State of the Map, an aggragation of recent events.
Sorry I haven't been posting much, we're looking at apartments right now and preparing to move, so I'm not especially focused on writing journal entries at the moment. I always read my friends list, every day, though, so don't think I've forgotten any of you.

What have I been up to, otherwise?

• Watching a lot of Monty Python on Netflix while I'm cooking. I think that Monty Python is completely to blame for my entire worldview. Taking nothing seriously, contempt for authority, complete silliness, random quotes and blathering, it's all there.
  
  
• I am officially addicted to America's Test Kitchen. I get seriously tetchy when my local PBS station is doing their endless fundraising on Saturdays and they preempt America's Test Kitchen. It's like science and cooking in the same show, two of my favorite things together. I love the unique approach of experimenting to find the best way to prepare food - and since they do it, I don't have to.
  
  
• I keep reading Star Trek XI fic, but I wouldn't say that I'm really into the fandom. I blame sol_se, with all of the those recs. :D I keep having to look at pictures of the new actors, because every now and then my mind flashes to the original series actors and it just freaks me out. I just can't think of William Shatner having sex, at any age, no matter how much I love Denny Crane.
  
  
• Regarding Star Trek XI, I thought the movie was a bit weak, but better than I expected. Though it's not actually his fault, I think that Chris Pine looks too much like Michael Weatherly and I consider MW to be much prettier. Mmmm, Tony DiNozzo. I'm sure someone will consider this opinion blasphemy (gblvr?).
  
  
• I've spent approximately $50 on forensic supplies to use for fun invitations to the CSI Experience at OMSI. I may have pretty much divorced myself from CSI at this point, but I'm still ridiculously excited by this exhibition.
