Oh, man. We've been watching a bunch of star trek lately, and then the other night we watched The Undiscovered Country and Generations. Generations never fails to make me sad. Not because Kirk dies, but because he does so alone. Even though he said he would. It's one of the things I really dislike about Star Trek canon, that Spock leaves Jim to go work with the Romulans. And... I have it mapped out in my head how it would have gone. It was something Spock needed to do, and he couldn't just put it off. But it's no wonder Kirk felt useless near the end. Useless and alone. It's just sad. It's never said, but I like to think he and Bones hang out a lot, because that makes it sort of okay again.
And I always forget how much fun VI is for some reason. We watched it with the rule that you had to call out every time there was a Cold War reference. It happened a lot. Also, seriously, theirloveissocanon that when Spock volunteers Kirk for the mission and Kirk snaps at him, I said, "Spock's totally sleeping on the couch tonight," and the rest of the room, three guys, all laughed and agreed immediately without even blinking. I think I even made one more joke about Spock being mad about Kirk sleeping with the space ho, and everyone agreed again. They are so married.
Spock is adorable in that movie, by the way. Everyone is, really, which is why I like it so much. Although Spock is clearly post-dead Spock. He slaps a gun out of Valeris' hand, and then mind-rapes her. He's like the new Dumbledore, except he's still pretty groovy. Except for the mind rape thing, that was pretty uncool of him, but he was under a lot of pressure, and he felt like he needed to make up for getting everybody in trouble to begin with. Which doesn't excuse him, but for Spock, he was pretty confused and troubled.
I'm also working on a Star Trek story now that I kind of like, inspired by the new movie, sort of, though really it has almost nothing to do with it at all. But I like it so far. I'm not sure if the two parts it's in really jive, is the one thing. We'll see when it's done.
So tonight we went out to a bar and there was this dude playing all kinds of awesome music on the piano, from Green Day to Billy Joel to Journey to Sublime to Buckcherry. And oh man. It was me and Bridget and Jay and BJ and Adam, and while everyone was awesome tonight, the last week has really highlighted how much I am going to miss Adam and BJ. I didn't spend nearly as much time with Adam this summer as I would have liked, and I just want to take him home to Mac with me and introduce him to all my friends there and keep him around to be awesome fun. And BJ has been way cool, and I've spent a ton of time with him, but same deal, want to take him home with me.
Man, I better see these kids again some day. It's just great when you're stuck into some kind of group with people, and then you all form a great team anyway. This summer has worked out really well in terms of personalities, and I'm glad I met everybody, I'll miss most of them, and I'll really regret saying goodbye to a few.
My paper is pretty much done, and my poster is mostly done. Tomorrow morning, I will finish the poster, and then pack and clean like mad for the rest of the day. At some point, I will have to say goodbye. Don't wanna. But then I get to see everyone back home, which will also be awesome. Oh, life.
