Kiera Blogs (About Star Trek)

Seriously, if I'm not posting book reviews, I'm posting about Star Trek. I think I need to get a life -or a least a new obsession. Or I should work on one of about five essays that are currently demanding my attention. Seriously kids, when your parents tell you university is a good idea, they lie. It's a terrible place in which you pay a ton of money to be forced to spend all of your "free time" writing papers. I have nine papers due this month. Nine. Totalling upwards of 60 papers (I swear, I'm not even joking. One assignment isn't even half done and I'm already pushing 3000 words). Not the point though. This is another epic Star Trek post (also can be known as Reasons Why Kiera and Caitlin Should Not Be Allowed To Be Anywhere Near Each Other).

So. Caitlin and I got together tonight to watch the Brother Grimm. After which we would theoretically each go back to doing homework like good students. Since this is us, clearly that didn't happen. Oh no, we had to discover the complete and utter hilarity that are interviews featuring Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto. Oh my God. Those boys should never ever be allowed to not be together, because they're friggin' hilarious. Since I love all of my readers to a depth that is slightly ridiculous I thought I would spread the joy.

Geek Humour

Since this is my blog, I can post all the hilarious Star Trek vids I want, right? Excellent.

Toronto Trip

For us university kids we get this week off for reading week, which is really nice. I spent my first three days in Toronto with my cousin Jess, and our friend Emily who took the train up from Ottawa. It was lots of fun. After arriving at out hotel and dropping off our stuff we went in search of of food, and I got a delicious chicken and strawberry sandwich. It sounds a like a weird combination (and it actually is) but it's also a very delicious one. We then went for a (cold) walk and I stopped in the middle of the sidewalk to take pictures of pigeons:

This one was a funny colour and I thought it was very pretty. After all of us were thoroughly frozen, we returned to the hotel room to doll ourselves up for a night out. (I, of course, made everyone model for pictures)

We had a fun night out at a pub, in which we played pool and talked to a whole bunch interesting people. Jessie was hit on by a very drunk Irish boy, and I enjoyed showing off my (not very) formidable pool skills. The next day was rather uneventful, and we spend most of it walking around and shopping. I got to go the World's Biggest Bookstore, and emerged with two new books and Scrabble (because that's exactly how cool I am). That night we had a delicious dinner of pizza and sushi.
And we watched Law Abiding Citizen, and played Scrabble. This is what all 19 year olds do on vacation in downtown Toronto, right? Monday was equally uneventful, but also lots of fun. We went shopping and then everyone had to catch their buses/trains/subways home. I enjoyed listening to Zachary Quinto narrate the Star Trek audiobook on the way home. I never thought I'd actually like audiobooks, but I'm actually finding that it's a nice way to pass the time on buses and such.

So, that was my weekend. What did you guys do?

Misc. Stuff

As this is a blog created for a university blogging contest, is it fair for me to blame my lack of posts on said university? Probably not, but I think I will do so anyways. In the last two weeks I have handed in seven papers. I have also spent far more time than I should procrastinating, but personally I think that's part of being a student. So, to make up for being terribly remiss in posting, I shall spam all (four) of my readers with a few of the videos and songs that I have been listening to/obsessing over this week.


Hey look guys! A Star Trek video! Is anyone surprised? I didn't think so. omg, it's hilarious though, so... just watch it. (don't judge me)


The video for this song is also pretty awesome, but I'm too lazy to look for it properly. Thank you Caitlin for sending me all of the albums. :)


I've been listening to this song a whole bunch lately as well. It's pretty.

(I would also like to inform everyone the ontd_startrek is pretty much taking over my life)
