When the powers that be at Annual Reviews decided to remodel our building, most people were pleased. When we learned that our fuzzy green carpet was being replaced by the more professional non-fuzzy beige-y carpet - well... Let's just say that there are many people in my company who do not deal well with change. A light-hearted petition made the rounds to save the carpet, but the carpet was 20 years old and never meant for the high traffic of a business office. Plus it was green. And fuzzy. Which seemed to annoy the designers.

But it appears that the plea of the workers who had been here, and like to wander around in sock-feet, was heard after all. The carpet was indeed saved. The mounted and framed carpet swatch was waiting for me on my desk this morning.

I love my job.

(I'm amused that my iPad automatically capitalizes "star" and "trek" when they are placed together. Hmm. Star Wars. Yay!)

First a note to the producers and costume designers who realized that Benedict Cumberbatch should put on a long flow-y coat as soon as the script gave them a halfway reasonable excuse. Thank you.

Secondly a note to the scriptwriters who gave Benedict and Zachery Quinto long complicated lines and asked them to deliver the dialogue quickly and crisply. Thank you. Swoon.

I'm not, never have been, and never will be a fan of the old, classic, or even recent Trek shows or movies. However, I still enjoyed the references that I did get.

A favorite blog of mine managed to put a finger on what I like about this type of movie. I've changed the quote to more closely match my opinions... I like watching attractive and smart seeming people saying awesome things.

Those are some /really/ pretty boys.

There are a lot of plot holes, and I understand the frustrations about casting, but I had fun.
