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\)

I thought of you when Doumeki pulled out the egg ;p "Egg of Doom!" I shouted, which scared everyone around me. But, yeah -- hate that thing. And Doumeki looks pained in that one panel, I hope he's not thinking of doing something stupid (most likely, he is). And it just occurred to me, but Mokona didn't use his earring yet, albeit for that one time when he had to seal Sakura's memories and Watanuki's past. Argh, whatever it is, DON'T BE HASTY, DOUMEKI.

I don't know a single thing about Star Trek. I think it says a lot about where I come from, pffft.

Oh god, that damn egg. idek. I still think it's going to be something like a replacement for Watanuki in case the events of Tsubasa call for his existence to be erased, like that kimono padding thing that Watanuki is supposed to be named after. So my theory basically amounts to egg= kimono padding. That's genius right there, that is. :\

And Doumeki! See, at first I'd think that Doumeki wouldn't ever be hasty about anything, but then I realize that that just means he'll think long and hard about it with diligent patience and then do the stupid risky thing anyway. It actually makes him the scariest person in xxxHolic because you know that what ever it is he ends up doing, he's doing it because he thought long and hard about it and decided it had to be done. Even if it's something like killing the woman in the park.

Gah, I forgot about that earring, too. It was on my list of things that need to be cleared up before the end, though now I guess I can cross the appearance of Maru and Moro. Still want to know what happened to Mugetsu, though.

I wonder if Watanuki would ever be able to get his memories back. I wonder what he remembers in the first place.
