Tomorrow it’s supposed to be ridiculously cold around here. And of course, I have to run between two or three meetings at different locations. You would think that having lived in the Midwest almost my entire life, I’d be accustomed to Arctic blasts. But I still think they suck. I hate having to go through the whole bother of getting dressed for outside and how it takes a good half hour for sensation to return to my fingertips. When I was a kid, my parents would insist on wrapping my legs in a blanket on days like this. This didn’t go over well once I became a teenager. “No, Mom, not the blankey! Anything but the blankey!”
Rumors are going around the geek sites that Star Trek: Enterprise might be canceled. My reaction? Eh. I like Star Trek as much as the next nerd, but I think the franchise needs to be put to rest for a good long while. I’ve been watching the first couple seasons of Babylon 5 and I think Straczynski was on to something with the idea of a five-year story arc. Genre shows shouldn’t be allowed to go on just for the sake of squeezing every last bit of profit out of them. About the only thing I’ll miss in this series is that hot Vulcan woman. What can I say? Give me a little eye candy in my television and I’m a happy guy.
