G is for Glasses!
From the title, one may think that they are about to read about eyeglasses. I must admit, the title is somewhat misleading in this manner. However, these glasses are even better.
First, a Star Trek glass tumbler (dishwasher safe, not that I will every use it) that I picked up the other day after a two hour bus ride - someone had mentioned to me that they may have seen some Star Trek merchandise across the city, and I would take no chances of missing a unique item. I intend on, for the most part, keeping it in it's semi-protective box:
On the front of the glass is Spock, giving the Vulcan salute. The design is very simple:
And on the back is the phrase "live long and prosper", with an IDIC underneath:
And then there is the NuTrek glass that I picked up at the Comic and Toy Expo this year - I chose only to buy the Spock glass, although there were also glasses with Kirk, Uhura, and Nero:
On one side (really the only reason I got the glass) is Spock Prime, looking absolutely dashing:
A closeup:
And on the other side, is NuSpock as played by Zachery Quinto (I must say, he always looks quite dashing as well):
Unfortunately, I have run out of room for displaying items in my collection - these glasses are on a shelf at the moment, but behind my books. I have been working on organizing everything in such a way that will allow more room for "trinkets".

Doctor Who Glass - Drinking Water in Style with a Dalek, a Cyberman, and Tom Baker as The Doctor.
A few days ago I was (as usual) wandering and busing around the city in search of unique and affordable collectables. A glass may not exactly be unique, but it was sure affordable, there was only one of them, and it had COOL THINGS on it. First of all, it has a Cyberman and a Dalek on it. Second of all, it has Tom Baker as The Fourth Doctor on the front under the Doctor Who logo. Third... it's a glass. And I can drink from it.
The thing is, though, I have only used it to drink water once. I am too paranoid about the color coming off of the glass, so it sits on my shelf with my Doctor Who DVDs and will probably never get used again. Oh, the woes of a collector. (And yet I take my action figures out of the packaging to act out episodes and do other "cool things". Go figure.)
