As rad as he is, I think the only person that would want to wake up feeling like Gary Busey is Gary Busey. That crazy ol' chap...
Anyways. So I haven't got a chance to examine my thumb yet because I'm kind of afraid to take the band aid off. I also decided that maybe it's a good idea that maybe my mom doesn't have to know about my little mishap. Because then she'll just laugh at me and say "What did I tell you? Those blades are sharp but NOOOO. You don't listen to me. Joke's on you now, you can't cut apples right." And I'll just roll my eyes and plug Ingrid Michaelson into my ears.
She's really a good singer. And her songwriting skillz are made of much win. Much win, indeed. I've got one of her songs stuck in my head right now, it's called Die Alone. And no, it's not depressing in any way whatsoever. So I suggest you give that a listening-to. Probably one of my favorite songs by her. Mmmm, Ingrid. And actually, she sounds really good with Sara Barellis or however you spell her hast name.
And--OH OH OH OH OH GUESS WHAT GUYS. GUESS WHOSE BIRTHDAY IT IS TODAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! OH MAN, I'M SO EXCITED. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES DOOHAN. :D I've never been so excited at 7:21 AM ever. Or at least I think so. But it's Montgomery Scott's birthday~~~~ OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY. He would be...85 today? Ouch, I was off. Wait, no. I was wrong again. He woulda been 90. Holy crap. o.o Ahma steal some stuff off his Wikipage.
"At the beginning of the Second World War, Doohan joined the Royal Canadian Artillery. He was commissioned a lieutenant in the 13th Field Artillery Regiment of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division. Doohan went to the United Kingdom in 1940 for training. His first combat was the invasion of Normandy at Juno Beach on D-Day. Shooting two snipers, Doohan led his men to higher ground through a field of anti-tank mines, where they took defensive positions for the night. Crossing between command posts at 11:30 that night, Doohan was hit by six rounds fired from a Bren gun by a nervous Canadian sentry:[3] four in his leg, one in the chest, and one through his right middle finger. The bullet to his chest was stopped by a silver cigarette case. His right middle finger had to be amputated, something he would conceal during his career as an actor. Despite his efforts, the injured hand can be seen in the Star Trek episodes "Trouble with Tribbles", "Tomorrow is Yesterday", "The Ultimate Computer" and "Catspaw", as well as in The Search for Spock when giving parts from the USS Excelsior to Doctor McCoy, and in The Final Frontier when Nyota Uhura brings him dinner on the bridge of the USS Enterprise-A.
Doohan was often quoted as saying, "Scotty is ninety-nine percent James Doohan and one percent accent."
Using his considerable vocal skills, Doohan devised the Vulcan and Klingon language dialogue heard in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Later, professional linguists, particularly Marc Okrand, expanded Klingon into a fully constructed language with a working grammar.
On July 20, 2005, at 5:30 in the morning, Doohan died at his home in Redmond, Washington with his wife Wende and long-time friend and agent, Steve Stevens, at his side. His agent identified the cause as pneumonia and Alzheimer's disease. In what may be regarded as an ironic coincidence, Doohan died on the anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing, arguably the greatest engineering achievement in human history."
You go, Scotty. You just go, you awesome son of an Irishman you. So I guess I have to wish you all a Happy Apollo 11 Landing Day too, huh? Have a good one, readers. Which I guess just must mean Leia. XD
