Actually, James Doohan was Canadian. He did not have a natural Scottish accent. He affected that for the series. You can actually hear in one episode where he briefly broke accent for one line, and...

Had Thursday and Friday scheduled off from work, so I'm in the midst of a 5-day weekend (though now it's more than half over...).

This morning, I went and got some insect killer spray to deal with...

Been getting a lot of huge projects at work the last few weeks, all relating to the same overall client... and we've been going through a lot of paper as a result. It just gets a bit more frustrating...

So after my Stargate SG-1 rewatch (which led into rewatching the first few seasons of Stargate Atlantis, and finally finishing that series), I ended up doing a rewatch of Scrubs. At first I was just...

That's OK; where I work we have some people in an office a mile down the road from us, while others are working from home to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. AND those of us left in the home...

Found out today that the reason my office was closed was for extensive deep cleaning, and they're not quite ready to let us few back in yet.

Forgot to mentioned that I watched The Mandalorian as well. Definitely an entertaining little series.

*dusts off this thread* Under the current circumstances, I suppose it's time to bring this one back, huh?

Last week, I watched Star Trek: Picard. While there's still a bit of the "edginess" that...

I'd been deemed essential, since mail and packages can't scan or forward themselves (I'd been working in a mostly-empty office for a few weeks, with appropriate distancing and cleaning measures taken...

I got the two Marvel movies, as well Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse, Shazam!. and the Detroit Red Wings documentary, The Russian Five (along with the book of the same name on which the documentary...

Went to my first Detroit Red Wings game in five years, and my first-ever event at Little Caesars Arena. Sadly, the outcome for the home team (a 4-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings) wasn't as good as...

I haven't had a Netflix sub in a while now. I may go back sometime in the near future, but for now, I'm limiting myself (due to still having a rather tight budget and having to be selective about...

Since my last post in this thread, I went back and re-watched the entirety of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, which is my favorite Trek series besides the original. Having finished that a couple of weeks...

The last few weeks at work, we've had to take several boxes back and forth in a cargo van. Not going to talk about why since I'd rather not get into details about work, but suffice to say it's been...

Cooked myself up a couple of brat-burgers and topped them with white cheddar and Colby Jack.

I haven't been watching much in the way of TV, either. Lately I've been going through SF Debris' Star Trek reviews series by series. I'm currently finishing up his season 1 reviews of Enterprise.

The online movie review show The Blockbuster Buster took a look at the TV movie in his latest episode, which can be found here: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7f4357

I took Wednesday through Friday off from work, having scheduled my time off for the rest of the year back in the spring (we have to make arrangements with our manager, because he oversees multiple...

Don't you have mudrooms in your part of the country? Must be a regional thing. They're places where you can remove wet, snowy or muddy shoes, boots, coats etc. before going into the cleaner parts of...

Just saw Captain Marvel, and it's a great addition to the MCU.

Plus, they had a nice tribute to Stan Lee in there, and he did have a very amusing cameo.

Just watched it, and... it was okay. Felt like a rather decompressed episode, though. It did feel like it was moving slow at points.

The actors and characterizations were pretty decent for the...

Survived the deep freeze with subzero temperatures last week, and the big ice storm we were supposed to get overnight into this morning... wasn't quite the deathstorm people were bracing for.
...

It definitely looks interesting. Looking forward to checking it out.

Thanks, everyone. It was pretty uneventful... got treated to dinner on Sunday, then had some family over for New Year's (everyone went home a couple hours ago).

Well, for me, this is going to be more like, "How was your year?", since it's been a while...

Back in August - right before my Labor Day break, in fact - I found out that I was losing my job at...
