L-L-L-Ladies. TNG behind the scenes? Yes, please. I see you. You can’t hide, nerds. Tasha, you was robbed. Wesley, meet me in my cabin. Klingons like strong women…and yachts. Michael Okuda is just plain badass. Thank you, Accordian Guy.

Ghazal
I am being accused of loving you, that is all It is not an insult, but a praise, that is all My heart is pleased at the words of the accusers O my dearest dear, they say your name, that is all For what I am ridiculed, it is not a crime My heart’s useless playtime, a failed love, that is all I haven’t lost hope, but just a fight, that is all The night of suffering lengthens, but just...

Feelin’ serious Rock Band withdrawal today. I usually pounce on the mic instead of giggling maniacally in the background.

Preach
Terry Glavin grabbed his balls and unleashed great fury in the Post today over Canada’s muddy role in next week’s Afghanistan Conference in London. (Read it. No, really, read it.) High-fives, Terry.

All Else is Unreal
Mmmm. Ssspiritual. After watching In Bruges, and accepting Colin Farrell for the talented piece of greasy-hot that he is, I was finally able to make a date with The New World. Every single frame is breathtaking. I’m re-watching The Thin Red Line next weekend. Terrence Malick, you send me.

The Soundless Sound
He is immeasurable in his light and beyond all thought, and yet he shines smaller than the smallest. Far, far away is he, and yet he is very near, resting in the inmost chamber of the heart.
