Resistance is Futile. I should have accepted that fact years ago but no, I thought I was strong enough to stay away.

I was wrong.

eBay has added me to their ranks.

Really, in the years since eBay came to be, I've only looked once and that was to check on the price for animated stills from The Tick. (There were none) I briefly browsed over to the Trek category and realized that was way to deep for me. I then exited the browser and never returned.

Until now.

What made me do it? The overwhelming desire to see "Spamalot" on Memorial Day Weekend. Yes, Mondo and I are headed back for NYC - The Sequel. Of course the show is sold out and there are plenty of really expensive tickets out there but eBay offers hope. eBay offers solutions. eBay has got me now.

It would have been easy had 2 tickets on our preferred date been available but they're not. Now I have to check back every hour and see if someone has posted. I have to be on the "I want it" list. The obsession has hit. I still may break down and buy somewhere else but even so, I now know the power of eBay.

Resistance is Futile.

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!
