Rhode Island is caked in snow. It's quite beautiful. Snow seems to be a vague improvement on this not-always-so-beautiful little state.
Library work felt so good today. My insulin pump decided to take another stab at my well-being so the nice quiet library was such a relief ... it's so intellectual, so calculatory, so soothingly intensely relaxing, this shelving work ...
Speaking of which, I was amused by this story -http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/03/health/views/03cases.html?_r=1&scp=7&sq=homeless+man+French&st=nyt - which tells of a man apparently devoid of emotion but brimming with intellect, and who enjoyed his work shelving library books.
So last night Benjamin, Jack, and I watched "Star Trek: The Next Generation" for the first time. We love the Original Series but have never watched TNG. Well, I suppose Jack had seem some, but Benjamin and I had never watched any of it. It gave me the creeps ... it was like a soap opera and a weird, nauseous, and vaguely charming spinoff. But in "Unification" - the woman who plays Amanda Grayson - YUCK!
So now I have some books to pick up and must get back to me library thang.
as i recall, it took a few episodes for tng to really settle into a great show. my favorite episodes involve hugh the borg, i think the episode is called "i borg" and the episode with Q are usually great. and there was one where wesley creates a warp bubble that was awesome. the tasha yarr character had some awesomeness as well.
ReplyDeletei kind of hate every time they try to mix characters from the old series into the new ones.
I love that article you linked. I love the acceptance the man has of who he is.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting that you should mention that you hate mixing characters, Vampi - there is something bizarre about that, isn't there?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed it, Sally.
And, I mean, the lady who played AMANDA - it was like biting into a ketchup-cottage cheese-Eucerin wrap. Blonde and like thirty five years old. Dude. What. The heck.
