Today was spent mainly in bed. Granted, I did clean the larger house (and suspect it may have been my urn to clean this house, but oh well, tomorrow). But most of the time? Bed. I don't know why, but I've felt like a limp wet noodle all day, really tired-like.

I did watch Star Trek and thought it was quite a bit meh (except for Simon Pegg, who as awesome and Zachary Quinto when he was ass-kicking, 'cause oooh baby). Also watched last week's True Blood (whoot!) It felt like a filler-episode, but loved it nonetheless.

And I think I've picked a knitting project. Well, there's dozens that I want to do, but I've found a good starter (yes, it's a scarf, but it's a really cool one! Gloves incorportated!) So now I need to get the yarn and needle and skillz. Two out of three will not only be bad, but catastrophic.

I loved Star Trek! I'm not really a fan of the TV shows, but I thought the movie was amazing.

The scarf/mittens look very you.

Well, my Star Trek will always be The Next Generation (oh, Picard!). Also, I didn't really invest emotionally into the characters of the movie (except maybe Spock at the beginning, but he then just fazed out a bit until his talk with his dad at the end) which is a major thing for me in a movie. All in all, good movie, it just didn't grip me.

knitting! That is an excellent idea =] I'm still trying to finish my scarf from 2004. It realy shouldn't be so difficult to finish a really long rectangle O.O

I was once a huge TNG fan <3 Still watch reruns pretty often

I admit, most of the reason why I loved the hell out of Star Trek was that movie!Kirk reminded me strongly of a character I've been writing a lot of porn for lately. Also, Spocklar telling the Vulcan Council of the Whatever "Live long and prosper" to the tune of "Fuck off and die" will never get old.

PS: *picks you up and snuggles you*

PPS: I'm now imagining you trying to knit with yarn and skillz but no needle. You could do it if you were telekinetic!

..."Live long and prosper" to the tune of "Fuck off and die" will never get old.

That truly was awesome. And more than a bit Sylary.

...trying to knit with yarn and skillz but no needle.

Voila! Fingerknitting! (http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEsummer06/FEATfingerknitting.html)

I think I only started watching TNG 'cause my brother did, but it's the only Star Trek I liked. No other captain measured up, and I loved all the other characters.

Actually, quite a lot of Quintotrek was Sylary. Mommy issues, anyone?
