The new 'Star Trek' movie...
Kestral
Woj & I just got back from seeing it and couldn't be more thrilled &
pleased. He is a fan, but I am a major Trekkie and didn't find ANYthing to
dislike and a TON of wonderful things--casting was top-notch, acting was
fantastic, storyline was original....
*sigh*
Who would've thought that 'twould live long and prosper so well?

even better the second time around ;-)

Ya, we're definitely gonna get it on DVD....just wanted to see it in the
theater first :-) This was the first time we had gone to the cinema since
the last 'Star Wars' movie came out because we *had* to see that on a big
movie screen!
'Star Wars' was THE first majorly influential movie for me....it was like
my brain grew five sizes bigger. Which was your first?

We saw it Sunday night; we occasionally do get to see a movie that
wasn't chosen by the 10-year-old. I loved it. Ogre wasn't as big about
it, mostly because the story line made it so much of what happened in
the original series won't/can't happen. Tough. Alternate universes are
an SF/sci-fi staple, and this isn't Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek. We
did want to see Spock go all Sylar on Nero, though <g>

I grew up a Trekker, and couldn't wait to see this - and it was
totally worth it. There were times I know I squealed like a little
girl, and others where I just sat with my mouth hanging open (no
comments, Wojo).
Can't wait to see it again at the cheap seats, and then on DVD a few
hundred times.

LOL!
Oh, tooo right! I said to Woj that I was going to be hard put to not think
of Spock as evil, ala 'Mirror, Mirror' :-)

Same here, Miss!!! I kept on nudging Ken, whispering in his ear, "Oooh,
ooh, they referenced _____, isn't that cool?" till I think he wanted to
move to another row :-)

Hey there, Wag, LTNS ;-) Nothing for me to forgive you for, of course,
just wanted to point out that some of us will *never* leave ;-)

LOL! Leave it to you, my special friend, leave it to you. ;-) BTW-
I voted for you in the "original song" contest you entered awhile
back. And after I woke up (sorry, but it *did* put me to sleep!) I
voted again. lol Many kudos and MUCH luck with your book- the
preview certainly seems interesting.

Excuse me while I collect myself... and expect a personal reply in e-
mail soon, Kate.
In the mean, they just announced that MDA has severed their
affiliation with Jerry Lewis. My youth was spent watching his
telethon for hours on end on Labor Day Weekend, running back-n-forth
from the TV to the back yard as my parents bid a fond farewell to
summer, surrounded with their family, friends and neighbors gathered
around a huge brick bar-b-que pit and a beer truck in our backyard in
Terre Haute, Indiana. It was the epitome of family, community, and
caring about something bigger than yourself. It was where I learned
of love, sharing, serving, and sense of belonging.
I moved back to Terre Haute to help my sister recover from a serious
health condition. Rest her beautiful soul, she passed less than a
year later at the age of sixty-two. A year after that, I lost my last
sibling, my brother. He was fifty-four. I am the last living Wagner
of that generation in a world that not so long ago was populated with
countless Wagners- countless reasons of why I would live forever and
not be held accountable for the friendships I might cast aside over a
perceived, albeit felt, slight, without a fight.
I've spent a year thinking of loss, natural and needless. When Jerry
was unceremoniously excused from the event that he began, nurtured,
and served so long, I saw the world that I was brought up in, and
inherited, (Dean & Jerry, Ed Sullivan, Red Skelton), gasp its last
breath. "The world has moved on", to steal a line. So, I made a
decision. While I cannot resurect the crops of the old world, I sure
as hell can water and nurture the blooms I cultivated on my own, in my
own back yard garden, reaching out to those who responded in turn to
an ounce of friendship with a pound of grace.
I know what I had. I've yet to understand how I let dubious
circumstances take it away. It's time.

I cannot tell you how happy I am to hear, through your words, that you are
in what sounds like a peaceful, nurturing place, Wag! At last, at long
last...
Can't wait to hear from you, my old friend :-)
