Tonight I went to see The Wrath of Khan at Lucasfilm, and it was amazing. Not only had I never seen it (I KNOW), and not only was it at My Favorite Place Ever, there was a little trivia contest before the movie and I won! Kind of. They asked for the name of the no-win scenario, and I needed a minute for the name to come to me but I knew they’d give it to the first hand raised, so I jumped up anyway because I don’t believe in a no-win scenario. And fortunately, the nice dudes next to me whispered “Kobayashi Maru!” so I shared my winnings with them: an insignia pin/USB drive (which I gave to them), a small bag of Star Trek monopoly pieces, custom made Star Trek pins, and (from what I can tell) a custom Star Trek shirt with everybody’s favorite Vulcan in it. Best day ever? Yeah, I think so. And then, even though I saw it coming, I cried when Spock died. So I did what any normal person would do: I went home and sculpted myself a pair of Vulcan ears in the bathroom with modeling clay. As you can tell, the half-ear attempt came out a lot better than the full-ear experiment. Then again, I also spent about ten minutes on each side, so this is one of those things I’m going to revisit in a few months when I get better. (KHAAAAAAAAAAN!)
