Quiet Sunday Morning

Yesterday turned out to be a pretty good day. Steve liked his presents for the most part. We didn't go out for dinner because he had had a big, late lunch and wanted popcorn at the movie so we'll do that some other time.

We went to the new Star Trek movie, which had me the most excited because I'm a Trekker from way back. I've loved Captain Kirk for a long long time. Overall, it was very well done. Some of the casting was terrific: Spock was amazingly dead on, Kirk was suitably cheeky and the look-before-you-leap kind of guy, even Dr. McCoy you could see the curmudgeon he'd become, but Checkov was completely wrong. I had one fundamental problem with the film, a fatal flaw that I can't overlook....

Spock would NOT be romantic with Uhura. Period. Wrong wrong wrong. He's embraced his Vulcan side and participates in Pon Farr every 7 years, he doesn't dabble with Uhura.

So today, I will finish weekend cleaning and laundry. Steve may be mowing the lawn (fingers crossed). We'll be having dinner with his parents at 4 (they eat WAY early).

Tonight on tv, I'll have to tape PBS Mystery's Wallander episode because the Survivor finale is showing.

Today's Blog/Website of the Day is walking on the cosy side on a quiet Sunday, My Cosy Book Nook found at http://mycozybooknook.blogspot.com/.

Hopefully your Sunday is turning out to be as gorgeous as it is here; the sun is shining, there's a sweet smell in the air. Go out and enjoy it whether it be doing yard work or sitting in a chair on a deck.

Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
