- it took me 15 minutes to do my midterm in medical terminology tonight. I either aced it or failed spectacularly. either way SPRING BREAK BABY. I still have to work though which is a huge bummer.
- good choice AI. also Adam Lambert you are adorable.
- I can see that this is not the day when I don't sob uncontrollably at the end of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. wtf self he's only dead for like 20 minutes.
- also David Marcus. so cuuuuuute.
- I should try going to bed at a decent hour tonight. uh huh. I'll uh. get right on that.
- oh that stupid training I went to was as useless as I assumed it would be. fortunately my supervisor (who had to sit through it as well) pretty much agreed with me.

About ten years ago (god... it was ten years ago??) I went to a Star Trek convention with a very old friend of mine. (She and I became trek geeks together following the theatrical release of the Wrath of Khan - it was 1983 or something; we were 13 at the time). In the bar of the con hotel, they were playing ST-II. It was right near the end... Spock disappeared from the bridge...

Me: Molly, don't watch, you'll cry and ruin your makeup and you get to meet Sid in an hour!!!
Molly: *rolls eyes* Yeah, right. I've only seen this fourty-billion times. I am NOT going to cry.
- Jump to 20 minutes later -
Me: There, there...
Molly: *Sobs helplessly into her gin and tonic*

Good times. Good, good times... Keep in mind, we really thought he was permanently dead for a year or two.

oh yeah. I can remember seeing it during it's theatrical release... 1983 would have made me 12 at the time. I remember that one of the neighborhood moms was taking all the boys to see it and I had to ask if I could go too. I was the only girl in our neighborhood who wanted to go. I had to pretend not to be crying (my brother amazingly did not rat me out) or I would have never heard the end of it. when I went to sleep that night I just sobbed into my pillow.

and yeah I thought he was permanently dead. you know. until the next movie was announced and the title pretty much gave it away. heh.

!!!! For some reason I thought you were a lot younger than I. You just look young I guess. We must be quite close to the same age, actually. Heh. Sorry about that!

[loveflyfree.livejournal.com]

HAHAH no problem. people always think I'm younger than I actually am. :)

and the actor who played David Marcus really is dead. Did you ever read the novelization by Vonda McIntyre? One of the best movie novelizations ever written - she really built up a backstory for the genesis scientists.

really? that's sad. I always thought he was dreamy in that mid-80s kind of way. lol. and I have not read the novelization. I hate the way Search for Spock turns David into shady scientist guy. I'll have to check to used book stores around here to see if I can find it.

He died of a drug overdose - very sad. Do you remember him from the short-lived '80s series "Square Pegs"? It also had Sarah Jessica Parker in it.

It is worth reading for sure - there is a lot more character development on Saavik too (I hated Saavik in Search for Spock; say what you will about crazy Kirstie, but she made an awesome Vulcan. I wanted to BE her). Most used book stores seem to have seven or eight copies - but let me know if you can't find it and I'll look here.

I do remember Square Pegs! I loved that show. and that's right! he was the "punk" boy. Johnny? I think. heh.

I'll take a look around and let you know if I can't find it. but seriously every used book store I've ever been in has tons of old Star Trek. \o/

Johnny "slash". Yep!!
