Space, the final frontier
May. 7th, 2009 09:02 pmI went to see Star Trek today, at the Piccadilly Cinema in town this afternoon. This was (a) easier to reach than Belmont and (b) I could go during the day, which I much preferred. I have enough problems sleeping without getting hyped up by flashing special effects and bright lights just before I go to bed, even though seeing it with a crowd of fellow fans would heighten the mood.
Also I was doing some retail therapy in town anyway, with the blessing of the Tax Department and the Govt, which has got to be one of the stranger things that ever happened to me and all the other people in Australia who earn less than $100,000 a year and thus received Kevin's economic stimulus present. I really can't bring myself to call it a package :-) So yes, I got some shoes; amazingly found just the right pair very quickly AND they fitted. It was obviously a sign that the shoes should come home with me.
I'm not going to spoiler the movie at all and to say much more than that I did enjoy it, probably would spoiler people. In spirit, it took me back to how I felt about Star Trek at the beginning, which made me a fan when I was a teenager and helped me to meet various friends whom I still know today. It was a lot of fun and I'll probably be back to see it again.
