Spock

Spock Oven Mitt for the Trekkie Baker

October 11, 2011 by noemi Leave a Comment

It’s National Chocolate Week, and people have been making delectable chocolate concoctions all week. Have you been doing your part?

If you are – or think you are – an ace in the kitchen, and you also cannot get enough of Spock and the rest of the Star Trek crew, then here is something that you ought to add to your (kitchen utensils/tools) arsenal: an oven mitt for Vulcans. Now you may not be a real Vulcan and may only be aspiring to be one, but practically everyone can form the Vulcan salute anyway.

The mitt is heat-safe and is made of neoprene, so you can be sure that your precious hands are kept safe while you do what you do in the kitchen. Bad news for lefties – they only mitts that fit the right hand! Still, I am sure you can manage to use this.

What do you think? While Spock will definitely not need to use the oven – food synthesizer, hello? – it is still a pretty cool accessory to have around for making cookies with yummy MSG. Grab one – or two – at Menino’s for $29.99. (Yes, I think the price is rather steep, especially since it is already at a $10 discount!)

Here’s one last look at the mitt.

Spock Plays Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock

October 5, 2011 by noemi Leave a Comment

Who remembers “The Lizard-Spock Expansion” episode of The Big Bang Theory? It was only when I watched that episode did I discover the alternative version of Rock, Paper, Scissors – Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock – and I am willing to bet I am not alone in this. And just in case you are still not aware of the Star Trek-inspired version (there is nothing wrong with that, really), let’s talk a little bit about the game.

Everyone knows how to play Rock, Paper, Scissors, yes? Rock beats scissors. Paper beats rock. Scissors beat paper. Now on to the alternative. This image says it all.

This Is What Leonard Nimoy Does These Days

May 30, 2011 by noemi 2 Comments

Ever wondered what the famous Leonard Nimoy has been doing in the past years? Many of us know him as Spock and nothing else, but some of you may not know that he is also a photographer. In fact, last year, he held an exhibit called Secret Selves at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art.

A lot can happen within a year, though, and it seems that the venerable Spock has had another career change in the recent months. That is, if Bruno Mars and his recording label can be believed. Now I have nothing against Bruno Mars, but let’s just say that he is not part of my daily playlist. (If you are averse to his music, bear with me. You won’t regret it.)

Anyhow, his song title “The Lazy Song” has an official alternate video, which will make the day of Spock-lovers (both my hands raised). Then again, if you have no sense of humor, you just might want to send Bruno Mars a death threat for daring to portray your idol in such a way. If you feel that way, think again. Vulcans may not experience emotions like we do, but Leonard Nimoy is very much human.

Enjoy!
