Good Day!

So, things are picking up here at work and today I finally get my lap top. Almost a month after I started, but better late than never I always say. It is brand spankin' new so I guess it was worth the wait - it has a DVD/CD/W/RW - so I can watch movies when I travel (I know, I get excited about the smallest stuff).

Lately I have been on a DS9 watching kick, thanks to my Tivo and double features every day of the week on Spike TV. The funny thing is I am finding myself preferring this show over ST:TNG and I think I understand why. TNG was always about adventure and exploring, whereas DS9 was about relationships and nowadays I care more about relationships than adventure. As I watch the shows from the beginning I can see how they built up the mystique of The Dominion, which of course leads to the Dominion War until the end of the show. It is such a shame that I didn't give the show as much attention back when it was first run on UPN before it was canceled!

After listening to my Charlie & The Chocolate Factory songs I know it is a MUST that I see that movie. I wonder if I can get us a sitter on Friday night...

Well if you can get her over to my sister's house I'll be babysitting the twins so her & hubby can go... Probably too long of a drive, eh?

That would be b/c DS9 WAS the best ST series of all time. TNG was boring and had no consequences. Worf broke his back one week and couldn't walk, and the next week he was back to running around and kicking ass. Nog loses his leg during the Dominion War and the issues that arise from that last for 4 episodes.

The fascinating part about DS9 is the fact that if they tried to make that series today it'd never get made, or at least the first 3 seasons of it. All that stuff about the Bajorans and terrorism and religion? Never get made now. That's why it's the best of them all. Put the seasons in your netflix. you won't be disappointed.
