Kirk, Spock, McCoy and The Rest
That’s right, 42 years ago today Star Trek first showed up on the airwaves, paving the way for Americans of all ages to enjoy hammy acting, cheap sets and more smarm than ever thought possible.
So, if you’re in the Las Vegas area, why not join me tonight at Qua-
Oh, right.
And now I’m sad.
Happy Birthday Federation, now try not to suck too hard in the new movie.
Well, this is some sad shit right here:
According to TrekMovie.com, the future for the Star Trek Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton is rather dark and bleak… Currently, there are no plans to renew the contract, and as such it’ll be gone no later than December 31 of this year… Meaning that, if they do close it, the doors will close for good some time in October.
This is really fucking sad as far as I’m concerned: The Experience is my favorite fucking place in all of Las Vegas. It’s like my second home, and frankly I don’t give a shit how much of a fucking pathetic loser that makes me. I love me some Trek, I love me some folks in costumes, I loves me some Warp Core Breaches, and I loves me some Talaxian Turkey Wraps.
I’ve been going there for the past ten years – I went for the first time shortly after it opened, and I’ve managed to make a trek (heh) to it at least once a year since then, usually far more often than that. I’ve had no end of really good times there, and if it goes a part of me dies.
Yeah, I said it.
*sigh* 
This was a fairly productive week.
I managed to make it to work all four days – and am going to have myself a rather action packed four-day-weekend too!
On Friday I put a bid in on a house (just under $200k), a rather nice four-bedroom monster in North Las Vegas. I’m really hoping that I get it, too…
I know there are those out there who don’t like NLV – or LV at all for that matter – but, to them I can only say “This is my home now, this is where I’m comfortable, this is where I want to live. And, really, it’s a fucking awesome house. I mean, really fucking amazing.”
Played Scene It over at Rich’s place, and won. By a large margin, if I do say so myself…
Did I enjoy it? Hells yes I did! I don’t get to win games very often, so when I do you bet your ass I’m going to treasure every moment of it.
As for the aspects of my personal life… Well, there might actually *be* a personal life soon… Nothing I want to talk about right now, right here, but suffice to say that my reluctance to talk about things is due to the fear of jinxing them.
My life, right now, is pretty good. Could it be better? Sure, of course – but all things considered I’m doing rather well.
Which makes a nice change, if I do say so myself.
