Cool craaaaaap you've acquired/done lately

Just got some homemade mom soup, and I have to brag a little, its simply the best damn soup since the time of Jesus and thats a fact

It’s a well known fact that Jesus, while a stand up guy all around, made terrible soup.

I didn’t think it was that bad. Could’ve used less salt, but it was made using the Dead Sea.

You know not my pain!

I solved it with a thinner strap… for the guitar.

We’ve finally gotten the house WIFI ready and joined the 21st century. I can now use my computer while sitting on the couch. Perhaps more frak parties are in my future. Yeay!

Whoo-hooo! Go Armando!!!

Tonight, I’m hooking up the Wii to the network. I might not be seen again for weeks.

I did all my errands and did not get rained on. Yes in Florida that is a big deal.

Bought a Tent and sleeping bags. Will be “camping” out tonight with my son for is first overnight in a tent. Could be fun…WILL be memorable.

What a great Dad. Enjoy

My car is finally fixed! It’s been in the shop for a week. I’m so glad to finally have my own car instead of borrowing whatever vehicle happens to be at the house.

You are free again. :smiley:

Spouse and I did an awesome hike yesterday (I’m so sore this morning, though) and it was beautiful. And now I’m going to start watching Voyager (never saw it) with my feet up on the couch. An entirely satisfying few days. :slight_smile:

Cas, please post your thots on the series here. Can’t wait to hear what you have to say about the female captain.

When Voyager first aired I remember a heated discussion between a female and male friend. He started with, “What a bitca!” And did a Mulgrew impression.

I could feel the retaliation before it stuck. It began, “Oh! Here we go again. Every time a woman is in a role of authority, she’s a bicta. Feeling threatened?”

It got nasty from there.

I never had a problem with Janeway, just the series. I was always shocked by many male responses though. I wondered about the whole threatened thing. Also many champions of the series were women. I wondered about that as well. Did they just enjoy that there was a woman in charge?

Once Seven of Nine showed up, it opened a whole other can of worms. I found that different from every Star Trek series before it, the biggest issues were not brought up by the show’s content.

That’s awesome! We’ve camped at least once every year. Kids loves it.
We skipped it this year because Mother Nature screwed us so bad with rain last summer. So this year we’ll go on a weekend without reservations —and pick a weekend where we know the weather is good.

Oh, I totally agree with Talos. I can’t wait to hear your thots on the series.
Voyager wasn’t my favorite series, but I did enjoy it and watched it religiously.
I agree the show got it’s stride when Seven of Nine joined that cast.
I liked all the characters pretty much----not Kes and Neelx as much–but I had not a huge objection to them.

I know many will disagree, but in many ways I liked Voyager more than DS9.
DS9 had great characters, stories, arcs etc, but for me Star Trek isn’t really Star Trek without it being about a ship and its captain and crew out there exploring.

I cashed my savings bonds my Aunt bought me when I was born! 28 years of interest! Came out to 6000$$! I can actually afford another semester of college! Woo-Hoo!!!

I just picked up Season 4 of Buffy so that means i can Frak party again without going thru the hassle of splitting my laptop screen.

I just started a new job. It’s been a terribly stressful past 2 months. Finally the dust is settling. Wish me luck.

Sounds great. I’ve been thinking I’d love to do a series re-watch of Voyager or DS9. Have fun and yes, indeed, share your thoughts. :slight_smile:
