This has been the sort of day where you just need a beer. Since I only have beer in the house when people are coming over, I was reduced to having a leftover Romulan Ale that no one would drink! It's really not that bad, it's just blue. Today was all about school and work and I think the sun came out but I'm not really sure.

Today's Kelly update is courtesy of Brian:

Hi folks,It's been great hearing from everybody in Kelly's life thanks for all the support.We're celebrating little victories every day. Friday Kelly was opening his eyes for 30 seconds at a time and trying to answer questions from Tom by blinking.

It looks like he has to really fight to stay awake because his brain says sleep. His body has massive amounts of healing to do.The doctors can tell from the grimace on his face that he is in pain (believe it or not this is a good sign) so they are giving him small amount of morphine. This makes him comfortable but it knocks him out cold.

He is responding well to the dialysis. His liver and kidneys are barely functioning, but they are seeing improvement and hope to see them back to functional in a week.Still no idea what caused all this. Kelly is now going to be written up as a case study.

Tom has been with him constantly, and we're all waiting to get him off the ventilator so we can hear his voice again.

    I've got one of those Ales in my fridge too, waiting for someone to drink.

    Yeah, I only drank 1/2 of the bottle and then I gave up.

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!
