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\)

...so the movie is that good?

Gee. might have to watch it, now. Problem is, all I've ever watched of "Star Trek" is "first contact", and that's only because my sister got it for free... with no subtitles, so I watched it a few times in my teenager years as listening comprehension practice (and there are still parts of it that I don't quite get). I can safely say I'm not a trekkie, because i haven't watched enough of it to be one. XD

But I know myself, and how obsessive I can be when it comes to watching everything there is to be watched of a particular story, and that would mean starting from the very first series, and slowly working my way to the present... and that's a lot.

...but if the movie is that good, I just may do it.

Darn it. :P

(and I want that new chapter of xxxholic, too!! It's been more than a month already!! >_<)

Oh, and just to send you to new levels of disbelief... can you believe that my dad has never watched even one of the Star Wars movies? not even the old ones? (though he watched "Planet of the Apes" several times as a kid... does that count for anything? :P)

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.
