NASA discover Spock's planet Vulcan
Space scientists have discovered that the home planet of Star Trek’s Mr Spock may really exist - or at least something very like it. They used a powerful telescope to find evidence for rocky worlds around the very star which his home world Vulcan supposedly orbits in the hit TV and movie series…
Kλιγγόνες!
κλιγγόνες ἑν τὴ γὲφυρα
“Klingons on the bridge”
No joke.
κλιγγών, κλιγγόνος is a masculine third-declension noun.
Best translation of my Ancient Greek education.
Fascinating.
I want a cat. And I will name him Spock.
Or Cato. But that’s my Classical nerdiness and fondness for Pun Farr suggesting.
Note: Star Trek soundtrack by Michael Giacchino— SO GOOD. Why haven’t I raved about this before?
Though the track titles are full of Pun Farr.
Also, Grooveshark.com is greatly appreciated.

If "The Wrath Of Khan" was an Italian Opera
It would be so awesome.
Le Wrath di Khan.
The death of Spock needs to be an amazing hearwrenching romantic tragic aria.
Make it work?
Make it so!!
(Pondering Picard’s and Tim Gunn’s common utterances led to this. I am ridiculously proud of this. Now I’m going to go do my homework.)
I wish I was ἐν οἴνῳ νῦν.
I’m unplugging everything (save for my fridge) in my room, gathering up my things, going to Latin, and then getting on a 3:45 Badger Bus bound for Milwaukee for Thanksgiving weekend. I am so excited. I’m going to get home and in all probability, pass out. OR no wait— Watch newly-purchased Star Trek and all the special features with the fam. That’s the master plan. And have a laaaaarge glass of οἶνον.
Besides typical Thanksgiving familiaque relatives-related happenings, I also get to spend time with best friends that I haven’t seen since August.
ἀλλὰ there’s plenty of Greek and Latin and creative writing homework to do. καὶ I am ignoring history, because I kind of hate it right now.
GOING HOME TTYL
G(r)eek and Star Trek
Spock rocks some stunna shades.
Just watched “Is There In Truth No Beauty?” while kindof doing Greek homework and I especially liked this episode! I enjoyed the character of Dr. Miranda Jones. Andwhaddaya know, there’s plenty of Classical references in this episode! First off, there is the Ambassador Kollos from the planet Medusa. Like the creature of myth they are named after, Medusans are formless figures considered so ugly that upon looking at them, humans are driven mad (rather than being turned to stone).The crew and Dr. Jones discuss the notion “promulgated by the ancient Greeks that what is good must also be beautiful.” This brings me to the name of the ambassador, Kollos- “κολός” is the Greek (masculine) adjective for “good, noble, beautiful.” (o i see what you did there!)
A quote from Miranda Jones: “Who is to say whether Kollos is too ugly to bear, or too beautiful to bear?”
As if loving Star Trek wasn’t nerdy enough, then it has fabulous Classical references I can enjoy as well.
