Red Alarm: There are big fat spoilers ahead. Especially for Starfleet Academy, Enterprise, and Voyager. Continue at your own discretion.
I love Star Trek. I watch some form of it every week. I read the books. I listen to podcasts. I think a lot about it. I also have thoughts about some fans' reactions to things. These are some of those thoughs put into text.

I first saw this on Manuel Moreale's blog as a "random list of silly things I hate", but it has popped up elsewhere as well.
I re-named the whole thing for this blog because I just like the phrase "pet peeve" so much.

Axxuy recently posted his expenses for his blog, and I thought: Why not do the same? And use some tables for that. 😁

I've been thinking about social media and the web, and how to be in it a lot recently. While in the shower, brushing teeth, combing hair, folding laundry, washing dishes, cooking, making coffee, on my way to work, at work, in the supermarket, in bed before falling asleep. I tried to form these thoughts and feelings I have into words and those words into coherent sentences.

Over the last week or so I've been digitising my CD collection. The vast majority of it I built in the 1990s and 2000s. After that I didn't buy many CDs anymore, and later mostly bought music digitally. Only recently I started to buy physical CDs again. Besides CDs that I bought myself back then, I also have a number of ripped albums and mix CDs that I got from friends and family members. Especially with the latter group it's been a fun dive into my past.

Happy new year, dear blog reader! Let's kick this blogging year off with a questionnaire. This one is all about webmastering. I found it on Solaria's blog and thought it was fun. Here's a handy template.

I have never done a year in review post, but with all the handmade "wrapped" posts that have been popping up on various blogs, I wanted to do one, too. I want to concentrate on books and music, as I haven't consumed a lot of other media, oddly enough. There was a time when I would go to the cinema once a week, every week. But those have gone, unfortunately. And even though I do watch series and films at home, it's nothing I am really obsessed with or want to talk about. So books and music it is.

I'm in my mid fourties now, and I think it's pretty safe to say that I am in the middle of my life, with one half lived and the other, if I'm lucky, still to live. So when I think about taking things slowly, I also always think about how I probaly won't have enough time for that.

There are things I want to do, but don't. I literally can't. I think it may be an inhibition of control over my executive functions, but I've never been diagnosed, so what do I actually know. I do know that I've always had problems with getting started. Over the years I have relaxed a little and am not completely annoyed by it anymore. I came to realise that some things need the right time to happen. And this right time might come, or it might not. But there are also things that I should do in a timely fashion. Like housework. E.g. not vacuuming for a number of weeks is not especially preferable, don't you think? *sigh*
But this is not what I want to talk about.

I finally subscribed to Noelle‘s blog! Why this took me so long I do not know. Sorry, Noelle! There‘s a post from August where she answers this question:
If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell?
