Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto had dinner together Wednesday night. While this in itself is not truly earth shattering news, we have to look at the larger pictures.
They are both Spock, from different time periods, not only different time periods, different time lines, thanks to J.J. Abrams. If the two Spocks meet and break bread together, what does that do to the space time continuum? Does it rip it apart? Never to be put back together again, or according to my friend Doug’s theory it brings peace and harmony to the universe. This is a question that should be answered by a more qualified person. Perhaps Simon Pegg, as James Doohan is no longer with us. Or the good doctor, I am sure he would have fascinating things to say about green blood co-mingling and destroying the universe.
Perhaps Uhura, since she apparently has a thing for the younger version of Spock. But you know, I always thought she had a thing for him, even in the different time line. Didn’t’ every woman have a thing for Spock? I know I did, always preferred Spock over Kirk.
So, who would be the best expert to weigh in on the subject? J.J. Abrams or Gene Rodenberry?
I think we might better be able to get an answer from Abrams, without a séance, that is.
In the meantime, I will continue to ponder the universal ramifications of the meeting of the Spocks.

Sometimes I believe I have too much time to think. I was thinking that it would be a lovely idea to dress in Elizabethan Era clothing. How much fun would it be to wear silks and satins every day, to wear jewels and walk around with a tiny waist due to the corset. Oh, it would be sheer heaven; of course I would still wear makeup. Cannot go without that, and contacts. A modified Elizabethan look if you will. It does beg the question; would sumptuary laws come back into effect? Maybe they should anyway, however, it would not be based on income and title as it was then, it should be based on appropriateness. Is it really appropriate for a man to wear a Speedo swimsuit for any other purposes than a swim competition? Fine him heavily! Also to the woman who wears a leather vest with no shirt under it to work, unless you are a bartender or waitress, consider yourself fined. Please pay the coffers and promise not to do it again.
A fun Elizabethan Era Royalty fact, they rarely if ever wore the color blue, the working class apprentices wore that color which made it undesirable for the upper classes. Oh, that could explain my aversion to the color blue. Since I am royalty in my head, don’t judge, it’s not pretty.
Ok, huge wedding decision has been made, we had thought about getting married in the Catholic church, since fiancé is very Catholic and his family is Catholic, I thought it would be a nice gesture. So, off we go to find out what is involved in that. We met with a very nice woman, who gave us a list of the documentation we would both need to invalidate our former marriages. Invalidate. The word gave me great pause. My marriage was valid, I stood up in front of a man of God, with my family and friends in attendance, and I married in good faith. I had children with him; I lived with him, all in good faith that the marriage would be forever. So I told fiancé that I could not do that, he understands, he said that he had his misgivings as well. So, now the search is on to find a minister to marry us.

I am not a romantic person, which is odd because I love romance novels. Well, really only two authors, Johanna Lindsey and Jude Deveraux, I buy whatever they write. I have a favorite book from each writer that I read over and over. With Johanna Lindsey it is Captive Bride and with Jude Deveraux it is Knight in Shining Armor. Both books totally rock.
I try to be more romantic as I have a romantic fiancé; he is always doing little things for me, nothing huge, just thoughtful and romantic. He tells me every day that I am beautiful; he is the first man besides my dad and grandfather that have ever told me that. I know what you are thinking, weren’t you married before? Well yes, I was, and no he never told me that, in fact he would say the exact opposite.
I don’t know if I was ever a romantic person, I can’t remember, I got married so young, and then there was no romance. So I honestly can’t remember. I remember wanting romance in my life, I started reading romance novels at 15 (I blame Teri Hudson); in fact my first romance novel was Captive Bride.
I have tried other romance authors, but I kept coming back to the same two, these two authors write strong, independent heroines and flawed heroes. I want human qualities in the characters in the books and Jude and Johanna provide in a big way.
So in the meantime, I try to be more thoughtful and romantic towards a person who is that way toward me. He is showing me how to be that person by his actions.

Is there anything worse than a blank mind? Yes, there is, a blank mind that is willing to be filled with whatever comes along, that is worse. I know people like that, whoever gets to them first, that is the opinion they will go with, they totally cannot think for themselves. Sad, really, to think of the potential for creative, original thought, just not there. People who spout misinformation without ever thinking of the consequences. People who don’t bother to gather all of the facts before inciting the masses.
Well, I can think of something worse, the destructive mind, someone who only thinks of horrible things to do to the people around them. Take Danielle Staub for instance. She is on the Real Housewives of New Jersey, and a more destructive woman just does not exist on the face of the planet. Last night she took a known convict to a charity function, he made threats and she threw around accusations that were so untrue, she also took this woman, Kim G, who was just as bad. They fed off of each other, and made everyone around them feel uncomfortable and a little scared.
The man she had with her, was a total nut job, if he really is connected like he bragged about being, on national television no less, then I have to tell you, his boss is not going to be happy with him. Can anyone say fish food?
There is a saying if someone shows you who they are believe them. Danielle has shown all of America who she is, frightening in a way that makes me never ever want to go to New Jersey!
