Star Trek: A new Hope

I was anxious going to see Star Trek: Into Darkness. And not because I'm a Star Trek fan, but because I'm a Star Wars fan. Well ... that might be an understatement ... let's just say I can tell you the last guard in the Leia rescue fire-fight is not killed by a direct blaster hit but a ricochet ... I've watched the whole scene many many times ... in slow motion ...

And my dear friend JJFAbrams, who did not impress me at all with his first Trek effort, has been selected as the next Star Wars director ... yikes!

The good news is that JJFAbrams somehow managed to pull the thing off! I don't know if it was just a result of my microscopical expectations but the movie was not bad at all. There were some pretty good space scenes, some good old phaser action, Vulcan paralizing moves and someone actually mentioned of the Prime Directive ... it was a proper Star Trek movie ... which makes me feel a whole lot better ...

We may get a new Star Wars movie after all ... there is hope ... a new one...

Slightly Busy

Sooooooo.... My complete lack of blogging has come to an end! I was a bit busy with chaos at work and also reading a couple times all the books up there and a couple more. Regarding the books, at least I have something to show for it now, as I managed to get a PiMP certification. Regarding work ... not much to write home or blog about...

But that's that, and I declare open a new age in blogging! YEAH!!! Hurrah for self-motivation!!!

I shall double my efforts ... soon...
