I recently did the rewatch of the various Star Treks series...still not sure of my favorite or least..I think I know but I think I mix them up a bit

"Star Trek:  Voyager" picks up much more speed once they finally ditch the Kazon mujahedeen and meet Jeri Ryan with her dominatrix implants.

Something I did for the first time ever today: rented a tux. The guy at the store had to show me how to put the bow tie on, I was attempting to do it wrong and thought it didn't fit.

Formal wear in Hawaii was the Aloha shirt, and I kept the nicest ones with the darkest blues, lushest rainforest greens, and deepest reds for school photos and weddings.  White tabi with my flip-flop rubber slippers meant we were going to greet the visiting Emperor.

I usually just wear suits, Gotta be professional even just going to get a cup of coffee.

If I can get out of wearing a suit, I will.  When I was a teacher in Japan we were required to suit up, with a tie for the opening and closing ceremonies of each semester.  I quickly figured out that I was kind of separate from the Japanese staff and after the first couple semesters I never wore a tie again, although I wore the jacket during their "winter" months.  Now, I could go to work wearing pajamas and no one would care.  Everyone I know who could have possibly invited me to their wedding is long since married or unmarriageable, and my kids are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too small to have to worry about that, so no suits for me for the foreseeable future, praise all the gods in all the heavens.

I will have to rent a tux again next year for my own wedding. Other than that, probably never unless someone else ropes me into being in their wedding party.

Congratulations, Duke! 

 

I ran a mile today with my kids and now I can't feel my legs.

I'm pretty sure that's a sign of a stroke, Did you go on the stroke gameshow?

Or were you just doing the stroke with Doug E Fresh?

Things have really slowed down.

Oh hey my signature picture is gone. I forgot that photobucket broke everything. I'll probably fix that... eventually.

There seems to be a common lifecycle pattern with free hosting sites. They become popular. As a result of their popularity they become unable to cover their expenses on ad revenue alone. So they create a concept of premium membership and start trying to nudge customers into it. Most people don't bite, so they start trying to force people into it if they want to continue using the site. Then, most people abandon the service en masse in favor of some other new site that's popped up and is earlier in its lifecycle. The previous site then fades quickly into irrelevance, possibly outright going under.

It's an endless cycle because no one is willing to pay for the service, but it's difficult to impossible to actually make money without people paying for the service.

Quiet in these parts nowadays, isn't it?

The last time I pulled out my suit I saw that moths had gotten to the pants. I've been getting by on sport coats since. 

I just drove 9200 miles through 25 states and thought I'd check in on ST. I don't think I've been by in almost a year, so hello old friends!

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Welcome back.  That sounds like an epic rode trip, I'm kind of jealous.  Long distance driving is great.

 

The only good thing about my job is that I can basically work in my pajamas.  If I ever move back to Japan and teach again I suppose I'll have to start squeezing myself back into suits.

 

It's almost past my bedtime.  Good night.

I think taking a road trip around the U.S would be a great time.  There's so much to see spread throughout so much land.  I'd love to see the National Parks.  The only one I've been to is Shenandoah.  Now that I've checked off my top domestic destination (Chicago), I don't really have a "that one place" in this country that I'd love to go to.

[Duke87 1,070]

I've done those types of long road trips on multiple occasions. Loads of fun, highly recommend.

Greetings from Myrtle Beach, SC. I actually didn't drive here from NY! But that's because I'm here for work, not pleasure.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

I'm getting a shorter road trip down to my parents' house next weekend.  With the leaves finally changing colors here it's going to be a pretty drive.

WHAT an ending to game one of the ALCS, Yankees down to final strike of being shutout twice in a postseason since 1957 then Byrd hit a bomb off the right field foul pole making the game 2-1, After striking out 13 times, the Yankees became the first team to strike out at least 10 times in 6 straight games in history.

Go Astros been rooting for them since mid season, I've already looking at booking tickets to Houston.

[Mr Saturn64 742]

5903

I wouldn't mind seeing the Astros win the World Series.  After all, they've never done it.  I don't really have a problem with the Dodgers.  I doubt the Cubs really have a chance, but I might like that.  Honestly, with my Phils sucking as hard as they do, my mind is turned to football and hockey.  The Eagles are doing excellently.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

I'm rooting for the Astros.  I want to see Justin Verlander get his ring, and also my cousin lives in Houston and is pulling for them, too.  But mostly I'm rooting for Verlander.

[Larks2242 251]

Come on guys this is sad between this last post i've been to 5 states, 3 countries, got stranded, fell off a cliff, went down a river in a car, nearly drowned and was held hostage for a few days, You guys have got to do better than this.  

[metarvo 710]

In other words, pretty boring.  You've got to get more excitement and adventure, Larks! 

Hey, Spidey, the Astros won!  Sure, they're not my "original" team, but they are after all in my home state, so it's cool.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Verlander got his ring!  I'm happy for him and for the fans in Houston.

 

I'm held hostage every night before our kids go to bed.

No...It's not excitement  I caused lots of damage and have to deal with lawyers wanting a settlement between that and paying for freedom it comes close to 20k, I don't even have a full figure yet,  even worse i've managed to trash my relationship with my best friend and everyone thinks i'm a screw up, I'd be much better off at the bottom of that river right now.

Nothing like some good ole SimCity 4 to take your mind off your troubles. I certainly boot up if I need a distraction for a while.
