Star Trek & Irrigation

[saifai]

Had another class tonight. This time we learned about irrigation. Not entirely as uninteresting as it sounds. Too bad I won't have a lawn to use all these things I'm learning about. I'm moving out at the end of next month.

Don't know yet where we're going. If hifalutin_eagle's business thing goes through, we'll buy a house somewhere in the valley. If not, then we'll just get a little condo or something. More on that soon.

I've finally made a decision about the next sci-fi show to feature at Saifai.co.uk. I've been giving some thought to which I want to do now that Angel is endng. Because it's a current show, it's been hard for me to add any other shows at this time since there's always something new to update. And I'm always behind. Anyway, once I'm all caught up with everything (which since I'm moving looks like I'll have to put off any major updates until after the summer is over), I'll be adding in the Star Trek series.

I met a lady here (well actually, hifalutin_eagle met her and directed her my way) that's a trekker. I got a lecture about trekkie vs. trekker. She's a trekker. She's the head cheese of trekkers. Anyway, she's got me convinced that's the next major installment I need to add to the site.

Raise your Spock ears if you agree...

Oh, and on that sci-fi note, considering the name of my journal (which in case you haven't figured out by now is a funky spelling of sci-fi) I added "alien eyes" to my icon. Hubby says he liked the evil blue eyes better, but I figured these were more appropriate. Comments?

My mom was a big fan too, so I guess I could say it's been a part of my pop-culture life too.

Heh. The difference between Trekkie and Trekker? I'm with you in that I've always said the former because it sounds better, but I guess there is a difference. The woman is a fanatic, in the true sense of the word. Anyway, she says that a Trekkie is someone who enjoys the series a great deal and may even attend conventions, but they're not crazy people. She says that Trekkers are just insane, and speak to each other using conversational Klingon. More than likely they'll also have a selection of costumes (at least one original) in their closets as well.

I've got to see this woman's house.

So there is a clarification! lol! Well, in that case I'm definitely a Trekkie. Because I can't say I've ever owned a costume and the extent of my klingon is...well...I think I may have once upon a time knew a word or two. I was never an uber-crazy Trek fan. Just someone who really enjoyed the show, and counts it as a favorite.
