Monday into Tuesday
Weekend reflections… My sis and I saw “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” on Saturday in Brooklyn Hts. The website and the trailers are quite cool; the movie’s pretty good. A thumb’s up on the Ebert and Siskel scale; a grade of B — but I could push it to a B+ were I in [...]

Ok, so at this hour, the on-line tv reviewers have posted their reviews of the latest next-to-last episode of “Enterprise,” but I am trying my best not to read them (since NYC’s local UPN has Yankees on TV on Fridays, no “Enterprise” until tomorrow). I can’t give in to reading the spoilers and ruin it [...]

NY Times: Coping: In a West Side Apartment, a World. Japanese film editor has 40 years of Asian American historical stuff, slowly being given to NYU so he can put in a double bed. Sounds like my bedroom.

I mean, Geez Louise, if you want [...]

On Saturday, P and I went to the wedding of one of my work-study students who had recently graduated. Centerport, Long Island was the venue for the ceremony and the reception, which would have been perfect if it wasn’t raining cats and dogs. We reserved a Zip car and made the trek along the Belt [...]

I watched most of “Enterprise” and its Mirror Universe Episode 2 thing. As much as I had (surprisingly) enjoyed Episode 1 (“poor Forrest bites the bullet again!”), I’m scratching my head about Episode 2. Enterprise’s Real Universe Vulcan Ambassador Soval made an appearance as Mirror Universe’s Downtrodden-2nd-class citizen Starfleet officer Soval. And, I liked his [...]
