God damn it. Quit sneaking posts in.

It was a LDK T-120.

Ah, the cheapo. Well, it worked fine here.

I thought the 8 hr. one would be worse, since it tends to work best in SP rather than EP.

ARGH! STOP THAT!

And I’m almost always in some combination of the seven so what is there to aspire to?

…and just to make sure, I did use ascribe right there, right?

You totally missed a grammar nit opportunity in one of my former posts. Ha! You’re losing your touch!

The first “right” should be “correctly.”

I will let the preposition “to” slide by because it’s okay to use one at the end of a sentence if changing it would have made it awkward.  
Yelling? I’ve done it to NCB more times than either of us could count.

Another ENT double header this coming week! “Proving Ground” and “Strategem.”

“Damage” is supposed to turn up on April 21.

That wasn’t the one I was referring to either.

Unless you’re Nirvana, “never mind” is a two-word phrase.

I never saw these posts last night. What gives?

Anyway, I watched Century City and didn’t care for it much. It looked way too goofy and all the “futuristic” things annoyed me. Transparent plastic paper? A minute of dialogue to remind us that it’s the future and they have pitless cherries? Bleh. I might watch a few more episodes to see if it gets better but I don’t have much hope for it.

I didn’t bother with the second ep. of Century City. It’s gimmicky and it clearly won’t last.

No new eps lately, so no tapes. I may have to run those cheapos forward a bit before I start taping. Sometimes they don’t really clear up until they’re somewhere past the beginning.

Whatever happened to Line of Fire on ABC? That was better. David Paymer scared the crap outta me.

Today I saw Dominic Keating’s naked ass.  
Really. I was geeking away at a convention and he sneaked into Connor Trinneer’s autograph line, mooned him and made him sign his British butt.

It was fuckin’ hilarious.  
I just wanted to share.

So long as it wasn’t Linda Park’s. Then I’d have to kill you.

Okay, here’s a list of all the people I saw:

In the all day autographing room: Matt Winston/Crewman Daniels, with whom I had my photo taken; got an autographed pic as well; he’s a very friendly fellow. Said he wanted to wear an Enterprise J uniform in “Azati Prime” but they had no time to make one so he had to wear the “S & M” outfit instead.

Gary Lockwood

Randy Oglesby (Degra)

Scott MacDonald (Tosk; Xindi Reptilian)

the guy who played the Gorn

the gal who played Yeoman Martha Landon

Natalia Nogulich (TNG’s Admiral Necheyev)

Jeanette Goldstein (Aliens’ butt kicking commando soldier girl)

The guy who played the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld (don’t ask me what he was doing at a sci fi con)

In the Annex:  
Wil Wheaton (I only shook his hand. Calm down. Get over it.)

Kenny Baker/R2-D2

Max Grodenchik (Rom)

onstage:  
Brent Spiner–fun as always

Amanda Tapping and Michael Shanks from Stargate (I don’t really watch it but they seemed quite entertaining)

walking around: the guy who plays Lex Luthor on Smallville

in the Little theatre:  
I don’t buy autograph tickets, but I sat and watched Connor Trinneer sign for well over 150 ticket holders. Took pics, then realized Dominic Keating had sneaked into the line. Got a pic of him there–he had a beer and kept his back to the table so CT wouldn’t see him. Got a pic of CT signing his bum. Unfortunately, the butt wasn’t facing us so I couldn’t get a skin shot. Got another pic of Dom walking off happily. CT had said “You’re terrible” but he clearly thought it was funny.  
The organizers were rushing the whole thing and trying to whisk CT away, but he stayed to let folks take photos with him even though he was obviously tired. If I’d been better prepared and a bit faster…Oh well. I did get some decent pics of him. Just not with me.

Onstage later:  
Saw CT, DK and Anthony M. answering questions. They were funny and they don’t sound very much like their characters. DK has the habit of bursting into the show’s theme song at random intervals and for no discernible reason. I think he’s just insane, though in a good way.

Got a couple of action figures, a free magazine, a Kill Bill Vol. 2 poster–free, some Thunderbirds stuff for my brudda, and I have some extra programs if anybody wants one.

If you can’t wait, I can give you some extra damage in the mean time. Cheap!

I want one!  
BTW, I never disliked Wil, it was Wesley.  
YOU SAW GARY LOCKWOOD!? He hasn’t been at a convention in parsecs!

Catch my intentional goof, and you get a free extra year in the afterlife of your choice.

Man, these people hold onto their fifteen minutes forever, don’t they?

I was given the chance to go to a convention once but I was like fourteen at the time and would have had to have gone alone to see no one I was particularly interested in meeting (Ethan Phillips) so I took the money given to me for the ticket and bought my mom a present instead.

I was such a dweeb.

I want to go to one now.
