for your inner Trekkie
Chuck and I just came home from the mall. We went to the 4:10 showing of the new Star Trek movie, which wasn't crowded at all (which was what we were hoping for). I must say that I really enjoyed it. It was a little over two hours, but I didn't notice the length at all. There was something happening all the time and there was a completely plausible reason for a re-visioning of the series, so there shouldn't be angry responses about how the series has been ruined. (Although, let's face it, some people will not enjoy it just because.) I will admit to being a little skeptical of the whole thing, but I feel it turned out well. Also, critics seem to like it as well. I won't say more as I don't want to ruin it for those of you who will want to see it.
Chuck did have me read a comic book prelude to the movie, but although it provides a little more set up for the movie, wasn't needed to understand it.
After the movie, Chuck and I went to Barnes & Noble so we could pick up some more boxes and I picked up the new J.R. Ward book. We had pulled out of our parking spot and were about to figure out dinner when Steph called. She and Jon were at the mall too and planned on seeing the 9:00 show (only because the 8 o'clock show was sold out), so we ended up eating dinner with them at T.G.I. Friday's. It's been a while since we've hung out with them because their either working or over at Jon's house. All in all, an enjoyable evening.
On the books for this weekend: spend time with Mom, mostly doing manual labor, in honor of Mother's Day.
