catchin' up

1. Zach bought Noah a purple bed. <3

2. Thanks to everyone who responded to and commented on my recent poll :-D Or, I should say, thanks to most of you. Note: To anyone who answered 4 or 5, if I end up getting that picture as a Christmas gift, you will FEEL MY WRATH. ;-) Dan found that drawing online somehow and was like "OH MY GOD, THIS LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE HIM!" and I was just in disbelief, like "WHAT THE FUCK, THAT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LIKE HIM!! THAT LOOKS LIKE A DRUNK HOBO!" and he's like "WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF I GOT THIS FOR YOU AS A PRESENT?" and I'm like "I WOULD CRY." The "artist" did drawings like that of a whole bunch of celebrities....I'm still not quite getting over the fact that he charges (and possibly makes) money off of them. I was under the impression that actual artistic talent was required for that sort of thing. Sigh. Missed opportunity.

3. Dan went by his mom's house and hit the jackpot on Star Trek: The Next Generation action figures from his childhood. Seriously, he has like every single character and all of the accessories and he brought them home so now I have them, wheeeeeee! Pictures to come, eventually :-D

4. Speaking of Star Trek, we've been taking full advantage of the new Netflix availability. We started watching TOS but then got distracted by watching ALL of Enterprise and OMG - I love it! For some reason, I didn't think I would but... ♥♥♥♥♥♥ I love all of the characters!!! Except Trip. Sorry. But I even love T'Pol and I totally thought she would annoy me but ♥♥♥♥♥♥! I'm dying for her to get with Archer though. I've only watched about a quarter of the episodes, while Dan's been watching the entire series...we're up to like episode 80 now.

Enterprise fic recs? Anyone? Like I said, I love them all, except Trip, he annoys me, but maybe it would be okay in fic since I wouldn't have to listen to his voice. But srsly, you guys...I'd even read het for this show. And that's saying something.

I'm looking forward to getting back to TOS though. I'll keep you updated with my thoughts and observations along the way!

5. Fic update - posted my trekrpfexchange fic - I'll repost it here soon. From this point forward - no more challenges/exchanges/charities/birthdays etc until I finish my long-ass, kind of fucked up, Help Queensland fic and then a bunch of other fics that I'm aching to write. Life is insane, so this might take awhile.

6. Speaking of life - next weekend I'm heading up to Montreal for a long weekend with my family. Dan's staying home with the dogs. Then a little while after that we're off to Belize for a week. It's only been 2 years since our last trip, but I'm so freaking excited to go back to Central America. My heart is happy.

You like Enterprise!!! I really felt it's never gotten a fair shake. The last season was really good. The Terra Prime episodes are really good, but my fave has to be the Enterprise MU. You will not believe it. And be patient with Trip. He'll grow on you as the show progresses.

A word of caution...Beware the Finale. *I still cringe when I think if it*

I can't wait to read your new fics and I loved Noah's new bed. It's purple!

Well, Dan has the summer off so he watches them when I'm at work and I just watch whichever ones he's on, so I won't end up seeing all of the episodes...oh well...guess I'll have more to come back to in the future that way ;-)

Damn, I was thinking about the approaching finale recently and I was like "I'm sure it will be something awesome and fitting for Star Trek." But apparently not...

Hurray! for being married to a fellow Star Trek afficionado. My husband is one too. We have Enterprise and Bird of Prey models all over the bedroom and I don't mind one bit. I'm looking forward to the TNG pictures. =)

Yeah, I was pretty impressed...and here I've thought he's just been supporting my Trek habit all this time ;-) He doesn't know what happened to his model of the Enterprise though :-(

My son and I are making our way through TOS. We're still on season one. My son thinks it's great :) I get excited every time you mention the QLD flood fic :D) Woohoo! Hope you have a wonderful break :)

NETFLIX IS THE SHIT. Jay and I have been watching Voyager. It's his first time seeing it (I've seen the series too many times over). We plan on watching TNG too - not too sure about Enterprise. I'm a Trip fan :D. I'll never forget hanging out with Dominic Keating (Lt. Reed) at a bar last year! I miss that show. I would have fic recs, but they all involve Trip and het!

Have fun in Montreal!

YAY EPIC ST REWATCHES! We'll probably watch Voyager after TOS, although I think I've watched most of Voyager more recently, too. Kinda looking forward to when they release Deep Space Nine in October...

And OMG, I remembered your story about Dominic Keating and I'm now even more jealous than I was before! I love him! He's so British!

I think I could handle slash with Trip or het with anyone else, ha ha ;-)

i keep reading about tos being on netflix and it's making me crave to see it (we dont get it here yet) so i'm jealous. I've always been rather fond of film era Shat but until just recently the tos one made me cringe for some reason. I'm over that now so am dying to see it again, particularly as it would be the first time from a slasher's perspective.

btw I love your life and want it (and want to be you too, if that doesn't sound too creepy!) Hope you have a brilliant time on your trips :D

I'll have to write up my thoughts on early TOS in a separate post, because most of the time I'm just like "WTF?" ;-) In the best way, of course...

You are too sweet, bb :-) Thank you thank you <3
