Culture Geek

I did a lot of cultural stuff this week.

I went to the Asia Society and learned about Indonesia. I went to the Jewish Museum and learned that Leonard Nimoy was Jewish. I learned lots of other things, but that really stuck with me. We had those little headsets on our heads, and suddenly Spock was talking to me. I almost stumbled into a display of menorahs. Was I part of a Star Trek episode where they travel back in time? No, he's just a huge patron of the museum.

This new nugget of knowledge was a treasure to me, as I went over to his modern digs on Friday.

I embraced me inner geek, as it was Geek Night at his house. He opened the door, with his huge apparatus on display for our viewing pleasure. It had to have been 55 inches diagonal, but with surprisingly little girth. I can only dream of having something this big. I'm looking at maybe buying a 20 incher for Christmas.

The night was filled with animated discussions of Joss Whedon and his upcoming flick Serenity. We then watched three episodes of his old show Firefly that Michael had recorded.

This was a great night for me. My boyfriend is interested in things Trek, but isn't obsessive like me. It was fun to discuss all the different sci-fi shows with no need to explain WHY they were worth discussing.

I finally got home around midnight, slipped into bed next to my slumbering partner, and dreamed of space battles.
