This post has nothing to do with Martha Jones, I just like to remind people that she's awesome.

I think the easiest way to do this is with numbers.

1. I went to Eugene over the weekend for GG's memorial service. It was nice. Small. Just family. My uncle read the eulogy and my dad got up to say a few words. Good closure for everyone. I liked getting to see my extended family. I don't get so see them very often, so while I would have liked it to have been over something not so sad, it was good to see them. I liked hearing everyone's memories of her. She was a pretty awesome lady.

2. I spent all day Monday on the couch watching BBCA On Demand. Despite the fact that I am not a car girl, I found Top Gear to be quite enjoyable. Probably due to my deep love for Jeremy Clarkson. They turned a car into a space shuttle(sort of), what's not to love about that? And their American Road Trip was hilarious and terrifying. OH, and there was Simon Pegg, being adorable and talking about how C3P0 is gay.

3. My new coat did not arrive today. But I did get my writer's strike bracelets. I have about 20 of them, so if you're in the Portland/Vancouver area and want one, let me know. It goes nicely with my Wriststrong bracelet.

4. My mom and I went to the theater today to see The Menagerie. It was fun to watch Star Trek on the big screen. They redid some of the special effects, and they looked really good, but you know.... they redid the special effects. The cheese is part of why I like it so much. My mom and I discussed the fact that Jeffrey Hunter looks so much like Ray Liotta that she's convinced it's his dad.

So that's pretty much my life for the last few days.

New coat! Yay! *doesn't have a slight obsession with coats, nope*

I've only seen Top Gear once, but I really should watch it more often. I, too, don't really care for cars, but the hosts are just too cute.

I love getting new coats. And this one is pretty and blue and I want it to be here! Hopefully it will arrive today. Otherwise I might cry.

The hosts of Top Gear are adorable. I probably would never have watched it, but Jeremy Clarkson is on QI sometimes, and I love him, so I thought I would give it a shot. They really did steal my heart when they tried to turn this car (http://www.3wheelers.com/robin.html) into a space shuttle. *pets adorable car boys*

What's this? They redid the fx for The Menagerie? They showed it in a theater? Where was this? AND WHY WASN'T I TOLD?

They remastered the entire first season and are releasing it on DVD.

They added another night, so if you can get out tomorrow night, you can see it. Assuming there's a participating theater by you, of course. You can find a list of theaters here. (http://www.fathomevents.com/details.aspx?eventid=685)

Fudge. I'm gonna have to wait for the DVD. (I know I'm totally out of Trek fandom, but I mean... I was actually at maybe the FIRST SCREENING EVER of The Menagerie in its original form, at a ST con in New York in, like, 1971 or 1972, maybe? I was about ten. And Gene Roddenberry was the presenter.)
