12 December 2002 (Thursday): time warps

Excuse me while I beat my head against the wall for a while.

This has not been a good week for times. That wasn't a miraculously good parking spot; that was the curb marked for street cleaning the following morning. A 2 o'clock interview turned out to be at 1 (fortunately that one was over the phone, and I was home at the time). A performance this weekend isn't at 3, it's at 2. Worst of all, the hour of my most important meeting this month was given to me in Eastern Standard Time. Hence the frantic "where are you??" calls at 10:05 this morning.

Sigh.

I would blame it on the drugs, but I put these on my calendar weeks ago. A more comforting theory, albeit outlandish, is that I have been neatly rescued from tragic disasters with each mismarked appointment -- that a guardian angel is making me dodge bullets of some kind. Contrition's a small price to pay for that.

The new Star Trek movie just came out... This probably explains the strange time shift phenomenon you've been noticing.

The silly ensign that is going to die in the movie must be piloting the ship like a monkey, causing micro-perforations of the space-time-continum fabric.

It's always the ensign.

We can't even call 'em redshirts anymore, ever since all the expendables started wearing yellow.

Question: Who would win the ground war? The Imperial Stormtroopers, or Starfleet Security?

Answer: What a silly question; they're both hopelessly incompetent. The Ewoks would beat the stormtroopers and Starfleet will lose to the Tribbles. The real question is whether the Tribbles or the Ewoks win in the end.

I vote for Tribbles. They're cuter. (And cuter always wins.)
