I watched Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan over the weekend and was happily surprised at how well the New!Trek characterizations hold up when compared to the originals. The New!Trek writers really knew what they were doing. Fans at work really is a happy-making thing.

Plus it's always great to wallow in that Old!Trek goodness. And I was highly amused by the special f/x which seemed so extraordinary to me when I was a kid but now, well, yeah. But I wouldn't have it any other way.

That reminds me! Last Friday I took my Star Wars dvds to FGC in order to indoctrinate the Baylor Nephew (at the baylorsr's request, of course). He's still a little young to sit through the whole movie so around the halfway mark he and I started playing 'Shoot Darth Vader' using the dvd cases as guns (his parents don't approve of toy guns but, as I learned as a child when my parents had the same restriction, anything'll work at a pinch). And then he got out the Baylor Sister's Star Wars action figures and we played with those until his mom came to pick him up. It was a lot of fun.

I do so love corrupting the rising generation.

BTW, was just watching Scrubs on MTV and the showed a commercial for the upcoming VMA's. It was all about 'Best New Artist' or whatever and, OMG, I did not know any of the people they presented. I just, wow, I'm really not hip to what the kids are listening to. *boggles*

I don't know if they make this in other parts of the world, but when I was last at the grocery store I saw Blue Moon ice cream which is something I remember liking as a kid so I picked up a carton of it. The crazy thing is that it actually tastes blue, just like the carton says it does. It's crazy. Though I don't think I need a whole half-gallon of it.

Memories of Star Wars action figures... I have to share the story of a special little boy named Eli who one Christmas holiday decided to re-do the creche scene.

Clearly, he'd heard some story that Jesus was in danger, so when no-one was looking, Eli took baby Jesus out of the manger and hid him somewhere else and replaced him with Yoda. The shepherds and wise men were supplemented with undercover Jedi, who in their long brown robes, fit right in. Except for the light sabers perhaps.

Imagine our surprise later when we discovered the Nativity Re-Boot!

OMG that is AWESOME. Eli was just being reasonable. After all, the baby Jesus is a very important personage so obviously he must be protected by Jedi Knights. It's only logical.

*snorfles* I think the 'replacing Jesus with Yoda' was the best part. =D
