The Star Trek Book of Friendship: You Have Been, and Always Shall Be, My Friend


The publisher of the book was kind enough to send me a copy of the book, it’s both on instagram AND on my bookshelf. It’s a uniquely weird type of book, something that I’ve never run into in all my time collecting and reading Trek books. It’s not a series of conversations, it’s not an in universe look at the characters, but instead it’s an ongoing conversation between the authors Robb Pearlman and Jordan Hoffman about the various friendships that have taken place throughout all the Trek series up to now. There’s even a few mentioned that I’m not even sure I’d call friendships, like Beverly Crusher and Troi from Next Generation, or Reed and Trip from Enterprise. The guys from Enterprise, I would barely even call them friendly with each other, much less actual friends, but with Reed being such a cold and uncaring character, maybe that’s the best kind of friendship he can have, one where he’s always yelling and belittling the other person.
The art might suggest that this is a children’s book, but it’s definitely not, and mentioning some pretty advanced topics like “Bechdel tests”, “cisgendered conversations”, and the unfortunate case of “Tuvix”, who is always an ethical topic to touch on. Honestly, imho, Captain Janeway did the right thing by killing Tuvix and giving life back to Neelix and Tuvok, but I can see an argument for keeping the new entity around for compassion’s sake.
Luckily I agree with the authors in that the greatest friendship in Trek is between Kirk and Spock, though I would have made it a threeway friendship with McCoy thrown in for the obvious reasons.
This is a fun and unique read with eye catching art. It’s a bit pricey at $18 for a 128 page book, but if you’re looking for a fun essay on friendships, this is the place to be.

Star Wars: Secret Missions: #1 Breakout Squad


This was included in a box of Star Wars books I got from the local Goodwill for a couple bucks. It’s not a bad book, but it’s definitely written for beginners, both to the Star Wars universe and to reading in general.

LEGO vs Cats, Goldie, Vinyl, and a Foot Fetish


One of my cats, Miles, not the one that’s in the picture, got on top of my fish tank and knocked off a LEGO AT-ST that I had up there. Luckily all the pieces were sitting right there and I could put them back together, but the tragedy of this is that now Miles knows he can get up there, so I need to figure out how to cat proof the top of a fish tank that’s feet off the ground.
This isn’t my cat, but a year or so ago, we got super friendly with her and were feeding her and giving her love nearly every day. She came and went as outside cats do, and the last time I saw her was on April 10th, a few weeks went by and I assumed that she had either moved on or became another part of the circle of life, but then today she showed up and started screaming at me, just like the first time we ever saw her. I wonder what she’s been up to. She didn’t get a chance to get pets today, was way too on alert, maybe tomorrow?
I bought this record at Goodwill for $2 and it’s everything I hoped it would be.
