Caitlin wanted to take the week off and go get Cuban food, leaving Jordan to remind her there are no days off when you're doing it for the disco. Besides that entire month they take off in the summer. So since we had no time to check out any of the major releases this week, we kept it free form! Topics included but not limited to our upcoming field trip, Cait's twice delayed marital celebration, a survey of the state of Star Trek and more. Opportune June starts next month, the same way it always does, with the fifth instalment of Utena and Avatar.
