I told someone today, in all seriousness, that the reason Photon Torpedoes make Really Big Bangs is that the explosive charge is Illudium Q-36, a mineral found only on Mars. This will doubtless come in very handy for his writing endeavors. Bwah-ha-ha!

You want it, you can play it. True, multi-platform goodness. Star Wars and LEGOs, the two universals. I picked one up today for the XBox. It’sContinue reading “On LEGO Star Wars II”
On the Interview
The job interview was basically what I’d thought it would be — a long-ish interview with a high-class job placement/HR outsourcing firm. I wasn’t expecting a two-hour long test of my Word, Excel, and Powerpoint skills. (Powerpoint skills? What Powerpoint skills? Does anyone have Powerpoint skills? I mean, I can put together something that looksContinue reading “On the Interview”
On an Upcoming Interview
I had a phone call today regarding a job interview. Tomorrow afternoon. 3:30. Now, if only I could remember what it was that I’d applied for with this company. Hmm, I would have submitted this one through CareerBuilder.com, so I can probably locate the position in about half an hour. Actually, it looks like someContinue reading “On an Upcoming Interview”

On Edge
Today my grandmother has been on edge. Typically she takes one, sometimes two naps during the day — one during the morning, one during the afternoon and early evening. Not today, though. She’s been too agitated today. So she’s spent the afternoon rearranging the kitchen cabinets. The reason? I was installing a new phone lineContinue reading “On Edge”
On Saint Cedd
Last night I started pondering “Shada,” the Doctor Who serial written by Douglas Adams during Tom Baker’s era that went unfinished (due to industrial strikes) and was later remade as an audio drama with Paul McGann. In the course of the story the Doctor and Romana go to visit Professor Chronotis, who keeps rooms atContinue reading “On Saint Cedd”
On Checking the Mail
Y’know, I think she likes me, too. 😉
On All Those Years Ago
It was forty years ago today Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play…. Well, not quite. But it was forty years ago today, on September 8th, 1966, that Star Trek debuted on NBC. Celebrate in style! Put in a DVD, watch a movie or your favorite episode. Read a book–might I recommend Constellations, a bookContinue reading “On All Those Years Ago”
On Political Persuasions
Stolen shamelessly from Ross, my political persuasion! You Are a New School Democrat You like partying and politics – and are likely to be young and affluent. You’re less religious, traditional, and uptight than most Democrats. Smoking pot, homosexuality, and gambling are all okay in your book. You prefer that the government help people takeContinue reading “On Political Persuasions”
