- i've been thinking lately the big divide in klingon culture is honor and glory. they're not exclusive but they do conflict at times and the divide is in which of the two a klingon values more. worf's obviously way big on "duty and honor". the guys who love romulans are big on glory.
- "this tennis ball has a gold fringe, which means we are playing admiralty fetch"

- i don't know how many times i need to say this: *delaware is not a real state* it is a fictitious place. it is a fraudulent assertion of the united states federal government. it is a fake idea. like, come on. there's no fuckin' way. "delaware" yeah, sure, whatever.
- didn't know Char had a guest spot on South Park
- tried to add music to my iphone for the first time. dogshit experience. it keeps trying to create an album for every track (YES the tracks all have the same album tag). now i'm digging out my old android phone to use for music. long-term i might check the local pawn shops to see if they have ipods

- I know this is a grognardy gripe, but I'm grumpy with how modern Trek increasingly treats warp drive as being just like Star Wars hyperdrive. And I get that VFX is its own shitshow of dysfunction and exploitation, but come *on* please don't just rip off the starstreaks coming out of lightspeed.
- this one dream i had, there was a filesystem being graphically represented and someone was all "and here are where the mouse drivers live" and it was a little house and the garage door opened and a little car with a little mouse wearing clothes drove out
- remember the worms games? where you played a bunch of little earthworms shooting bazookas and missiles and exploding sheep at each other? those cute murderous lumps of pink flesh? isn't it heartworming that some of those got the call to be on the cast of Bob's Burgers
