A Guilty Pleasure...
Sep. 13th, 2003 12:00 amYes, indeed it is a guilty pleasure. You see, recently all twenty two episodes of Star Trek: The Animated Series fell into my lap. Most folks (including Hobbes, it seems) get a near-terminal case of the twitch when the topic comes up, but for me... well, this is indeed a delightful find. A long time fan of the original series and cartoon, having a full set of the second was (to my mind) a -major- score. :)
And Hobbes is -still- twitching at me on Yahoo! Messenger. :p I'm on episode 9, and truly enjoying this wonderful reliving of memories. Such wonderful memories. It takes one item off my 'need to acquire' list... which still includes the original Star Trek series, Space: 1999, Blake's 7, Star Blazers, and *blush* Rainbow Brite and She-Ra. :p
The day was anchored by a massive conflagration with Megan in the middle of watching Wing Commander. In essence, she was being twitchy, and my attempts to find out what the real problem was proved to be gasoline on the barbeque. It left me incredibly frustrated and annoyed when it became apparent that the problem was actually her just being itchy. Grr.
Sat and watched The Core afterwards. It was at least a -bit- better than Wing Commander, though there were some definite logic problems with it. Ah well. You will believe that a huge tapeworm made of a new and hitherto unknown metal can nuke the planetary core into moving about... and live to tell about it. :p
In the meantime, I'm just trying to ride out the rest of what's proved to be an extremely bad day. With the all-day rain, my pain levels are pretty high. I ... wasn't bargaining on such intensity. As a result, I've been singularly uncomunicative, and am likely to remain so. :/
Anyway, I'm going to wander on. *hugs and cuddles*
