...To wrestling with something that infected my computer, that's where.  I had planned to write...instead I spent hours attempting to clean things up before finally giving up, backing up many GBs of files, and then re-installing the OS.  I now have an excellently-functioning computer with NOTHING installed on it.  Blech.

OK.  To keep this from just being a whiny post of whinyness, here is a little something for all y'all from iconomicon  called "Spock's Milkshake":

First thought upon hearing Leonard Nimoy had said this: "What? Is Abrams getting a kid to play the role, too?"

Second thought upon hearing Leonard Nimoy had said this: "Did Abrams watch 'Kindred' and say, 'Well, if two Sylars made the fangirls go wild, what about two Spocks?' "

We have had the weirdest weather this year--it's been like Arizona up here this summer, hot and so dry I just gave up trying to keep the flowers alive.  Then I got up this morning and discovered one of the heaviest fogs I've ever seen in 7 years of living here.  We always get fogs in spring when it warms up over the frozen ground, but this is something else.  The exit ramp from 35W to 94 runs right along the edge of downtown, but I couldn't see a trace of the buildings--I could barely make out the bottom stories of a couple of high rises close to the freeway, and that was it.  Like some supervillain had lifted it up and flown away with it.  (Yes, I did rewatch waydowntown recently...why do you ask?)  

Also one of my friends decided to start my day by emailing me the "rumor" that Shia Leboeuf was being considered for the role of Kirk in the new movie.  Yeah, that was REAL funny.  Ass.
