Quote of the day + other stuff

...de Lancie could read a calculus textbook and make it sound sexual

How true, how true...

This was quoted from here, an amazing essay about Picard/Q. I know, the thing is effing long, but it explores the whole thing in an awesome way, complete with quotes from the actors themselves.

This is prolly my fave example: Patrick Stewart after being told that some fans consider Q as being gay:

"I did. Again, I would say this was an impression given you entirely bythe quality of the performances rather than by anything that wasdeliberately placed in the script. [Laughs.] John [de Lancey [sic]],whose work was brilliant on the show, had a kind of boldness about him,a way of looking at Picard that was provocative."

My point EXACTLY.

In other news: Am currently in the middle of a three-part John-centered Star Trek-related series of articles for |~fuwa fuwa~|.
Part one was about the non-existance of gay characters in the franchise and especially the still very obvious Picard/Q subtext.
Parts two and three will be about the "Spock VS Q" audio plays and "Star Trek:Borg", respectively.
What fun it is to rant and rave about that stuff in two different languages ^___^

The company yamasagi works for bought used IBM T22 laptops. He got one, too. The T22 is exactly the same as my T21 apart from the CPU which is 100 MHz faster. He named the thing "Ni-juu-ni" (Twentytwo). Very original indeed ;)
