My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Slayer have a song called "Pride in Prejudice"—Α Jane Austen reference! It’s no coincidence that I adore her so much; even the mighty Slayer took note. The song has nothing to do with her, though—they just liked the title. Also, whatever you do, don’t watch the video; it’s horror —total splatter

From the depths of dark solitude. From The eternal abode in my holiness, Hidden set apart in my stern counsels Reserv'd for the days of futurity, I have sought for a joy without pain, For a solid without fluctuation Why will you die O Eternals? Why live in unquenchable burnings? W. Blake - Urizen
