Things I need to do this weekend

[i_calql8]

1) Sleep
2) Get ebay packages of comics to the post office, take pics of next set of comics to post on ebay
3) Play Guitar Hero, while listening to #2 son brag about how much better he is at it than I am
4) Change AC filter so we still have a working AC during the last month of godawful heat
5) Write #1 son a letter, preferably without crying
6) Go through withdrawal because my Cubs/Astros game is postponed
7) Cheer for the Phillies to destroy the last remaining hopes of the Brewers becoming NL Central Champs
8) Nap
9) Write trivia questions for my pool so I have plenty to choose from Tuesday
10) Clean house, since God knows no one else in my family will do it
11) Watch 'Deal or No Deal' reruns, laugh at obnoxious bonehead contestants as they get greedy and lose thousands of dollars
12) Eat cookies my mom-in-law made before #2 son finishes them off
13) Forget completely about school and how much I hate teaching
14) Yell at obnoxious teenage kid across the street whose car stereo's woofers you can hear halfway down the block
15) Play Chainz2 a lot. I love this game. Very relaxing.
16) stay up late, enjoying the silence
17) wish the weekend had one more day in it

Quite a full plate I have for this weekend. :-)

Ps I was supposed to get back to you on those ST question. wasn't I? :(

I thought the year would be ok, I know it's a number, but it isn't a quantity number. Well, it is, a quantity of years, but... Oh hell, forget it.

Erm...

What instrument did Picard learn to play when he was Kamin? Resskian Flute

Or alternatively: Which Resskian's memories were downloaded into Picard's brain? Kamin's

What specific test did Troi have to pass to finally advance to the rank of Commander? She had to knowingly send someone to their death.

Do you take questions from the books?

In Spock's World, what are the creatures that initiate the spoken language on Vulcan? A'kweth or The Underliers

What crippled Commodore Pike and deformed the right side of the Mirror Trip's face? Delta radiation

What was the Federation mining on the Horta's home world? Pergium

I like these, but I hope you don't mind if I tweak them so the non-Trek geeks have a sporting chance:

Which character from ST: TNG plays a Ressikan flute? (Btw, "The Inner Light" is my favorite Next Gen episode. Makes me cry at the end every time. The bastards. ;-))

Which captain of the Starship Enterprise accidentally got his face deformed by a dose of delta radiation?

Human bodies are based on carbon, but on the original Star Trek, we saw a Horta, a lifeform based on what other element?

Which Star Trek: TNG character was promoted to the rank of Commander during the series? (I'll have to check and confirm this)

You're right, I don't ask from the books--the TV series and movies provide quite enough trivia, tyvm.

Thanks for the ideas and for giving my brain a shove--thanks to you, I have a few more Geek Check questions for Tuesdays!
