Somewhere Quiet

Hint:

 

it's green.

I haven't been to the beach much this summer, because it looks like this:

But one good thing about coastal living is that there's always another beach nearby. :) More in the next post!

Would you ever want to be a model? Why or why not?

On a serious level, no way. I'm not really comfortable with the whole industry, and I'm not that in tune with my body anyway. Posing and stuff is not natural to me. ; )

On a superficial level, though...it would be kind of cool! Who doesn't like to have beautiful pictures taken of themselves? Plus, if I were a few inches taller I'd be the ideal body type.

The good news: I'm home safe and sound from my junior year of college.

The bad news: We hit a deer on the way home.

It was pretty gnarly:

 

 

This paper I'm writing on P.G. Wodehouse may suck, but at least I get to use this:

“I shall shortly be telling Uncle Percy things about himself which will do something to his knotted and combined locks which at the moment has slipped my memory.”

 

“Make his knotted and combined locks to part and each particular hair to stand on end like quills upon the fretful porpentine, sir.”

 

“Porpentine?”

 

“Yes, sir.”

 

“That can’t be right. There isn’t such a thing.”

I'm having someone come by your house later; I hope that's okay...

In between my last papers, work, and thinking about all the packing I'll have to do, I've been rediscovering the original Star Trek series. I was inspired by the latest Star Trek movie, which was so good! Have y'all seen it? I thought it was a great mixture of newness and throwback. And hot dudes.

Ahem.

Anyway, it's been a blast. Watching the old show with my dad are some of my favorite memories of my childhood, made all the more powerful by the fact that Spock was my first ever crush. Apparently I've liked 'em pointy-eared and emotionally unavailable for a long time. :-) I still get a big ol' grin on my face hearing that sublime-melting-into-cheesy theme song, seeing those Technicolor uniforms and aliens created out of a $50 budget, and of course the "Space...the final frontier..." that I can recite just as well as the Preamble of the Constitution.

 And they're all on YouTube in their entirety. I just finished watching The Doomsday Machine which involved a planet killer, a dude from To Kill A Mockingbird, and Spock at his poker-faced best.

Littering, long showers, not recycling... What's your biggest pet peeve about the way some people (mis)treat our planet?

Well, I guess I'm "some people", because I do all of those things at one point or another. Sheesh, Cisco, sound more condescending. *rolls eyes*
