Scenes From an Engagement

[Early one morning]

The Boyfriend: I can't find any matching socks! Damnit what happened to all my socks!?
The Bird: Just wear odd socks. Who cares!? I do it all the time...
The Boyfriend: Yeah, and you look like a hobo!

[Later that same night]

The Bird: [romantically] Give me your hand.
The Boyfriend: But it's got my beer in it!

Happy New Year, F*ckers

Given how drunk I managed to get myself this past NYE, it seems obvious that I must have slipped and fallen into a wormhole sometime during the night only to emerge in an alternate 2009 wherein there exists the book pictured left.

Yes, you are not imagining it. This is a novel in which Star Trek meets the X-Men. From what I hear, adventure & romance ensue!

I cannot wait to read it. I hope it is awesome! It had better be because I am going to get a lot of shit from The Boyfriend for reading this. The Boyfriend likes books that were written within the last 10 years about normal people who are not mutants or space dudes. He thinks the prime directive has something to do with house-painting. He almost called off our engagement when he caught me reading the Sookie Stackhouse books, but this is way, way, way more worse-er.

Apparently, Picard and Xavier have a scene together where they joke about how they look identical - because they are both Patrick Stewart. That is, like, so post-modern!

Dude.
