WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME STAR TREK IS AT THE TECH MUSEUM?!?!?!

They're even playing the new movie in the IMAX theatre!!! I don't know how yet, but I'm going. I can take the bus to BART, take the BART to the Millbrae station, switch to the train, get off in San Jose, and walk the 6 blocks to the museum. The movie doesn't start until about 5 though, so getting back will suck.

I'll figure something out.

This would all be a lot easier if I drove.

Why do I feel like I've used that for a subject line before?

Maybe it's the chocolate chips I'm eating right now, I don't know. I'm too lazy too see if we have all the ingredients to make chocolate chip cookies let alone actually make them, but I wanted something chocolatey so fuck it - I'm eating the chips. Anyhoo, my point is that I'm all giggly.

I'm really not into the new Star Trek fandom, but I do love how enthusiastic and fun everyone seems. I do like to pop in every now and then. Right now, I'm reading all the Shatner/Nimoy prompts for the kinkmeme and just loving how much fun they're having ^_^ I'm also rediscovering my crush for Mr. Shatner (Nimoy can come too). Not like it ever went away, but it is feeling a little stronger these days.

Ummm... I really don't have anything else to say. I've listened to this song about 20 times in a row and I can't seem to stop. I'm so going to have this played at my funeral.

( You. Are. Gon. Na. Die. )

ETA: Okay, another not-so-guilty confession. I'm also watching I Survived a Japanese Game Show on ABC. Despite being tired and semi-in pain, I'm kinda loving life right now.

ETA 2: Exciting House spoilers and Doctor Who spoilers. SPOILERS

Last night I was on the computer until about 2am playing with PSP and making a banner and icon featuring Ikuta Toma and Yoon Eun Hye (a Korean actress). I still wanted Toma in my banner, but I also wanted something different. Plus I think Eun Hye is adorable/gorgeous and I absolutely loved her in Coffee Prince. I'll post some pictures of her when I do my girl!crush picspam. Anyhoo, the banner is simple but I like it. The lyrics are from 'Now Hang Me Up To Dry' by Cold War Kids because thanks to those Burn Notice commercials, I can't get that shit out of my head. Would anybody happen to have that song? Or Lady Gaga's album while I'm asking? *bats eyelashes*



Anyway, the point of this is that now I think I've started shipping it. Ugh, I sound like a fandom!secret. Not in a realistic way of course, but in some. kind. of way... probably a Mary Sue kinda way *shrug* I don't even know how that would work. They just look pretty together ;P But I feel like creating a backstory for them and a fanmix and I don't know what's wrong with me.

After I got off the computer at 2, I watched an episode of Star Trek. TOS of course. I can't seem to fall asleep these days without watching some. The night before I went to sleep around 2am because I just had to finish Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. And now that I finally own all three seasons, look out! I'll never sleep again.

------------------

Today we actually had some excitement at work. A car was smoking in front of our store (thankfully not right outside). We were all watching and calling 911 just to make sure the police knew what was going on when the damn thing burst into flames. Only in the front/engine area, but still. Other than movies, I've never seen a car actually on fire. Thank God the fire didn't reach the gas and blow. It was crazy. And smelled disgusting. At one point, we had 4 cop cars and 2 fire engines there. But yeah, that was the highlight of my day.

Oh, and I know y'all probably know about this by now, but if you haven't seen any of those 'literal music videos' floating around there, I recommend you start with 'Total Eclipse of the Heart'. I couldn't stop laughing XD

1. House/Wilson vid which made me smile uncontrollably

2. *original* Kirk/Spock vid which made me cry like a baby (then again, when it comes to Kirk & Spock, what doesn't make me cry?)

3. *new* Kirk/Spock vid set to 'Poker Face' by Lady Gaga. When it comes to the new ST movie, please to be keeping the crack vids coming <3

'Star Trek' has galactic $76.5M opening weekend

"Star Trek," ... is an unusual blockbuster that pleased critics, too, receiving 96 percent positive reviews on the Rotten Tomatoes Web site.

Not really sure why it's an 'unusual blockbuster,' but okay. People like it. That's all I care about. It's weird seeing so much activity in the fandom again. And for the record, it still feels weird reading about the 'new' Kirk/Spock. However, all this influx of Trek!love has made me break out my TOS DVDs again <3

I saw the new Star Trek movie last night and let me say, as a fan of the original series, I loved it. It was funny, entertaining, exciting, and the cast worked really well together. I was a little nervous going into it just because you never really know, but I was pleasantly surprised. Like, you have no idea how happy I am that I liked this movie. I was so worried. ( A bit more spoilery thoughts ) I really liked the movie and the characters. I recognized them, but they were also new and surprised me. In a good way <3

I've had this stuck in my head since yesterday when I made the mistake of playing DDR at the movie theatre while waiting for L: Change the WorLd to start. And after being on my feet for 9 hours at work - WTH was I thinking?

And if my life isn't exciting enough already, I finally got my health insurance card and now I'm looking online for gastroenterologists near me (who take my insurance). So far, I see a couple who are accepting new patients. I'll give them a call tomorrow before work. I'm so happy to think that soon I might actually know what the eff is wrong with me and what I can do about it.

Saturday is my next day off and I plan on going to J-town for magazines and Target for a Mother's Day card and a birthday card for my dad (whose bday is on Mom's Day). And next week is freaking Star Trek. Honestly, I'm taking this movie with a grain of salt. It won't be my ST and I think I can be okay with that. Otherwise I know I'll just be disappointed. Even with the awesome power that is Simon Pegg. Oh, and I'll have my Kirk and Spock action figures ;)

ETA: New profile thingy. Toma *licks*

I'm glad everyone seemed to have survived VAD (Velociraptor Awareness Day). I assume everybody is alive and well. I personally spent the day wearing my 'When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth' shirt from Threadless.com. I also went to the mall with my sister and bought another pair of those awesome dinosaur earrings from Hot Topic, because like an idiot I broke my first pair. I'm just glad they still have them; I thought they weren't around any more. Well, I can't find them on the website, but they had them in the store.

Oh! I also bought two action figures from FYE - original!Kirk and original!Spock. I don't know why I didn't have them already, but I'm just glad they had both. I'm going to take them with me when I go to the midnight showing of the new ST movie *nods*

After the mall, we all went home and did nothing until it was time to leave again. My sister and I went to go see Jeff Dunham live at the HP Pavilion. As usual, it was great. I was worried it wouldn't be that funny because this is the 3rd time I've seen him live and I've seen all his specials on Comedy Central, but he had more new stuff than I thought he would. And it was good. It won't be nearly as funny if I tried to tell you about it. For instance, if I were to say 'smushed pussy,' you might make this face o_0, and understandably so. Anyway, it was funny and I got a Peanut shirt <3 Oh, and it was Jeff's birthday. After the show, some people brought out a cake shaped like a suitcase with Achmed, Peanut, and Walter on top and sang 'Happy Birthday.'

And now I'm going to clean out my sister's computer of all the shit I don't need any more, and put what I still want to keep in one file so they can transfer it to an external hard drive and then reformat this thing. I've already erased like 5 gigs worth of stuff and I have at least 5 more gigs. I also have to clean out the guest room of all my shit. Take home what I can, throw away what I don't want, and have them put the rest in the attic. Times like this reminds me that I don't really live anywhere. I mean, I live at my mom's, but I don't have a room. I don't really have any personal space. I won't lie - that's a rather depressing thought.

However, the other day I set up a savings account, so I'll start putting money away and maybe not too long from now I'll actually be able to get my own place.

Since this entry seemed to be getting a little depressing towards the end, I'm going to end it with this preview of a special on/about/with Toma (I can't wait for his new drama!!):
