Space, the final frontier… again.

Yesterday before working in the yard (which was looooong over due BTW) and visiting the MIL for mother’s day, the wife and I went to see the 2009 reboot of Star Trek. I really enjoyed the movie, so I won’t ruin it for anyone by posting spoilers… besides, there are enough of those around the web for you to read if you really want to.

The movie offered enough to bring new people to the series, while keeping some of the old to please the trekkies. Famous lines like “I’m a doctor, not a …” and “I’m giving it all she’s got captain” find they way into the movie. I wasn’t too sure about the entire cast line up going into the movie, but after seeing it I feel like everyone filled their rolls very well. I’m looking forward to seeing more Star Trek movies with this crew.

I’m my no means a trekkie… I watched TOS and TNG but hated DS9, Voyager and Enterprise. Heck, I still have yet to see Star Trek: Nemesis which came out in 2002. Doh!

Vacation was good

Hello, remember me? You know, that guy that uses the odd handle “d3bruts1d”? The owner of the site that you are looking at right now? Still not ring a bell? Can’t say that I blame you, updates here have been few and far between over the last several months. I’m not going to make any promises, but hopefully that’ll change. :D

I’m back from a long over due vacation. The wife and I headed over to North Myrtle Beach for the first part of the month. Sand, sun, and food… lots, and lots of food. I’ll try and get some pictures posted over the next few days of everything.

Even though I’ve been to Myrtle several times now, this is the first time we ended up at Broadway at the Beach. That place has a lot of cool shops and restaurants. Two of my favorite places there included Key West Grill and the KISS Coffeehouse (better than Starbucks!). Farrah enjoyed Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville (I like Cheeseburger in Paradise better!) and It’s Sugar a wall to wall candy store. Of course we also visited the outlet mall and Barefoot Landing.

Aside from Myrtle, we also drove north to Wilmington, NC and toured the U.S.S. North Carolina Battleship. I enjoyed the self tour, and seeing everything on the ship. I’ll let Farrah describe her experiences’ on her own blog. ;) I took some photo’s with my iPhone, and I’ll upload them to Facebook or Picasa over the next few days. I think she has already posted several on her Facebook page.

I’m home now and back to work… and all I want to do is get away again already! :D
