weekend update; pegg on trek
Mar. 17th, 2008 12:03 amFriday
After work, I puttered around town a bit. Went to Peter Harris and bought some cool boots and a shirt for $15.
Headed to
katkel and
sweetwildandmad's for chattage and whatnot before going to karaoke at the Lucky Strike bowling Alley. Good times! I have some photos and videos I took that I need to send on to the proper people...
Saturday
Spent all day at
queenmaab's working on costuming things. I have traded her season 1 & 2 of Dead Like Me for a River costume XD Kori came over, as well, and we had one big crafting day. Got a lot of stuff done -- beaded sleeves for the Mirror Queen, wire wrapped pieces for the Black Swan, and started on the Mirror Queen's belt. We also did a wee photo shoot of QM in her Harry Potter costume and if she ever posts them, I'll link the photos here.
Originally we had planned on watching Buffy and Firefly during the day, but ended up watching both series of Spaced. Seriously, I do not get tired of that show. I love it so much.
On a related note: Apparently, Simon Pegg name dropped Star Trek: New Voyages in a recent interview.
That was kind of cool, but I anticipate the reaction of certain fans to be... non-existent. In fact, the post has been hit nearly a hundred times on a certain forum where people are known to react to anything and only garnered 2 replies, one of which was mine (it basically said, "frak you all, you bunch of naysayers. Peggster FTW!). I just can't help think that these people, many of whom were strongly opposed to Pegg as Scotty (as I recall, someone said that he couldn't play Scotty because he was British... wtf??), are just sitting quietly eating their tinfoil hats and pretending that didn't have a problem with him.
Gorram Trekkies.
Sunday
Uhm. Got up really late. Played with mineral makeup (see previous post for reviews). Cleaned up the large pile of mail/paperwork on my floor.
Watched this really ridiculous movie on SciFi Channel - Cursed. Hellloooo random actors. Starred Christina Ricci and Jashua Jackson, plus appearances from Portia de Rossi, Mya, Shannon Elizabeth, Milo Ventimiglia, Judy Greer, and Michael Rosenbaum, plus Craig Kilborn and Scott Baio playing themselves. Actually, it wasn't really that bad... I even kinda liked it.
I meant to do my taxes, but after dinner, I ended up playing Super Smash Brothers which I am completely horrible at. Seriously. I suck and
seijitataki kicked my ass every single time. Lamecakes.
