Wishing that a person just showed up at my house in the mornings on my weekend and just told me what to do for the day.

I'm also wishing for a longer weekend, and more money....

Eating would probably eliminate some of this confusion.

Wishing that a person just showed up at my house in the mornings on my weekend and just told me what to do for the day.

Go hiking, write a short story, eat three meals a day, look at the clouds, tell a bumble bee that it’s “cute”, share your picnic with the ants, rent a kayak, go streaking (you know you want to), memorize the Gettysburg Address, look in the mirror and tell yourself “I’m awesome and beautiful” 100 times, make your very own 1920s flapper dress, ask someone to play checkers, play some rock and roll and turn it up, kiss your pillow and pretend it’s someone you really really like, dance until you bring disco back, make a campfire, smell the flowers, find an old book and smell the pages, sing a silly song, learn how to cuss in a foreign language, strawberries – anything to do with strawberries, build one of those Zen Sand Gardens, memorize a constellation, time for a candlelit bubble bath, listen to Mozart’s symphonies numbers 40 and 41, look for the best sunset you can find, fill the world with love.

Thanks

I'll save this list. Instead, I got in the car & went to the new Star Trek movie - that was a good 4 hours (with driving & the movie).

How’d you like the movie? Did you sit through it and keep thinking ageism?

I liked it.

Although, I got pissed off when "They're out of alignment!" after Chekov & Kirk got there by running in a spaceship that's turning over and over. There was just too much stuff being shoved at you. Of course, I'm not a 19-year-old young man, so I can understand; it just went from being interesting & exciting to annoying.

Then the scene that mirrors the one in "Wrath of Khan" came up and pretty much made it worth it. They're doing a nice job of the bonding between the characters of Kirk & Spock. And they do a nice job of being an original, understandable story while paying homage to the universe of the original series. I laughed out loud when they were about to go onto Cronos and Kirk (I think?) looks at the two guys and says, "Get out of your red shirts." Or the moment when Spock yells "Kaaaaaaaaahn!". I imagine that for big fans of TOS, there are many other things than what I picked up.

I thought of you at the end of the movie as they go off on their "5 year mission" - yes, I can see why doing a series of that would be desirable.

And I thought of ageism in the beginning (although it's definitely different when you're looking at Bones - "Look! There's a fine line on his face!"). Then I got into it. And you do have the Peter Weller character (ok: the older character = bad guy), but I thought about the ages of people while the captains all sat in that one room before they're attacked. I looked for noticeably older people, but didn't notice anything.

Yeah. I do feel the movie and too much action. In fact, one of the things I talked to another LJer about was how, if they only make action movies, they are not using the franchise to its full potential. That was our opinion, anyway.

Bob, the other comic book nerd on the trivia team, hated the mirror sections. I didn’t mind it so much. Figured it had enough of a twist for the old folks and it would seem brand new to the whippersnappers.

My favorite part was when Carol said, “I’m a friend of Christine Chapel’s. You don’t even know who she is, do you?”

Yes, they replaced the red shirts with wrinkles. lol Never beam down anyone over 30.

Found this on "my" Monday morning, "time to look up FLLW's name in Google News":
"Robocop channels Frank Lloyd Wright"

I apologize for subjecting you to this information. But it's FLLW + Peter Weller and, well... I can't help but provide a link.

aside from the fact that that your sister loves that movie/character.

As a historian, Weller will probably do a ridiculous amount of research for the role.

In Robocop voice: Citizen, stop putting support beams in my structures.

No apologies, it’s cool
