Look up, I look up at night

It is my theory, which I believe is reasonable, that I own the “Star Trek” franchise and that I have owned it since its creation, along with the “Battlestar Galactica“ franchise. I might be the owner of ABC’s “Lost” television series as well, among my other holdings.


I was watching this episode of “Star Trek” this morning and I noticed that woman had a noticeable hump on her back when they revealed her true form. That might be why Microsoft-Corbis put that woman with the name similar to Kosovo near me at Microsoft. I remember that my manager was trying to talk me into going out with her. That woman at Microsoft with the hump on her back wasn’t blonde but she might have been the closest match Microsoft-Corbis could find. Precisely why they were doing that, I do not know.

Star Trek
The Menagerie
Spock's court-martial defense is a transmission from a forbidden world, Talos IV; guests Jeffrey Hunter, Susan Oliver.
Original Air Date: Nov 24, 1966


I wrote earlier about that guy named Clarence that Microsoft-Corbis had sitting in the cubicle across the aisle from me. I remember that Clarence was sitting across from me around the time of Ironman Utah 2002 triathlon in Provo because I remember something he said, related to his enlistment in the National Guard, that could have only been after Ironman Utah 2002 triathlon. Provo is described in the dictionary as:

One of the members of an extremist faction of the Irish Republican Army. a militant organization of Irish nationalists who used terrorism and guerilla warfare in an effort to drive British forces from Northern Ireland and achieve a united independent Ireland



Clarence House, which stands beside St James's Palace, was built between 1825 and 1827 to the designs of John Nash for Prince William Henry, Duke of Clarence. He lived there as King William IV from 1830 until 1837. During its history, the house has been altered, reflecting the changes in occupancy over nearly two centuries.

It was the London home of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother from 1953 until 2002 and was also the home of The Queen, then Princess Elizabeth, and The Duke of Edinburgh following their marriage in 1947.

Today Clarence House is the official London residence of The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall.


I remember a wistful comment - judging by her expression - by Laura Miller, a long time coworker at Microsoft, when the topic of the Royal Family came up and she said “That should be me.”


This occurred 3 weeks, 3 days, before my 1st birthday:

Later, on February 8, 1960, the Queen issued another Order-in-Council, confirming that she and her four children will be known as the House and Family of Windsor, and that her other male-line descendants (except those who are "HRH" and a Prince or Princess) will take the name "Mountbatten-Windsor".


In my symbolic “memory,” I grew up in De Queen. I played baseball for a team sponsored by a company named Mountaire. I “remember” a big win against another team in town that was supposed to be the best team to play for. Every time I was at bat, I always got on base because none of the opposing pitchers could pitch to a left-hander and I would get walked or get hit by the ball. I “remember” my mother complaining every year that I had joined the baseball and then the football team without her permission because she didn’t want me getting hurt but I played anyway without her knowing.

To be able to step outside and walk around knowing that the people around me don't know who I am and that they aren't trying to deceive me with their conversations, I don't see how I will ever have that kind of life again. I go outside to sit in the sun, and people around me are deceiving me with their conversations. They are trying to communicate something to me for some reason, but they deceive me with their subterfuge, sometimes malicious, sometimes benevolent.

On a visit to the British Broadcasting Corp. on Thursday, the queen was asked what she wanted for her birthday.

"A nice sunshiny day — that would be nice," she said.
