Community College
I hope it can be established that I’m not a total idiot. I think it’s also fair to say that I’m not the brightest bulb on the tree. Thing is, sometimes attending community college makes me feel like a freakin’ rocket scientist. We got our second test back in my Legal Environment of Business class tonight. I got the highest grade. Again. At least this time he didn’t announce my name… he just said what the highest points earned was, and it matched what was on my paper. Anyway, I had to read two of my essay answers aloud, and I promise you these were not stellar essays. But, they still managed to be the best in the class.
It’s a really excellent thing that I follow lots of brilliant people on Google+… they help keep me grounded/keep my head from growing ridiculously large for no good reason.
In My PJs
I was super lazy today. I’ve pretty much had the place to myself, which really only happens on Saturdays, so I never left my pajamas. I also took a ridiculously long nap this afternoon. It makes me a little curious about how I’d behave if I lived alone, heh. It seems that if I don’t get dressed by about 11am, I’ve pretty much made the decision to scrap my day and be a lump.
Today wasn’t such a bad day to do nothing, though. It was the first snow of the season, and I have hours and hours of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine to adventure through.
Journey Quest
If you’re a geek like me, this is the sort of thing that gets you excited… Journey Quest is about to have a full-length second season!!
There’s something about fantasy and comedy together that works really well for me. It’s an invitation for the mind to come out and play; to not take everything so seriously. It’s a reminder that sometimes you want someone a little different on your team, because diversity of talents is a good thing. A questing party of five human fighters would get pretty dry, and quite dangerous, after a while.
I pledged $50, so apparently I get to coin two Orcish words. Any suggestions?
Six Left
I’m on episode 173 of 178 of Star Trek: The Next Generation. My favorite moments of the series have to include Data’s Ode to Spot and Picard making young Patterson his ”Executive Officer in charge of radishes.” I love this series! The only episode that really threw me was The Host. It felt too much like a fanfic story.
I’m looking forward to checking out DS9 next, since I didn’t pay all that much attention to it when I was a kid.
Joy and Sorrow
While Netflix has had its share of naysayers lately, I’ve been using it a lot to stream Star Trek: The Next Generation. I just finished episode five of season three.
I always knew it was a good show, but I appreciate it on a totally different level now that I’m an adult. One of the awesome things about Sci-Fi and Fantasy series, in general, is that they hold up reasonably well over time because they do not take place in the ‘normal’ world. While it is kind of funny that the tricorders are four times the size of my cell phone, it’s easy enough to suspend disbelief because the implied level of sophistication is still beyond our capabilities to reproduce.
Anyway, my point is that this show is really good. IS really good, not was. One episode can make me double over in laughter, and the next can make me hug my knees in empathy for a character.
I love it.
