Live Long & Prosper.





Went to the Curve with Joshua, Kevin and Muhaimin today and first thing I wanted to do was watch the recently released film: Star Trek

Let's get right into it, and let's start off with the direction from J.J. Abrams. I think it's exceptional; for a second feature film, Abrams has really blown it out of the water in the terms of how Star Trek handles action and character dynamics. It's a bullet of a movie -- the man knows how to move his camera, the man knows how to keep the story moving at all times. He is definitely the director to reboot the franchise.

It's definitely a much more action-packed film which makes the connect to the mainstream easier. However, the film does have its comic relief such as when Scottie beams into the water tube. Star Trek will have you laughing, furious, cheering and deeply saddened in various scenes.

Dynamic and engaging, this Star Trek film felt more like a Star Wars film.

I feel like they've even encrypted a little bit from the Empire Strikes Back, because you have Skywalker crashing on Dagobah and Yoda helps him out. You have Kirk crashing on the snow planet where Spock Prime is and Spock's helping him out. The whole destiny themes of that sort of nature in the film, as well. Star Wars is more accepted in the mainstream than Trek has ever been, until now.

As of right now, I would say this could be best movie of the summer.

Subsequent to exiting the cinema hall, we were faced with a decision. Take a left and that's you're ticket out of the cinema, while the bathrooms were on the right. We took the right down the dark, dank and long hallway -- Joshua needed the bathroom, bad.

While waiting for Josh and Mu, I spotted the most peculiar thing:






You've probably guessed it right.

It was an advert. for the ultimate toilet bowl. *Josh thought it was a movie advert.



I came home to find Max feeling a bit under the weather.

I carried her up to my room so she could take a nap -- she can't climb the stairs just yet, remember? So I lay down on the floor and the sweetest thing happened.

She walked up to me and gave my face a few good licks, before she walked up to my left leg and rested her head down on it. She slept for about 20 minutes before my door swung open.

A total "awh moment", I know.








Oh, and I'd like to add that whenever Maxi trots around the house she looks just like a little lion cub.

Verily this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose.
