Daily Digest for July 10th
Tweets for 2013-07-08
- So watching DS9 from the very beginning. Already watched the pilot episode, now on "Past Prologue" 21:41:25, 2013-07-08
- DS9 was alway my least favourite Star Trek. Which is probably why it has the most episodes I've not seen 21:48:02, 2013-07-08
- It might have been Sisko that put me off. I wasn't sure about Kira to start with, but grew to <3 her 21:49:47, 2013-07-08
- It's a bit sneaky for Kira to pre-emptively go above Sisko's head about the terrorist guy though 21:51:42, 2013-07-08
- The Duras sisters are forever entertaining though. 21:59:13, 2013-07-08
- They were never terribly successful at getting what they wanted though 21:59:48, 2013-07-08
- I do <3 how Odo loves to just lock people in gaol. 22:00:49, 2013-07-08
- I don't think I could put up with hanging out with baby Dr Bashir though. He's too… overeager for adventure or something 22:02:19, 2013-07-08
- Odo is the best as turning into another object and spying on people though. The best. I think Odo is my favourite at the beginning 22:03:35, 2013-07-08
- I don't understand how Kira thought that Sisko wouldn't find out that she went over his head 22:06:44, 2013-07-08
- Or how it would work out well. 22:06:53, 2013-07-08
- Or maybe Garak is the best. 22:09:04, 2013-07-08
- This Tahna Los guy is awful 22:11:21, 2013-07-08
- See, knowing what I know about Bashir, it's kind of weird to see him being so obscenely naive. 22:14:23, 2013-07-08
- How does Kira not appear shady? 22:15:14, 2013-07-08
- Also, the way that Garak, Bashir and Sisko say "suit" is hilarious 22:16:11, 2013-07-08
- "how much do you know about me Odo?" "More than you probably realise." NOT CREEPY AT ALL ODO 22:17:39, 2013-07-08
- PLEASE TRY ON THE JACKET BASHIR 22:19:42, 2013-07-08
- You are as covert as an explosive badger 22:19:58, 2013-07-08
- I can't believe he didn't try on the jacket. 22:24:04, 2013-07-08
- I don't understand how Tahna Los could think that Kira wouldn't be suspicious of Klingons 22:25:13, 2013-07-08
- Does Dax do a lot of backcombing to get her hair that bouffanty for just a ponytail? 22:26:35, 2013-07-08
- Can't Tahna Los pilot the runabout himself? 22:27:10, 2013-07-08
- SISKO YOU SNEAKY 22:30:33, 2013-07-08
- Ok. Next episode, "A Man Alone" 22:39:01, 2013-07-08
- Bashir, you are never never going to get anywhere with Dax like that. 22:39:20, 2013-07-08
- Dax's hair is awesome 22:39:40, 2013-07-08
- Is Odo more wrinkly faced at the beginning than at the end? 22:42:25, 2013-07-08
- Is that a euphemism Sisko? 22:48:05, 2013-07-08
- Ok going to halt 10 minutes in and finish watching another day 22:49:36, 2013-07-08

in reply to grrlinterrupted -> - Reading reviews of Pacific Rim. Realising the amazing fanfic & crossover fanfic potential the Pacific Rim universe has means… ->
- …I actually don't care if it turns out to be an awful film because some fic writer out there will sort it out for me. ->
- Things that are a bit "uhhh" = relatives that give you money to buy a dress ->
- Things that are "yay" = managing to find something you like & can report back on & it's half price ->
- Things that are also "yay" = spending the rest of the money on a new GPS for yr car ->
- @AnnLarimer yep. especially since my old one had smoke erupt from it the other day and now it's dead in reply to AnnLarimer ->
- @AnnLarimer I have a map too, but it's like being in a car with my driving instructor again. Basically, someone else can remember… in reply to AnnLarimer ->
- @AnnLarimer …whether it was right or left I wanted to go when I get to the junction. in reply to AnnLarimer ->
- This is what I got. It also means that I won't be wearing all-black at the next wedding I go to http://t.co/N73JLUmfB1 ->
- Which is what I accidentally did at the last wedding I went to, but managed to get away with it because of blue hair. ->
- I have a vague idea that the bride did tell me not to wear black the last time we saw each other. ->
- @AnnLarimer Hah well, I've only had my license & been able to drive alone for 2 years so it's not yet a problem for me in reply to AnnLarimer ->
- @MadeFromCorpses THE FANFIC WILL BE AMAZE ANT. AMAZE. THAT IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT. AND THE TOYS OMG in reply to MadeFromCorpses ->
- It was probably something like "Rachel, you cannot wear black at my wedding." and I probably just looked a bit shifty at her ->
- And then conveniently did not answer. The wedding before that one, I had a nice scarf covered in skulls ->
- Bride definitely did not notice that one even though I spent the 24hrs prior to the wedding with her cos she was stressed out of her mind ->
- @MadeFromCorpses Is there such a thing as no more room for giant robot toys? @damianjohnson in reply to MadeFromCorpses ->
- @peachnixon The hair has never been a problem for me, it's more like the venn of my wedding & funeral outfits is a circle in reply to peachnixon ->
- @nikki It all boils down to my kind of being a bit goth. in reply to nikki ->
- @nikki Heh aces. I don't think I could have got away with jeans in reply to nikki ->

- @AnnLarimer Yeah, but it makes sense. It's like watch adverts, get delicious delicious Trek in between in reply to AnnLarimer ->
- @AnnLarimer It's just a bit weird cos I grew up with Trek having no adverts at all in reply to AnnLarimer ->
- @AnnLarimer Heh my mum has Netflix, I have Lovefilm…but only a DVD subscription not streaming in reply to AnnLarimer ->
- @AnnLarimer They do! It's not so bad actually, it's like watching TV on holiday in reply to AnnLarimer ->
- @AnnLarimer I have discovered that apparently there is insurance available that you can leave someone in your will in reply to AnnLarimer ->
- See, knowing what I know about Bashir, it's kind of weird to see him being so obscenely naive. ->
- @AnnLarimer it might be an army thing? maybe? in reply to AnnLarimer ->
- @AnnLarimer I also want to visit this Red Lobster place. Their food looks exciting. ->
