Star Trek 05-08-09

A bit late (by a week) on posting this, but in my defense I had written it once already and then my blasted iPhone deleted it somehow. Anyway…

I had the pleasure of seeing Star Trek on opening night and what a pleasure it was! I was expecting awesome (of course, being the Trekkie that I am), but this movie really blew me away. Not only will Star Trek fans like it (and no, I’m not talking about the die hard ones who will QQ about Vulcan), but the average, everyday joe/too-bad-your-not-a-trekkie-too will love it as well. I saw the regular version opening night and then again the next day on IMAX. If you haven’t already, GO SEE IT! I even went all out and wore my beloved Star Trek t-shirt that Dhare got me at comic-con. Yeah, that’s right…I’m like real geek.

You won’t find a better cast in a better movie all summer. Zachary Quinto as Spock and Chris Pine as Kirk are dead on. What talent, and the rest of the cast? Outstanding!

J.J Abrams is a genius and my new hero. Thumbs up for Star Trek, but not for the mean ticket taker jerk who wouldn’t let me in an hour ahead of time. ♦♦♦♦♦

Four days ago Dhare and I adopted two cats.  I wanted one, but at the shelter they had 2-for-1 deals on kittens…yes, that’s right.  A 2-for-1 cat bargain.  Once I got past the obscurity of it, the 2-for-1 deal actually came to our advantage as we brought home “Splat” and “Angel”.  Splat, now called Tucker and Seven (named after Seven of Nine from Star Trek Voyager..yeah!!!), who used to be Angel, are now permanant fixtures in our little studio here in Manhattan.  Seven sleeps all day and hisses at Tucker.  Tucker tries to kiss her and play.  They both exemplify the typical nocturnal habits of the feline…the entire night long…

But, even with the tumultuous combination of kitty paws chasing each other and everything in the apartment being knocked over, the cats are great and I’m happy to say that they are a cheerful addition!
