Star Trek: Enterprise is winding down. They get canceled just as soon as the hot continuity porn kicks in:
The Gorns- Yeah. I *hope* that's foreshadowing, but we've only got four more episodes.
The Deltans- Man, when I was a kid, the Deltans weirded me out. I mean, the first thing Ilia says is "my oath of celebacy is on record." So. I have to look up celibacy. This was when I was 10 yrs old. Agh. (looking at IMDB- wow. I didn't realise Persis Khambatta had passed away.)
The Orions. Green Women. Scantly clad green women. I have *no* idea why they fascinate me like they do.
The Mirror Universe! Next week's previews rock. Evil Archer. Maybe, instead of a dog, he'll have a cat. That way, we'll KNOW he's evil.

This week begins the Azelea Festivel, a botanical celebration of NATO. Really. I mean, could I make something like THAT up? This year's Azelea Queen is from Norway, so there's a sudden influx of Norweigans into Norfolk. Military Norweigans. In Uniform.
Sometimes, life is good.

I need...
I need to get out. My dad and I were talking about Ottawa tonight at dinner- dinner at Crackers, asparagus, chicken with collards, chocalate bread pudding, mmm good eatin'- and it got me feeling... travely.
And the fact that he started off by calling it Ontario instead of Ottawa... I'm like "if *you're* you're going to Ontario, *I'm* going to Ontario." I was even looking at the CNE site last night.
Coincidence?
Probably.

Spent most of the day with Amy, doing our usual run of Trilogy Shop, Planet Music and Barnes and Noble.
I picked up the soundtrack of Creature from the Black Lagoon (magically ringing up at $9.99, despite the $16.99 pricetag on the package and the going price of $28.98 on Amazon)at Planet Music, while B&N had the new issue of Rue Morgue.
Hmm. Douglas Winter once stated "Horror is not a genre like mystery or science fiction or the western . . . Horror is an emotion." I think I'm wacky enough to say "maybe... it's a lifestyle."

Watching Revelations on NBC, an encore of the pilot. The death on the golf course opener is as funny as I'd heared. The score's a little intrusive, but the visuals are pretty. The show itself isn't bad. It's no Millennium. But then, Millennium was Millennium, and Revelations is Revelations, and this is who we are*.
Yeah,. I'm a geek.

Oh. Oh my... Mentally drawing lines between imaginary dots to form theoretical pictures. CNE, last night. Rue Morgue, today. Ontario, Tonight.- The Rue Morgue Festival of Fear is being held at the same time as the CNE.
When I was looking at the CNE site, I didn't even know I'd be seeing Amy today, and by time we got to B&N, I'd gotten so focused on a couple of Warren Ellis comics (Angel Stomp Future and Iron Man #3 at Trilogy- Ellis is in Toronto right now, by the way- ah. I'm just superimposing my own desires over random signals.
Or maybe they're not so random.
Or maybe, I'm insane.

*This was one of the catch phrases of the Millennium Group in the tv show.
