Star Trek

May 31, 2009

We saw "Star Trek" today. Took Trinity and Jon’s parents and made a family outing of it. What a great movie to choose for it. All our friends had said it was amazing, but so few movies live up to the hype. This one did. This was one redo of a nostalgic icon that actually improved upon the orignal. I might have enjoyed other redo’s but I’ve never said it was an improvement until now. What I also loved was that all the main cast got good parts, good moments, great action. I won’t spoil it, but let’s say that it wasn’t just the Kirk and Spock show, but the entire cast got a chance to shine, and most of them got to save the rest of the cast at least once. Cool.

Trinity and I went on a girl’s afternoon out today before the movie, because I had things I needed before we go on tour, and she’s always been happier shopping than I am.  I’m just beginning to realize it doesn’t matter what I do with the kiddo, it’s just the fact that we do it together. My friends with older kids tell me my days of being cool and her wanting to spend time with me is limited, so I’m trying to enjoy it while I can.

I just finished up an e-interview. The price for that earlier play time was that I’m still working at midnight.  I used to do all my work first, then play if there was time, but lately on the weekends I’m putting my playtime first and some of the work afterwards.  Maybe it has something with Trinity getting older and me not wanting to explain to her that I couldn’t go to another movie because I had a deadline. Sometimes you’ve just got to grab the family and go to the movies. I am happier sitting here at midnight working than I would have been sitting inside on the beautiful afternoon we just had.
