Remarks of the week

I find myself enjoying Deuteronomy very much, especially in this translation. I really like reading the laws. I think it's because I'm a geek. In other books not so much, I go crazy every time I have to read the temple laws and and specifications for building. Boring! Maybe if I built model airplanes or cars I would appreciate it more but as I'm a different kind of geek specs hold no interest for me.

I gave in last Friday to channel surfing. I never noticed before that I wasn't really aware that the TV was on. Mostly I would be playing Farmtown and the TV would be on in the background. When I gave it up last week I noticed that I got more lonely and just a little bit crazy. I figured that it was because I spend all day during week listening to little children but at night it was my turn to hear adults talk.
"Why don't you just turn on Christian radio and listen to something wholesome instead?" you say. Because I really can't listen to Contemporary Christian music for more than 5 minutes before going insane. There are so few now that I will listen too and the radio just won't play them. Some artists or groups I can't stand the sound of. I'm sure they were the best in their church choir but their voices are like nails on a chalkboard to me.
Yes I know they have a great message, la dee da dee da, but it doesn't change the fact that they don't sound good delivering it.
(Rant over)
So I turned on the tv. Back to my good ol' documentaries, biographies, design, cooking shows and the no purpose mindless show. On a happy note, I discovered that they are showing Star Trek TNG every night again. (Closet trekkie)

Right. So last week we went to see the new Star Trek movie, loved it!
There were a few errors that I think only a trekkie would notice.
Chekov wasn't part of the cast in the beginning. Which you could easily explain his involvement by the crisis on Vulcan throwing off the space time continuum. I'll give 'em that one.
When did Romulans get tattoos?
The uniforms at the end are about 15-20 years to early.
There are more but I'll leave that to the super trekkies.
Anyway. I had a super time and really enjoyed the show.

Bible reading: good!
TV off: eh, I was more lonely but did enjoy some of the silence. (For those that don't know, Chris works the night shift)
