I quite liked Star Trek.

That's about it. I really liked the new incarnation. I think all of them did an amazing job of portraying characters so engraved into the zeitgeist, especially Zachary Quinto and Karl Urban. Karl and Simon Pegg were my absolute favs. So today at work I made this:


"CAUTION RED MATTER has been known to cause singularities in space-time. If consumed
do not induce vomiting. Call Spock immediately."  

Yeah, I totally get paid to make this stuff: it's great for a day-job.  No doubt Jeffrey will have made an improved version before I return to work on Thursday.  Knowing him, the little brat, it will probably self suspend and actually bring about the destruction of Vulcan.  Dick. 'Till then I'll be working on my robot and hopefully doing some animating by early June.

I'll keep you posted.

Things to do at work:

When working the cash register at any of our metro-area Ax-man Surplus stores, it's a good idea to keep these three things in mind: 

The security of the store is in YOUR hands.  See to it that the merchandise, and the fixtures come to no damage. Use any means necessary. 


Make signs!  Half the reason ours customers keep coming back is the literature.  The literature and our shared and somewhat deranged outlook on the world.



Make friends!  They don't have to be good looking, and chances are they won't be, but hey, everybody needs a friend.
