You'llnotice the title of this post is EAGLES in concert, not THE Eagles in Concert. According to Steve Martin, Glen Frey made it very clear that the name of the band was supposed to be Eagles, and that no one member was an Eagle. That kind of bothered me, as it meant that pretty much ... Read more

Itook my Esteemed Colleague with me when I went to see the new Star Trek movie on Friday night. Not physically, of course, as we now live in different states, but mentally, he was right there with me. I kept wondering what he would think of this movie that he dreaded so much. My own ... Read more

...you'll enjoy this video. Trekkies Bash New Star Trek Film As 'Fun, Watchable' If you liked my Star Trek posts, then you'll LOVE this video. (You should love it anyway, although if you haven't seen Star Trek II, it might not make much sense.) [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xga_wchTpW8&hl=en&fs=1] ... Read more

So my brother-in-law went and bought tickets for Wolverine for me and the missus, and we went to an 8:55 showing that didn’t start until 9:20. Apparently there were problems with the projector, and they ended up giving us free movie passes to compensate, which means I won’t have to pay to go see Star ... Read more

Mysister has pointed out that almost every chat room in the history of the Internet devolves into a sexual discussion, with one exception - Star Trek chat rooms. I don't know what that means.

When he applied to Dartmouth College, he listed Star Trek as his religion. So he is exceptionally displeased with the new Trek film, which comes ... Read more

I'msitting in an airport, waiting to fly to Washington DC, and I just passed a sign that said "Ignoring Global Warming Won't Make It Go Away."  Ummm, given the fact that we've been cooling for the past ten years, that strategy has actually worked pretty well so far.  I have a hard time commenting on ...

Somy work is entirely time-consuming, and I'm feeling guilt for not updating this blog on an almost daily basis. Except it's now getting hard to update it on an almost weekly basis. I don't want to just throw in the towel, but if real life continues to be this demanding, I think I'm going to ... Read more

Ifyou can, imagine the following conversation without falling asleep. ____________ “You Mormons are dead wrong and are going to hell.” “Really? Why?” “Because you say that God has a body, when John 4:24 says God is a spirit.” “That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a body. It also says that we need to worship God ... Read more

Lastweek was nuts. When real life intervenes, keeping up with a blog is pretty rough going. I apologize. Rest assured, I have not abandoned this blog, only neglected it. Although if it were a child, that would be enough to sic CPS on me. The past couple of weeks have been very hectic, indeed, yet ... Read more
