Persis has arrived!

Welcome to my blog. The title doesn't mean anything. It's completely nonsensical, but I like the sound of it. Persis Khambatta was a former Miss India who appeared as Lt. Ilia in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Sadly, she died of a heart attack in 1998 aged only 47. As for the Negev, it's a desert in southern Israel that former prime minister David Ben-Gurion believed was strategically vital.

Anyway, watch this space for future musings and idiotic rants.
