I'm a super geek.

TNG runs on our Space channel every day at noon, 6pm and 3am. I generally catch the ep they're running at least once a day, even if it's just background noise.

So I just flipped to Space and saw the bridge was dark, and Riker was shouting something, and then I heard Beverly say "Casualty reports coming in from all over the ship!" and I was like "OMG IT'S CAUSE AND EFFECT!!!!!!"

Which is, you know, one of my favourite episodes of TNG ever.

I don't suppose I have to have a spoiler cut for a show whose run ended nearly 14 years ago, right? :)

According to Wikipedia, that episode first aired March 23, 1992, which means it aired in syndication for me on March 28th, a Saturday night. I remember the night so well. I was downstairs in the basement at my parents' house and was watching the teaser and the teaser ended with the Enterprise blowing up.

Then, the dreaded words:

"Time for dinner!"

I raced upstairs. "Oh my God, Mom, Dad, the ... okay, you know how I watch Star Trek, right? Well the ship, the Enterprise, just blew up! Can I PLEASE eat dinner downstairs? PLEASE? I have to find out what happens!!!"

They kind of chuckled and let me have dinner downstairs. I ran up during each commercial break to let them know what was happening, as if they actually cared, but they totally indulged me. I was so excited and involved in the show by this point. Oh, if I only knew how much more involved I would get. ;)

Anyways, it's one of the only episodes of TNG I remember seeing during the original run of the show, and it's a delightful memory.

Thought I'd share. :)

I just cleaned out a ton of voice mails, and resaved a few.

Among the deleted:
- creditors wanting money (as I have paid them since getting asked for money).
- a couple old messages I don't even listen to anymore when I save them.

Among the saved:
- my friend M's message from July 5th, 2004, when she gave birth to her baby boy.
- [livejournal.com profile] drsnicket calling to say she is now a permanent resident of the "Estados Unidos".
- my brother's birthday message from 2004 saying "Happy biiiiirthday. I don't know what to get you. Not at all. No idea. So, uh... you're getting nothing. Okay, call me back, bye."
- my lush yelling at me for letting him "stay up and drink... uh... continuously."
- some of the cuter messages from JB.

Work was hell today. Seriously. It sucked. Except that I got listened to and my objectivity scores are staying at a decent level (YAY FOR NOT INFLUENCING THE RESPONDENTS! :D), which means I am that much closer to getting out of training and getting a raise of 25 cents/hour. Whee.

Oh, and we got let off 15 minutes early tonight. :D I don't know why.

OH, and my shift might be cancelled for Monday. I am crossing my fingers that it is. While the <does math> $36 would be nice, I REALLY don't want to do that survey again for another four hours and fifteen minutes tomorrow night. It SUCKED. And any of you who don't live in Quebec are spared my rambling French about credit cards, reward cards, debit/Interac cards and Canadian Tire financial services. (I had no idea Canadian Tire had financial services apart from the Canadian Tire money. WTF.)

Americans, have a great fourth of July. I loved being down in DC for it. Nothing in the world is like being at the Lincoln Memorial on July 4th when they set off the fireworks. Happy Independence Day. :)

I find it odd that England/Great Britain doesn't HAVE an independence day like the US or like Canada. Why don't they celebrate the Roman legions being pulled back home in the 5th century? Or the arrival of the Angles and the Saxons and the Jutes? (I love Wikipedia.) Just a thought.

I still miss JB and, therefore, am lame.
