It made me go back and watch "The Inner Light" from TNG again because it felt SO close to that.

You can SEE how haunted and weary he looks as he takes the chair at the end

Not true, that's where they live when I upgrade. It becomes their coffin

Like true olds, we're chilling in the VIP lounge at the concert until the bands we came to see are on stage. Where there's comfy chairs, complementary snacks, and no line at the bar

Jen hates it but as soon as the episode is over I immediately go to the episode threads. I saw that comment and now all I want is that entire blooper reel.

It's like Robin Williams' recording sessions for Aladdin...there's so much they couldn't use

Mention of "Purmantee system"

Mention of "Purmantee sandwich" with fries inside sandwich

Primanti Bros sandwich with fries inside sandwich

Okay, who's the Pittsburgh sandwich fan in the #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds writers room? (Not a spoiler!)

Also, Patton Oswalt makes a perfect Vulcan

Thank you I will stick around for that.

Whoever decided that Pikes Peak needed to change in this week's episode...you're a genius. It's perfect.

I can literally hear this being shouted across a table in a pompous tone of voice

Really glad I put my earbuds in this morning. Spotify decided that "Family Reunion" from Blink was the right thing to add to my shuffle queue as my office door is wide open and our EEO manager knocked to talk about a case...

Every year I say no more ornaments...and every year Hallmark brings out something great

Just finished this week's Strange New Worlds and my first thought was "this episode deserves @wilwheaton.net hosting a Ready Room"

Did I borrow some @scalzi.com ebooks from the library that I already read multiple times? Yes.

Did I bring my Kindle to the beach? Yes.

Is the water absolutely freezing leading me to bust out the Kindle and post up a chair? Yep!

Yeah the ST novels are all over the place, there wasn't any attempt at continuity until the mid-2000s. It's called Q-Squared.

I'm so sad they're only getting 5 seasons, but we can call it a 5 year mission

Considering who did the OTHER voice...and this also rolls back to a novel from way back when.

I mean who else could it have been.

Finally got to episode 2 of this season of Strange New Worlds...

THAT CAMEO!!!

The only upside to being back in the office 5 days a week has been working through the Legends audiobook re-recordings from the last few years. I'm midway through I, Jedi now and it's so nice to rediscover these.

So basically the JoJo song

I've been informed by Counsel that while I can call my new office "The Dungeon", it's inappropriate for me to toss a d20 shaped stress ball at visitors and ask them to roll for initiative or (depending on how my day is going) to make a wisdom saving throw

I already grabbed ADTR/Yellowcard tickets for the fall...and now I'm thinking of getting All Time Low tickets too when they drop next week

Did watching the Warped Tour live stream push us to get Simple Plan/Bowling For Soup tickets?

Yes. Yes it did.

I woke up to this news and I am both VERY UNHAPPY as part of the Crew, but happy for her....

Also you are now our rivals. I have spoken

The adrenaline rush when your favorite band announces a fall tour and there's a stop literally at the arena downtown.

Don't you dare take our Captain

24 packages of water balloons laid out on a rug.

Our dog Franklin, a mostly black Havapoo, sniffing the packages of water balloons

We ordered a summer's supply of water balloons to cover our nice and nephew visiting and the annual water fight.

The picture we took to send them looks like we just made a drug bust. We even have a sniffer dog inspecting them for quality control.

If only it were actually Friday....

I guess this makes me...

Pope Bagel VII

You put your ticket deposit in right?

RIGHT???

Went to see Revenge of the Sith in theaters for the 20th Anniversary re-release.

That opening scene still hits, especially on a big screen.

The final 3rd of the movie feels different with all the exposition Filoni has done with his shows. It feels more complete.
