Things to do; stuff to watch; places to go.

SO. I really want to go see Star Trek again. There were several factors which prevented me from enjoying it completely the third time I went to see it. I was super tired; the theater was crowded and VERY warm; I'd just seen it for the second time the night before; I was sitting next to someone who doesn't talk AT ALL during movies. So yeah, I shamefully admit to falling asleep during a lot of it.

But. I'm ready again to see it. In fact, kind of craving it. What I really need is for someone to rec some good hot Star Trek reboot fic!

I also would like to see Terminator: Salvation, despite the fact that it could very well be horrible.

In other news, I finished watching the first season (13 episodes) of Numb3rs. It was entertaining enough. Much like The Mentalist, plots are pretty simplistic (though not as simplistic as The Mentalist plots). I mostly like the dynamic between the brothers, and the mathematics aspect of it. Though it's kind of like many computer/math stories where they use "cool" graphics to symbolize the technical process. Which means, there's a whole lot of substance missing.

It took a few days, but I downloaded all of season 2 of Numb3rs. And I'm bringing my laptop to Johncon, so I will have that for down-times.

Randomly, I came across some info about this place, Stuart Landsborough's Puzzling World. I WANT TO GO SO BAD. IT'S A FUN PARK OF PUZZLES AND ILLUSIONS AND BRAINTEASERS! HOW AWESOME IS THAT?! It's exactly the kind of thing I love!!! Unfortunately? It's in New Zealand. ;_;

In lieu of that, since I don't think I'll be able to get to NZ anytime soon, I will have to make a date to go to the Hall of Science to visit their Ames room. I haven't been there in a good long time, so I think it's time to go back! =D

[edit: I surprise myself by the fact that I, unexpectedly, have already-existing tags for some of the less commonly mentioned items in this post. I'm so organized! ]

Sara, are you planning to go to AnimeNext at all next week? Jay and I are going to go all three days, so if you're going to be there, I'd like to look for you.

Come to Bethlehem and see Star Trek again with me. ^_____^

[osaraba]

Yes! I'm going to be at AnimeNEXT starting Friday night. I'm running the Cosprints photo booth, so come by and say hi! Are you staying at a hotel near the con, or are you driving back home each night?

I'd LOVE to see Star Trek again with you! =D

We're going to be driving to the con every day. We didn't decide to go to the con until a few weeks ago. The main hotel was already sold out. It's only about an hour's drive from where I live anyway.

I'll definitely try to find you there!

Wait, you want people who DO talk during movies? Like, not just during the previews? Are you... are you a movie talker? I'm sorry, we can never, ever see a movie together.

LOL~! I don't talk during and throughout every movie. Also, I try to make sure I'm not talking over movie dialogue. I mostly make short comments, like just a couple of words at a time.

I'm not inconsiderate; when I know the person/people I'm watching a movie with don't like that sort of thing, then I won't do it. But it's my preferred mode of movie-watching, so I enjoy movies more when I watch with someone who's the same. =D
