I just discovered that this is my 300th post! Is that good or bad? I don't know. I am a bit tired right now. Just learned another Rush tune that isn't particularly hard (Time Stand Still). Today was the kids last day of school. Yeah, even for Alec! His diploma is getting mailed like they always do. So he made it! Katrina is a senior now. Yikes! She is really getting in to her plans for going to Greece next summer. She has been saving and planning and doing a great job of it. Today we sent our child back into the wild with the hopes that lessons have been learned and absorbed. I can only hope and pray that they have. For me, today has been a much better day too. Let's keep it that way!
Mary and I went to see Star Trek at the new Joliet Mall theatre. It was our second time seeing it but the first at that place. A very comfortable experience with cushy seats and lots of leg room! Check it out over there whenever you can. Naturally we are trekkies so it was fun seeing all the characters again. I am really happy with how the new actors kept many of the nuances and quirks of their characters. The first time around, I really caught the McCoy and Scottie character similarities with the previous actors. Today, I really caught on with the Kirk and Spock characters. And yes, the guys in the red uniforms still always get killed. We really saw it when the 3 guys were preparing for the space jump (how fun!). You just knew the guy in the red uniform was going to get it!
Maybe it is because I am so wrapped up in Rush but I couldn't help but see a strong connection with their song "Red Barchetta" early on in the movie (when they are set in Iowa when Kirk was a kid). If you know the song and see the movie, tell me if you see it too. The song isn't played but the scene is close to the lyrics.
