Last night's Christmas party was at CineSpace in Los Angeles. This is the club where you get dinner and a movie, but last night was major party, background movie, Santa and his helpers. Amoeba invited me to go along to this party as it was hosted by a friend of his who had the good luck to make an obscure horror movie in Prague, and sell it direct to video, and make enough money to rent a club and buy 400 of his closest friends drinks! WOW!

Now this was not Hollywood glamour, this group was production experts so nobody had anyone to impress which made it more fun. We were greeted with Santa hats and beer so it started off great. Turns out that Santa himself was not the family Santa but more the naughty Santa and his elves, well, I'm sure they wear a lot more clothing at the North Pole.

The background movie was "Pirates of the Caribbean" and it was fun to go in and watch for a few minutes but the action was in the main room so that's where we huddled. I'd like to go back there sometime and have dinner and a movie since it was such a fun place. Who knows, if this guy makes another movie, maybe I'll get to go to his party again next year!

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Most Hobbit minded people have already seen the latest installment so this is for those of you waiting for the crowds to go down. Part 2 is much better than part 1. This applies to all viewers. Where the gap happens if you have not read the book (including the appendices) you will probably like the whole movie. If you've read the book and taken the time to read the appendices, then you'll appreciate the back story that's presented here. The spirit of Tolkien is present and Desolation of Smaug fits well within what will become a 6 part movie. What I liked....The opening sequence. This is not in the book and I had to look it up in the appendices and sure enough, Gandalf and Thorin did meet in Bree. Thranduil and Legolas father/son relationship. I liked it. While only a mere mention in the appendices, in this movie we see Legolas loyal to his father. That Legolas doesn't mesh with the person he becomes and it will be interesting to see what happens to Legolas in the nex...

COASTAL AREAS OF CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISHCOLUMBIA - AND ALASKA....THE TSUNAMI WARNING AND WATCH STATUS IS CANCELED FOR CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISH COLUMBIA - AND ALASKA... It's good to know that today's media is so excited for another tsunami, that newscasters managed to panic coastal residents for thousands of miles. My neighbor came rushing out her house to call out "tsunami" in 3 hours! She was ready to evacuate. We could not convice her that while we are near the beach, it is a good mile away, with a major freeway inbetween us and a nice rolling hill. She was still ready to go to higher ground, bathrobe and all. Luckily, the Weather Channel has announced the cancellation of the alert. I guess I can sleep now and not have to worry about being washed away.

Calgary, Canada - The Starfleet Experience

Image
Against all odds, the Star Trek Starfleet Academy Experience was in Calgary the same time as me! It was interactive with games, Klingon language lessons, and the Kobayashi Maru exam. All of it is to test what area you'll be admitted into Starfleet. Entrances are timed to reduce wait time to do the activities and it never felt crowded. Here's my image getting ready to beam up. And if this plays correctly, it's my actual beam up. Turns out I'm Uhura and bound for Communications!
