1) I have been spending my days playing a lot of Rock Band and reading some ST:Reboot fic.
I was playing yesterday when Conventional Lover by Speck came on. It's important to note that I read the band name as 'Spock' at the time.
So I'm playing the song and it's gets about a third of the way through before I really start listening to the lyrics. I started laughing and laughing and messing up my score beyond belief because that is one tricky chorus, but I did not care because I was laughing too much.
A little taste.
"I wanna be your captain, my Pon Farr is a-risin'
So step on over here girl, my love is enterprisin'."
And since I had read the band name as Spock at first, I spent the entire song imagining it was Spock singing it instead of a Trekkie fanboy. I think my interpretation is better. XD
2) On the subject of Star Trek, there's something I feel the need to make very clear.
I am not a Trekkie.
I come from a solidly Star Wars based household. My early scifi experiences were all built around good, Force-based values, none of this wamsy-pamsy Prime Directive mumbo jumbo. It has always been an established fact in my understanding of the extended universe that Kirk was a tool and Solo was made of awesome. That was just the way things were.
The movie...may have changed things. I think I'm having an existential crises. People, I have been to Memory Alpha. *holds head in hands*
I am not a Trekkie, I am not a Trekkie, iamnotatrekkie.
3) The new Holic chapter is out! Am still waiting for translations since written Japanese and I do not go well together. Then again, spoken Japanese and I don't get along all that well either, but at least we're on speaking terms with each other. (haha, see what I did there, i am so lame. /o\)
