Here’s a roundup of my recent tweets on Twitter (slightly edited and remixed for clarity here on my blog). I’d love it if you’d follow me on there; you can do so via my Twitter profile page.

* Watching Wrath of Khan. So strange it’s almost 30 years old. In my mind’s eye, this is forever how the original Star Trek cast will be. LLAP

* Why is every spaceship in every TV show and movie every made always right-side up in relation to every other one it encounters? #nogravity

*Sad to think how many of the actors are gone now. Those who played Khan. McCoy. Scotty. Terrell. Doctors Carol and David Marcus.

* Count me among those who believe Carol Marcus was the “little blonde lab technician” Gary Mitchell spoke of in Where No Man Has Gone Before.

* Admiral Kirk’s uniform looks damn sharp in Wrath of Khan.

* Remember when Joachim from Wrath of Khan played a bad guy on General Hospital? I do.

* “My love has wings, slender, feathered things; with grace in upswept curve and tapered tip.” — Tarbolde, 1996

* Finally watched Burn After Reading by the Coen brothers. Not quite Fargo good, but very, very entertaining with touches of brilliance.

* Trump hates the payroll tax cut and unemployment extensions? Good, now I KNOW they’re a good thing.

* Thank you to Congress and Preznit Obama for allowing us to scrape by a couple more months before complete financial devastation kicks in.

* Amazed by all the year-end best-of music lists. I don’t think one single song penetrated my consciousness this year.

* Spent 60 dollars on candy for holiday gift giving, but my doctor can rest easy — only ate one chocolate covered pretzel from my son’s bag.

* Here’s my list of the 10 best comics I read in 2011: http://troublewithcomics.com/post/14667917958/adds-10-best-comics-of-2011

* Me: “Tim said he has to go to the Big and Fat store.” Wife: “You mean the Big and Tall store?” Me: “I never see any tall people in there.”

* Having spent two days re-watching the movie and listening to the commentary by @ebertchicago, Dark City may be my favourite movie.

* It touches on feelings of loss and longing for a past that may not exist that resonate very powerfully and viscerally within me.

* The desire of John Murdock to find Shell Beach strikes me as a metaphor for an almost indescribable universal hole we all have in our souls.

* One friend who doesn’t read comics is reading V for Vendetta. One who does read comics told me he “couldn’t get through” Watchmen. #gofigure

* I believe superhero comic art has suffered a monumental loss as a result of pencils/inks/letters no longer being on the same physical page.

* There’s no question I read as few superhero comics as I do in part because technology has turned them into something I can’t see as comics.

* True story: an ex-girlfriend of mine once suggested someone fax me a cheeseburger. “You can fax paper, why not cheeseburgers?”

* I once worked with a guy named Dave Clark who had never heard of the Dave Clark Five.
