On rainy days. My husband and I like to sit and watch Star Trek. It has brought on many conversations on the concept of space travel and how it directly relates to the current human climate and issues here on earth.
Currently we are arguing over my husband writing a technical paper for southwest Texas state on correcting all the “technical” issues on the Star Trek space ships. Well not arguing over his paper itself, just slightly raising our voices over the merits of his writing.
My husband has convinced himself, JJ ABRAMS needs to send him a letter of thanks for coming up with the fix on the old seatbelt issue in earlier Star Trek shows, and movies.
As his wife, I pulled a fully Supportive with gestures and all “Portlandia” Carrie Brownstein.
And began dramatically agreeing with him. that we need to email JJ ABRAMS right this second…right now..and demand a letter of thanks. Lets stop the show we are watching (Star Trek: Enterprise) Right Fucking now in this rainy weather, and send off a few inquiries and ask for appreciation from JJ ABRAMS!!
That I entirely agreed, How DARE THEY (who is they) not give my husband the appreciation for his Nerd brain! How Dare they.
My husband went on to talk about finding his old Southwest Texas Technical fixes for star trek he turned in for his Technical writing class in college. …..
I then interrupted him, to veer his thinking from this impossible task.
“See the amazing things we come up with when we communicate on dreary fine rainy days?”
We are Trekkies.
The End
