Shatner, Get Over Yourself

In the last day or so, all the big entertainment blogs have been posting little tidbits about how William Shatner, aka, Star Trek’s Captain Kirk is upset that he wasn’t invited to fellow Trek alum George Takei’s wedding.
Boo hoo.
George has responded by saying Shatner was issued an invitation but never responded. Either way, I don’t think it matters. It was George’s wedding and both he and his partner Brad made the decisions as to who got to come and who stayed home. So even if Shatner didn’t get invited he should suck it up and just wish George and Brad the best instead of making a huge fuss about it. You’re almost 80 years old man, act like it.

DISCLAIMER: I want to start this post off by stating for the record that I have never read, not do I intend to read, the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyers. Everything I know about the series comes from hearsay, rumor, the internet and most of all Stoney321’s cracktastic reviews of the books, found here. Read more

OMG, SO AWESOME
Like many kids of my generation, I grew up on Sesame Street. The program is only 7 years older than I am, so I was watching very early on. It’s had it’s up and downs, but I like to think it had more ups. I was so pleased to see Liam watching it when he was smaller (and he still does sometimes) and I can’t wait for Sarah to begin watching it.
Sesame Street has always had the coolest musical and celebrity guests. From Stevie Wonder to REM to Paul Simon and Little Richard. It has been a place to expose kids to all things cultural as well as educational. (Plus Savion Glover got his start there. We know where you came from, Savion.)
So as the show is getting ready to roll out it’s 39th season, there are some really awesome highlight reels I would like to share.
And the best one for last, Neil Patrick Harris! Singing! (unfortunatly the embed feature was disabled so I can only link to this one, but it’s well worth it, I promise!)

Comic Con
Ok, so there are lots of people there and I’m semi-reading reports. Here are my reactions to a few things I’ve seen/heard.
Dr. Horrible sequel or Act 4? *FLAIL*
Hugh Jackman making a surprise appearance and bringing clips from the Wolverine movie? *FLAIL*
David Boreanaz doing a Bones panel? *FLAIL*
But….and this is for my SG-1 flisties and especially the J/D fangirls…..
Why did no one tell me that RICK and SHANKS would BE IN THE SAME ROOM TOGETHER? *FLAILFLAILFLAIL*
Where is the squee? Please tell me that you aren’t all miserable over the full on smooch Browder gave Shanks, are you? I wish I had money to build a time machine so I could go to Comic Con and be there for that panel. *sigh*

I should be writing. Really. I have something due on the 8th. I have the idea for it. But I just can’t get motivated to write it for some reason. Bad me.
Instead I’ve spent the last two days reading X-files Mulder/Scully fic. *sigh* And some Iron Man Tony/Pepper for variety.
In in yay news I have my greedy little hands on Series one of the new Dr. Who. I put it (and series two and three) on reserve at the library back in February and it finally made its way to me. Now granted I’ve seen series one twice already thanks to Netflix view instantly, but now I can watch it in surround sound. And all the behind the scenes stuff too. And the library’s website tells me that series two is in transit, so double yay! Now if only they’d get me the first season of Farscape (which I’ve had on reserve since last October).
I’m remembering now why I hated being pregnant in the summer with Liam. It’s hot and sweaty and just generally uncomfortable. Thank god for central air. And when did I become less bendy? I mean I know baby belly and getting older have something to do with it, but I distinctly remember a time when I could touch my toes without a second thought (or without becoming winded). And for about a day there Sarah decided to sit herself on my right side, just below my ribs. It was decidely uncomfortable, not just to lay down on that side, but to sit. And I have 20 more weeks to go.
I keep trying to remember to take a picture of the baby belly, but neither of us can remember where the heck the digital camera is. Once it is found I promise there will be pictures.
Random Liam hugs are awesome.
It’s pretty much a foregone conclusion that Dragon*Con is out of the question this year. Which is a shame cause the guest list is to die for. Fia is not going either. So we’ll mope together. Though I did invite her down here to spend time with us. (And no, it has nothing to do with the fact I need more incentive to clean out the third bedroom/office/nursery). But it would be awesomesauce to have her here so she could meet Liam and Brad and my family (I talk about her often enough) and just generally fangirl.
That’s about all for now.
