"It's a cosmic joke that I'm a lesbian because I understand men so completely and women are a total mystery to me. ... Women are the most confusing, annoying people in the world."
(Lea DeLaria)

ahahahah. she totally LOOKS lesbian, though--i think it's the haircut. link to the post in rightclickchick.

i have to say, though, (goddamn moments of existential crisis!) that even when you 'understand' someone you can't really say they're not a mystery.

'the deadly years'

one of the star trek eps i watched last night was the deadly years, which is exceptionally slashy becasue exceptionally emotionally-charged. this is the one where the whole landing party gets exposed to radiation and starts aging so fast they're due to die in a week. kirk is forgetting everything, and the visiting paper-pusher demands he be relieved of duty; spock has a hissy fit and refuses to take over in his place.

he comes to notify the captain in a sober funk accompanied by the highly determined ex-gf who's been annoying kirk all episode (also me, with the fake boobs and strange makeup and hair, but obviously these are not the things that REALLY matter).

he tells the captain he must relieve him and gets chewed out. sample: 'the first chance you get, you stab me in the back!' somewhat disturbing. the scene ends with them nose to nose, because kirk's walked all the way up to spock's chest and has him backed up against a bit of wall. spock's not moving, only when kirk says

'out!' his eyes are closed and he shakes a little, like he's been slapped.

kirk: 'i never want to have to see you again.' spock turns his face away kind of creakily. not all at once, i mean, and slowly. but he leaves the room without answering anything. he's apparently still very lucid. he doesn't turn around on his way out of the room, but jim turns around almost immediately to watch him go.

(side note: this episode is close to the tholian web, in my mind, in terms of the quality of the acting. it's very intense, although the plot is papery-thin and ridiculous compared to that of TW. also, the effects they use to age shatner and nimoy and de kelley are beyond amusing into painful.)

my new mottoes

'crushed like viggo'*

*where 'like viggo' is understood to mean 'like viggo when reminded of how poetic and painterly his love for orli/angel used to be, before orli tragically died.'

-me to she-who-was-thechaosdiva.

'technology is, like, so annoying.'

-wax.

like OHMIGOD. like TOTALLY.

which purports to be arranged in layers. only the layers don't really peel anything back or anything or seem to have a lot of meaning. i cut most of 'em out.

this is what you get for not watching this season.
