Star Trek (2009)

I thought it'd be too hip and new, but since I'm so hip and swivel and new, I liked it. Much faster pacing than older ones, which I thought I might not like, but it worked. I liked Spock(s) best, of course. [WARNING: Possible mini-spoilers ahead]

I am not such a purist that I didn't like that young Spock was gettin' some from the hottest female, young Uhura, who is a "xen0linguist" (studies off-world languages...didn't catch it precisely) ooooh yaaaaaawwwwwwww. James Kirk chased her a bit but then we see her suck face with Spock in the elevator.

I think the writers and director had a good sense of humor without clobbering us too much with the young versions of all the old players: "Bones", Scotty, Chekov, Sulu (who fences and likes White Castle burgers - j/k), etc. And most boss is that Simon Pegg plays Scotty! Man, mah zombie heart just fused with mah Roddenberry one.

SO in pre-attributive position

I have looked at the data for so long that it sounds perfectly fine to me, even if I wouldn't say it myself--SO in the pre-attributive adjective position:

"He is a so cute kid" or "That is a so cool jumper!" (I made those up)

It has been suggested that perhaps this would only be typed out and not expressed orally. I have to keep an ear out for it. I suspect it's already being said in a number of communities, but it will spread and I'll eventually get a few clear examples of it in person.

I still got BS game

I thought I had used up all my "sweet" BS lines back in high school when taking the AP exams and such, but I was wrong. I pulled some of that stuff out for my metaphor paper. I still got game, yo. Sad thing is now in my old(er) age, I kind of believe it.

Last night I presented my "SO" paper at the LGSA Squibfest and Graduation Celebration. That was nice to do. We went out to Zeitgeist afterwards and I intimidated a big bouncer named Ryan. Well, I may have the agent and patient reversed.

Got my squibs bound. It makes you feel really smart. Highly recommended.

I heard this student talking about something from high school...what was it? Something about clothing lines? And he said, "...and if you were the wealth, then you'd have [something]." I didn't catch it all, but it was consistent with things I had found in my research. "That cafe is so the cool beans" and "He is the so sexy oozing man" and "That is so the kawaii" (or something like that) and "he is the so cute"

Duo Diep

Right now I am in a world where I don't remember turning off the kettle but I see evidence that I:

1. certainly turned it on (it is hot)
2. certainly turned it off (the burner is off)

No one else is here, in my room.

I blame this on my Technotronic channel on Pandora.
