My Weekly Spock–Remembering Leonard at the TONYS

Posted on June 8, 2015 | 2 comments

If you didn’t catch the Tony Awards last night, in the memorial section Leonard’s picture was among the many   😦   I do love the photo they chose to represent him; one of my favorites.  I’ll add a copy of that picture when I find it!

Leonard had done a couple of plays on Broadway, Full Circle and Equus. And he had a theater named after him at Symphony Space in NYC.  I’m glad the Tony’s remembered him as more than Mr. Spock.

Help Adam Nimoy Make “For the Love of Spock”

Posted on June 6, 2015 | 1 comment

Adam Nimoy, (Leonard’s Son) is working hard to make his documentary “For the Love of Spock” a reality by 2016, which is the 50th anniversary of Star Trek!  However, it takes gobs of money, especially in regards to using any images related to the Original Series, and unfortunately, even being the SON of Mr. Spock doesn’t get you any favors!  Adam needs to raise  $600,000 by JULY 1st to achieve this goal.  He’s begun Kickstarter promotion to raise the needed funds.  Please help Adam achieve the dream of both him and his wonderful late father.  If everyone who loved Leonard Nimoy even pitched in a dollar, we’d have this paid off in a day!

Please be sure to watch this promotional video, and donate what you can.  This will be a wonderful documentary, and a fine tribute to the Vulcan and marvelous Human Being we all love so dearly!   Thanks, and GOOD LUCK ADAM!  ❤    (I donated!)

Much Better News from Nichelle today!   😀   Get your rest, Sweetheart!

From Nichelle’s Facebook page:

Update #2 10:15am June 5, 2016

The MRI showed that Nichelle Nichols had a MINOR stroke. She will start therapy this morning to evaluate how much damage was done, and try to determine her chances for a full or partial recovery. The therapists will test her hand at writing and legs to see if she can stand and walk on her own. Last night Nichelle remained alert, and cheerful.

When we told her about the love and support coming in from around the world she smiled and asked to see the posts on her facebook.

Thank you again for all of your kind words. Keep them coming because Nichelle is reading them.

Feel free to post your pictures with Nichelle and a story about when you met her.

FArF: Stained Glass Trek (by Me!)

Posted on June 5, 2015 | Leave a comment

Hey Kids,

I’ve always been fascinated by the beautiful use of light and color on the Original Series.  Those colored gels on what were really just grey walls gave the series a magical, yet cozy feel.  For a sci-fi show on a tight budget, it gave the whole series a special nuance of calm; like stained glass windows in a church.

Inspired by this lighting magic, I started playing around with images on Photoshop the other night and created these ‘stained-glass’ images. I kept the faces clear of lines so as not to distract from their beauty.

I bet I’ll do a lot of these! (I’m even giving them their own category).Here’s Spock from Whom Gods Destroy and Uhura from The Tholian Web.

Enjoy the serenity, Therese ❤

#70 ‘Let That Be Your Last Battlefield’

Unfortunately, too many cooks can’t save these cookies from burning. A sweet and mildly humorous take on a sad episode.  And modern chefs dress like Starfleet officers–Who Knew?
