I spent yesterday doing mostly nothing...well, we did watch some Star Trek original. It's the silliest series I've ever seen (with Robin Hood second and Lark Rise third), but I love the concept and some of the episodes are actually quite good. The characters are pretty good, too (except when they suffer from soap-opera "character development"). One of my favorite parts is whenever they start talking really techy and I don't know what they're talking about but it sounds cool.
Maybe I'm weird, but I always love hearing professionals converse with lots of terminology. Eye doctors, mathematicians, computer experts, etc... It just makes me happy to hear people who are smart, know what they're talking about inside-out, and use the English language intelligently.
Anyway, having got Star Trek on the brain, I've decided to try replicating the uniforms for 11 1/2" dolls (Barbie and Ken doll size). They won't be exactly the same by any means... The biggest problem will be trying to make Star Trek badges/pins on that scale.
In other fascinating news, I also have a persuasive essay to write this week. I'm resolved to write at least one page of it today, if not the whole thing. Once I get into it, I can be pretty verbose...it's just getting myself to start writing that's the difficult part.
I'm a terribly slow writer. I guess I ought to do NaNoWriMo one of these years...probably would be good for me. I actually have an idea for a novel, as well as an idea for a novel rewrite. However, I can't see myself writing 1600 words every day. Besides, even when I do make myself write every day (and I've tried!), it doesn't turn out too good... Still sounds like a fun event, though--good luck to everyone joining it this year! :)
