Sleep deprivation is fun!
So I caught the end of a Voyager episode this afternoon (long story, don't ask). It was one in which Vorick is having his pon farr and is all into B'Elanna, who of course is not into him.

Some observations:

• Vorick is a poor example of a Vulcan, really, but he's amusing in his own way.

• I swear there must be several episodes where we deal with his pon farr, but they're only supposed to get it every 7 years and show was barely on for 7 years. This looked like an early season based on the Captain's hairstyle.
  

So he challenged Tom to one of those pon farr death battles, but B'Elanna was all like "Screw that! I can fight my own battles!" and Tuvok concurs that she is free to choose her own defender, including herself.

• That was awesome. Way to smash Vulcan patriarchies by thinking outside the box!

• Of course she kicked his ass. Which was ideologically cool, too. But I hope Vulcan males don't depend on any sort of machismo for their self-image, or he's got to be hurtin.

• Do you think "Klingon in Heat" would be a better name for a band or an album?

Breakfast today

• When I ate it, I realized that I had bought a "total" Greek yogurt instead of a "2%" Greek yogurt. I like 2% Greek yogurt A LOT, but the "total" one is really quite an experience! Too rich to do on any regular basis, but very, very nice. My favorite way to have Greek yogurt for breakfast is with a fresh ripe nectarine, some nuts, and a little splenda in it. I highly recommend that.
