This is a photocopy of one of the pages. You choose what you do, by turning to a particular page. Curiously the story is what you make of it. You can choose to encounter a robot, or an ancient Vulcan The story happens just after... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088170/ Which strictly speaking doesn't make sense. As Kirk mutinies to save Spock. So he isn't an Admiral any more. There is also a civil war on Vulcan, which is an interesting side story I used to read these books. They were big in the 1980s. I think I have mentioned there before here. I remember the Usbourne Choose your own adventure books. On and the fighting fantasty series. I remember one of the stories had a brasilian heroine. As well as England playing the USA at football in a world cup of Australia. One of our more fashionable school teachers let us, do reports on them A bit of Industrial archaeology for Star Trek Fandom

The warmth from the sock drained the fluid from my eye. I made a full recovery The black thing is my laptop battery

Valentines vomit

Worst Valentines day gift ever!!!!!! On Sunday night.(14/2/2010) I ordered a pizza. I do this maybe once a year. A bit of a treat. ]It was a hot and spicy pizza. I had it with some cranberry juice. I have been trying to cut out carbonated drinks, for this month. I am also off the booze. Anyway I spent Valentines day quite happily chatting with my friends. I went to bed a bit restless, but otherwise fine.. I had some weird dreams, but the regular readers of my blog. (Plano Texas, please say hi, your probably in the Texas area and that is just the ISP hometown) Know this is not something new for me. One was about a girl at work I had  trapped wind. So I got up and walked around my room I opened the window in my room.  I looked out at the people in the housing across the street. One of my neighbors still seems to have a Christmas tree up ! The intestinal gas disperses of its own accord. I figure the pizza had just been sitting on my stomach. I go back to bed. Then I have to g...

Fragile X news

Image
Study reveals common bond of children who hate to be hugged Study offers hope for fragile X children (PhotoAlto / Getty) Fragile X syndrome is thought to have a significant overlap with autism Melanie Reid RECOMMEND? A genetic defect that causes children to dislike being hugged and sometimes reject all physical affection is closer to being understood following research into the sensory part of the brain. Scientists at Northwestern University, Illinois, and the University of Edinburgh explored fragile X syndrome — a genetic condition associated with an extreme hypersensitivity to sounds, touch, smells and visual stimuli that can result in social withdrawal, hyperarousal or anxiety. Some sufferers are even hypersensitive to material on their skin. The scientists found that critical phases in the brain’s development may be mistimed in people with the condition. This may result in inappropriate communication between brain c...

Since Tuesday, I have had a mild eye infection. I have been milking sympathy for it, for the past few days. I get it from time, to time. I used to get it more often in High school. Where I had my hair long I think about sporting an eye patch. However I remember Granniog noting it was favoured by unpleasant politico's in her home country. If I do lose my eye. I will ask to be called old one eye. Basing my look on Martog from Ds9

09.02.2010

One of those days I have a bad eye. I almost had a heart attack, as the anti fraud people called me today. I had paid money to skype. Which the bank distrusts. My internet connection is spotty. I got into an argument yesterday and I don't want to back down. Its turned colder. We were understaffed at work. The Eurozone is in crisis. I had to send money to my brother. I miss Valya.

Another ladies night

Ohh to be young again... From today's New York times.. ANOTHER ladies’ night, not by choice. After midnight on a rainy night last week in Chapel Hill, N.C., a large group of sorority women at the University of North Carolina squeezed into the corner booth of a gritty basement bar. Bathed in a neon glow, they splashed beer from pitchers, traded jokes and belted out lyrics to a Taylor Swift heartache anthem thundering overhead. As a night out, it had everything — except guys. “This is so typical, like all nights, 10 out of 10,” said Kate Andrew, a senior from Albemarle, N.C. The experience has grown tiresome: they slip on tight-fitting tops, hair sculpted, makeup just so, all for the benefit of one another, Ms. Andrew said, “because there are no guys.” North Carolina, with a student body that is nearly 60 percent female, is just one of many large universities that at times feel eerily like women’s colleges. Women have represented about 57 percent of enrollments at American colleges...

Youth in Revolt

Youth in Revolt! There are minor spoilers in this review Michael Cera is always watchable. In this film he plays a duel role. Nick Twisp , and Francois Dillinger. Dillinger is the alter ego, of Twisp. The bad boy to win the girls heart. Cera actually injects some danger in Dillinger. Despite him looking somewhat fey. The same is somewhat true about Trey. I kept being reminded of that kid on Glee It starts off quite interesting. Cera , is self centered teenage virgin. In some ways this film  mirrors Juno. Cera plays a teenage geek/loser quite well. There is the discussion about Counter rotational friction, as an aid to masturbation. Unlike the Heroine of Juno, Cera is passive. The girl makes the first move.  He cannot find words when they first meet. The girl thinks he is stuck up. As the film progresses and he grows in confidence the self analysis vanishes. Its quite a talky film. Nick, and his beau are quite a cute couple. She is exploring her power. Playing with ...

Song for the day

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIlsRsMMJUc ``I would do anything for love, but I won't do that'' My sister got me this for Christmas 1993. I would have been in high school. Second or third year. My sister hates the song. I used to play it over and over. I didn't realise the video was so sexual. The girl on girl action, was cut out from the versions that I saw. Its a classic power ballad. It's how I saw myself as a teen. An ugly freak, hiding from the light. I was quite shy, and had terrible self esteem. So the song's video struck a cord with me I used to listen to it on my cheap off brand walkman. The B side, was an instrumental piece back into hell. I have not thought about the song for ages
