Star Trekkin', car wreckin' and The D!

So, I met up with Brent Spiner today. I say this often but he was a really genuine person. I have to admit I got a little excited about meeting him because Star Trek: TNG is one of my few guilty pleasures. If I'm ever having a crappy day or I'm looking to just zone out for a bit I flick around the TV channels and see if I can catch an episode. I don't consider myself a hardcore fan of the franchise but it's great entertainment... although my better half would disagree. It's not really her cup of tea.

Anyway, what with Friday (08.09.06) being the 40th anniversary of Star Trek first hitting the airwaves it was the perfect time to do the interview. I'll post my stories and features that I get out of the interview up here as soon as I can... within reason.

In other news, I see Paris Hilton got busted for an alleged DUI. I wonder if the recording industry will also try and get her charged with crimes against music following the release of her awful album! It made HER cry when she listened to it? How do you think the rest of the world felt when we were subjected to it?

Steve Irwin - I freakin' loved that guy - might have accidentally killed himself when he pulled the stingray barb out of his chest. Ouch! And in case you weren't aware, one of my favourite movie makers, Tim Burton, is to direct the video for The Killers' next single. That is a great idea.

Finally for today, on a personal note, I got my tickets for the December tour of Jack Black's band Tenacious D on presale today. I can't wait! I saw them a few years ago before The D got huge and it was one of the most hilarious nights of my life. If you want to join me (and about 4,996 other people) then they go on sale to Joe Public at 9AM on Saturday morning... or you can click here!

Don't say I never do anything for you...
