To boldly go....

...Where no man has gone before.
Which, given my celibate decade-long history, could suggest rather a tawdry post. Alas, the reference is pure Star Trek.

I am really excited about the new movie, and we are going to see it, sans children, Friday night. The Summer movies are a reason for heart palpitations, in my book. Of course, so is Tim, and this Summer particularly, given the approaching marriage. Did I mention that he seems to like me? No, I mean it. Demolition/construction begins on his house tomorrow. He is building rooms for my boys, and also a bathroom, and also a bit of storage. Because he loves me.

Last weekend we saw Wolverine. Do not believe those silly reviewing people, because the movie was great. Lots of explosions and comic book violence. Plus, Logan was totally hot in the movie, and the quality acting was superb-ish. I give it lots of thumbs up.

I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the new Harry Potter, too. Half of my readers are now convinced that I am going to Hell for saying that. Harry Potter is the Bomb.
Also, the new Night at the Museum is coming out soon. That first one was a funny kids movie. We're taking all the young'uns in a couple weeks. I'll give you some sort of review as we see these grand silver screen adventures. I know that's why you read these blogs; For the intelligent pop culture dialogue.

I am a trekie, and there's no help for it. In college I once went to a Star Trek Convention. For real. It was rather an accident, because we totally heard that it was being held at a big hotel downtown, so we crashed it. I don't remember who "we" was. In case you were going to ask.
I have watched Star Trek over the years in the same way that other people watch their soap operas. Back when I had a TV, anyway. It's a pretty serious fixation. Now, they've made me another movie. I heart them.

Movies are really a very fine invention. Which probably indicates that I will be a TV addict once we move in with Tim. TV is like a mini movie. You know how I've taken to watching 24? It's this really long movie, that we watch bit-by-bit, every week. How cool is that?
This is what happens to people who live without a TV. In case you were wondering.

In other news: I have been spending my days with Lacrosse and work. Which is very surprising. Just to spice up my days, I bark at my children for leaving the house in a constant mess.
Sometimes I beat them.
Just kidding.
I tried to wrestle Michael tonight, and he picked me up in the air, and threw me over his shoulder, and carried me like a bag of wheat. He is very strong, and I am apparently helpless in the face of his power. So I hope he behaves. Because if he needs a spanking, I'm in trouble.

I think spankings on anything older than 12 just tends to really irritate them and worsen the problem!

I loved the new Star Trek.....
