Al, Who Am I?

I've thought of another connection between my life and Scott Bakula that I really should have put in the Intersect article last week, because we're a week away from Halloween and it's a Halloween story.One of my favorite Halloween "costumes" of all time was to dress up as myself from 3 years prior (very easy to do since I don't change my wardrobe much) and talk to my imaginary friend Al all night. I was Sam Beckett who'd Quantum Leaped into me at that time to prevent an improv tournament from being ruined by a certain nemesis of mine.

Obscure? Kind of. Meta? Yeah, that's definitely how I roll.

Next week? The party's theme is villains and I have (as usual) no costume. I thought about going as myself, but I'm just not evil enough. Maybe I can pull off the Evil Leaper.

Amalgamonday Confession

Inspired by THIS:While you enjoy this Amalgam of Star Trek and Firefly, allow me to confess one of my repulsively geeky habits. This kind of amalgamation is something I do all the time as a mental exercise. Any show or franchise that has an ensemble cast, I eventually and inevitably put that cast on a Federation starship (usually TNG era) named after the corresponding show. It really doesn't have to be science-fiction. Captain Bartlet of the USS Republic? Check. Captain Phelps of the USS Impossible. Likewise. Captain Jack Harkness of the USS Torchwood (everyone's potentially a redshirt!). Captain Buffy Summers, youngest Captain in Starfleet, of the USS Sunnydale. Captain Donaghy of the USS Rockefeller (NCC-30). They've all existed in my head space.
