I hope you're feeling better! And I love hearing about your mom. Star Trek was fantastic, despite me knowing almost nothing about it, besides a few bits of The Wrath of Kahn. I found myself giggling gleefully at a lot of the character interactions, which I didn't expect at all.

Hope the movie venture means you're feeling at least a little better!

That's great about Star Trek!
I had to take 2 tries before finishing Jane Eyre. The first time, I guess I wasn't able to get into the writing, so I gave up. Liked it so much better the second time.:)
