jessikastSo, I saw the Star Trek movie (the day it came out here, in the Gold Lounge, it was AWESOME) and loved it and though the casting, general look, EVERYTHING was wonderful.
(I mean, there were problems, like Uhura whose competence was all tell-not-show and THAT OTHER THING I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN WTF.)
But!
There are other good things!
A whole new generation of fic writers are finding out what Pon Farr is.
(And getting other things wrong, and I try hard to let it go BUT SOMETIMES I CAN'T OKAY.)
But mostly: shiny, shiny new Kirk/Spock fic! This was my first slash fandom, y'all, and I do a happy little dance every time I read a new fic which manages to bridge the characterisation between old Trek and new Trek and I'm all "Yes! These are my boys!"
Haven't seen much of the green alien penises yet, though. That's disappointing.

Myfanwy has taking to jumping up on me when I'm on my laptop and - since I sit with my legs up on the end of the bed so it's like I'm reclining in my desk chair which can't actually do anything but recline - well, she likes to sit on my shoulder. Which is lovely - I get a warm furry purring thing right next to my ear! Nestled into my neck!
Except the downside is that in order to get into a comfy spot she has to turn around and walk all over my chest which leads to CAT BUTT RIGHT IN MY FACE. Just...world of no.
