The Picard Maneuver (the jacket, not the tactical move)

My honey gave me the entire Star Trek movie series, from the woefully lame Star Trek: The Motion Picture to Nemesis, which was only marginally better because it actually had a plot. In between there were some really good ones, but the thing that I really enjoyed was all the commentary and special features. I fell in love with Riker all over again, and Shatner is as bombastic as ever. Michael Okuda is my new favorite person because he did some brilliant work creating a pop-up video-like commentary of the movies. He's a funny guy.

Anyway, I give the special features a bunch of thumbs up. It was very entertaining. Even more entertaining was watching Christy's look of disgust as she'd walk into the room to see what I had on, only to discover it was yet another Trek. Bahahaha. In fact, I just ran her out of the office by inviting her to watch one with me. Who knew privacy was so easily attainable?

So, all things Trek fresh on my mind, I had one of those post-modern moments of realization in class today, when my suit jacket kept riding up, and I kept snapping it down. At one point I realized I was doing the Picard Maneuver.

What a nerd.
