That latest LJ news gets me to thinking of when I first joined livejournal and because a bunch of people were moving there from the yahoogroups and it was the shining horizon. It allows you to control your fandom experience with its privacy settings; something very attractive after the drama in the Oz yahoo groups. Then Six Apart screwed up with ( Read more... )

A brilliantly talented actor and director; your characterization of Spock is probably the single factor most responsible for TOS to make the impact that it did. Star Trek has been a presence in my life ever since I watched you and your castmates in 80's reruns. Thank you.

I'm starting the year off in fandom withdrawal due to LoK and Naruto finishing up though Naruto might be better described as a hatedom; its odd to me how so much drama is being vented over shipping, as if the manga had been until the last couple of issues ( Read more... )

To one and all.

Well Sasuke finally got TnJ'd and validated Naruto's messiah complex. Well I would need more time to go into all the ways I thought the manga sucked; for now I'll just I wish that Kishi had written a Star Trek Mirror version of his manga featuring (or just acknoledging) Konoha as a bad place with some redeeming features instead of the land of ( Read more... )

Darn, its been over four months since I last commented. Just been preoccupied with RL most of the time though Korra has been a real treat this year. Too bad nickleodeon doesn't seem to know how to promote this show.

Mary told me to turn off the baby monitor so I could the rest of the morning but it took me a couple of hours to get back to sleep and then the basset hound ( Read more... )

Sorry for spamming my journal with angst. I'm going to have much less leisure time now so at least my friendslist will be spared that. This will be partly because of caring for my mom and also ICD-10 training so I can keep RHIT and CPC credentials even though they frankly haven't seem to have done anything for me once I actually got my job and CPC ( Read more... )

Well tomorrow my sisters say we're going to have a family meeting about Mom. Its been three weeks after her surgery and she keeps making progress but.... in the later day her short term memory goes kaput and her left hand is weak though it is improving and it feels so different from before the operation when she drove anywhere she wanted and cooked ( Read more... )
