holodeck is no preparation for the real thing
I was in no way prepared for as saddlesore as I'd be after even an hour on Zephyr, after so long away from Earth... holographic animals move differently from the real thing, and no matter how you deny otherwise, it just isn't quite the same. I'm going to have to talk to Diz and Spiegel. They seem to be able to get their hands on all kinds of ( Read more... ) -
I'll need a vacation from my vacation.
I'm at my parents'. Dad's offworld right now. Told Mama I needed to get to bed early. Also told her that I planned to get rid of the bedspread that I made from the wedding gown, the one I would've worn to marry Carson. Didn't tell her because it's because I saw a picture of the bitch known as Other Me wearing it, no need to tell her that. It's time ( Read more... ) -
I'm due for Risa
This could've been predictable, because I try to hit Risa a minimum of every six months at the minimum, and it's been that. That can't really be helped, because I need to spend time with the girls, and because my leave isn't always predictable ( Read more... ) -
Poor Elvis.
So, it looks like it's time for the inevitable... it's okay, little guy, it'll be better in the long run :) Just trust me, I know about this. It's better this way because you can't borrow my Hor'gahn and go to Risa like your mommy does twice a year. And sorry but yes, we have to do this. And yes, tomorrow morning, since Dr. Neera says she'll be ( Read more... ) -
Killing time with Shan
I have to admit I was a bit put out that Jana flaked on our plans for dinner and a holodeck program. I don't know what she did that for, it couldn't be one of the Security goons because Dizi's been keeping them occupied ( Read more... ) -
It's appropriate, and worth repeating
Bridge-players tell me that there must be some money on the game, "or else people won't take it seriously." Apparently, it's like that. Your bid,for God or no, for a good God or the Cosmic Sadist, for eternal life or nonentity, will not be serious if nothing much is staked on it. And you will never discover how serious it was until the stakes are ( Read more... ) -
That was poorly done of me
Of all people, the one confronting me was Therav, not Dizi or Jana.
I'm glad he did, but unfortunately not without getting yelled at before I realized who it was and that he was trying to help.
But thank you, anyway. -
...
I said I was going back on duty, but the truth is, I'm exhausted and the thought of trying to hold a conversation with anyone just feels like too much. I even canceled going to that pottery class with Adrijana. All i want to do is sleep, and I can't sleep ( Read more... ) -
A moment's peace.
I didn't get leave, and didn't expect it - actually some of us are doing doubles. We have two new engineers - one with a heavy Russian accent, I'm not sure, but she might actually be in my department - and an Andorian who works under Indra.
I managed to finally sneak off during my lunch hour for some synthetic peace and quiet. I loaded up the ( Read more... ) -
the empty spaces
Hard to describe the kind of mood I've been in, lately. Introspective? Or just antisocial? Depends upon who you ask, I guess.
I haven't felt like this in some time; usually there are things that cheer me up that work, without fail. And certain things that keep me from going there to begin with... such as not staying up late and dwelling on ( Read more... )
