Is that the nebula with Ottawania and its most important geographic feature, Mt. Mountie?

'Nathan will be proud of that. He struggles with titles and Lorimer apparently wasn't fond of this one title and wanted to change it, but they couldn't come up with anything better.

Went to "Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale" last night with Ryk, Jack, and John, and it was magnificent. Even though I missed Maggie Smith, the rest of the characters carried the day with terrific performances--especially Arty Froushan as Noel Coward. Then, a delicious Indian dinner at the Spice Room.

Well, the new Great British Bake-Off season is two eps underway, and we said goodbye to Leighton yesterday. Middle-aged white gay guys never last past the third episode, so this is on target. Me? I'm Team Toby. He can be my Star Baker any day.

Happy Star Trek Day! I remember the Friday night this premiered. My mom and I were totally into it. My eternally constipated father (there's a certain irony there) spent most of the hour in the bathroom. For all its faults, I remain a Trekker to this day. Live long and prosper.
