More Stuff, with sprinkles
1: Because of the aforementioned May Mystery Shop Death March and the added money it will bring in, Grace and I may just be able to pay our bills up to current, eliminating the “you’re behind on your bill by a month” phone calls. WHOOPEEE!!!!
2: We may also be adopting another dog in June. Poor Winker has been lonely and a bit clingy since Daisy died, so we are thinking a new sister will do her good. Grace is already scouting out Basset Rescues and animal shelters for likely candidates.
3: On another topic, it would seem that the good reviews for the new Star Trek film are driving some hardcore Trekkies crazy, mostly because they are determined to hate it (even tho they will all go see it and buy the Blue Ray Special Edition when it comes out). As with 99.99% of all Fannish whining, I find great amusement in their anguish.
4: HEY! All y’all who are playing characters in the Dungeon Delving thing, tell me what your character is doing! Don’t make me ask twice or I’ll send Vito and Jimmy the Goat around to pay you a visit.
5: Mothers Day is coming up this Sunday. If you’ve got a mom, tell her you love her.
More bloggage later.

Glad you’re feeling better, reconnected, and the financial daylight is in sight.
I suppose I could be called a hardcore Trekkie. I’ve got my ticket for tomorrow afternoon. I’ve been avoiding reviews and commercials for the last week, trying desperately to avoid spoilers. (And I’ve still gotten stuff spoiled, stuff I really would have liked to be surprised by.) I don’t have any doubts this will be a fine contemporary Hollywood action/effects film. But will it resonate with me on my personal Star Trek wavelength? I don’t know. I hope so. I’ll know tomorrow.
The main thing I find amusing about the new Trek movie is the fact that the ship looks WAY cooler than the one in the original series. Star Fleet must have suffered some serious budget cuts in between times!
“Spock! Put a scan of that nebula on the screen!”
“Sir, I am afraid that our screen is nonfunctional owing to budget cutbacks. However, I have made ordered a copy of the scan from our photo lab, and will paste it up on the screen as soon as it arrives.”
^_^
Actually, I am pretty jazzed about the movie and have high hopes. I’ve known for years that Trek would need to be finding new actors and situations if it was going to continue to live, and apparently it has!
