Data sings and it’s “Revolutionary”! (A true Trekker would already know this)
Ladies and Gentlemen…Brent Spiner as John Adams. Lovely, isn’t it? I was reading the comments on youtube and so many people were amazed that Brent can sing. (!!) These were not true Trekkers, I’ll say that. A true Trekker would know that life began way before Data. A true Trekker would know Sunday in the…

It’s a little Salty – Like Veruca, not Job’s wife
Encyclopaedia Britannica to end print editions | General Headlines | Comcast I guess we all knew this day would come, didn’t we? Is it the end of an era? Or is it the beginning of the inevitable?

Someone needs to put us out of our misery – “K Stew” is “P Ew”
Kristen Stewart Goes Topless in On the Road Trailer – E! Online. Oh. My. God! Can the world please get over Kristen Stewart?!?! Please?!

From Drama Queen to Comedy Princess – Looking forward to more from Emily
Am I the only person who finds Emily Blunt simply stunning? It can’t possibly be just me. Can it? Perhaps it’s because my TV/Movie watching has had quite the fill of Emily’s work lately – My Summer of Love, Gnomeo and Juliet, The Adjustment Bureau, The Devil Wears Prada, Gulliver’s Travels, The Young Victoria…I’ve seen all…

It’s too warm for wool, so don’t be a sheep (Or, If you don’t do it, I don’t want to hear you complaining)
In a recent blog entry (which you can read here), I listed the things that I would like this site to be. One thing I mentioned is that I would like for it to stay as politically neutral as possible. You see, I believe that political beliefs tend to be far too polarizing and divisive. …
