. I'm glad he shared his Spock with us. May he rest in peace or move on to an even groovier stage in the universal cycle.

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

OK, have applied coffee, tea, Flonase, Nasalcrom, Claritin, Aleve, miso soup, shirred eggs, and chocolate covered espresso beans and have gotten the headache I woke up with to recede. Time to get this day underway.
