It's about ten after midnight, Eastern US time, and TrekSunday has just ended. According to what Frank told me, that beats the old record by ten minutes. Yipee. :-)

I'm also proud to say that I was present for just under six hours of the chat. Or maybe that's a bad thing. Yes, I believe my brain is melting...

I think I was there for the entire chat. Well, except when that AI took over for me.

I wish I could go to TrekSunday chats - but its Monday mornings for me.

::beats Jeff to the door and locks him inside with TSN and Frank::

There's only room for one of us in the escape pod, and, frankly, I paid the security deposit for it!

Actually, our escape pods launch on the same principle as the warp core ejects, so don't expect to be going very far... :-)

Eight hours? And Frank was there the whole time? I don't know if I should be amazed at such a feat, or disturbed.

Wait, it's the latter. *Shudders*.

Ugh.... If I wasn't busy doing graphics stuff, more graphics stuff, working two jobs, work stuff, ethics stuff, getting a job stuff, and trying to appease half the world while keeping my slow grip on health and sanity, I'd prolly have been there.

But still... EIGHT HOURS?! .... Gaaaahhh.

Is that ethics stuff part of your uni stuff Jubes? Or do you have to devote time to not blackmailing people or something.

I was there for a few hours. And managed to talk about comics for 75% of the time, and South Park for the rest.

How many of those 8 hours included Star Trek talk, eh?

Well, it couldn't have been more than the first couple hours. I don't recall Trek being mentioned at all during the nearly-six hours that I was there... *L*

Well if there was no Trek, there better damn well have been some curry at some point.

8 Hours without curry? That's un-possible!

Speaking of curry, does anyone have any (simple) recipes? A friend of mine made some curried rice and curry chicken a few weeks ago, and I don't know any of the ingredients except curry and rice (or chicken, depending on the dish).

Any help offered will be gratefully accepted.

Actually, I'm pretty sure there wasn't any curry during the time I was there, either.

But it wasn't my fault. It was the first one I had been to in a very long time. I'm out of practice. :-)
